GraphQL application powered by FastAPI and Strawberry. Similarly to Shulker Box, this service uses Beanie as the ORM in front of MongoDB. The approach is a little different here, since the app does not expose a create endpoint, but instead it consumes events from the other microservices and creates the notifications.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

To get started you need to have Docker installed and optionally Poetry, if you want to have virtual environment locally. All the needed commands are available via Makefile.

First, build the images.

make build

Then, you can just start the containers.

make up

After that, you should be able to see the output from the FastAPI server. It will be running on port 8004, so you can access the documentation via http://localhost:8004/api/docs.

There are also few useful commands to help manage the project.

If you have Poetry installed, you can run below command to have all the dependencies installed locally.

make install

In case you want to avoid installing anything locally, you can enter server container and run other commands from there.

make enter

To make development smoother, this project supports pre-commit hooks for linting and code formatting along with pytest for testing. All the configs can be found in .pre-commit-config.yaml and pyproject.toml files.

To install the hooks, run the following command.

pre-commit install

Then you can use the following to run the hooks.

make lint

There is also a command for running tests.

make test

pytest is configured to clean the database after every test. Tests are also using different sessions to have a clean separation. You can check more fixtures in the conftest.py file, or the general configuration in the pytest.ini section.
