RegulonDB-WS GraphQL API

Description

API web services to connect RegulonDB MongoDB collections. Functional services currently: - Data - Gene - Operon - Regulon - Phrases - Sigmulon - SRNA - Gensor Unit - List Object (New) - Tools - Coexpression - DrawingTracesTool (dnaFeatures) - RegulatoryNetwork

Motivation

With the reengineering of RegulonDB passing from relational model to an documental model, was needed a new web service to connect to the new documental database using GraphQL technology, with this web service API can be possible to get data from RegulonDB with an application layer using the technology previously mentioned with Javascript.

System requirements

Required software

• Node JS ^16.13.0
• NPM ^8.1.4

Install

Once the repo is cloned, use this command to install all libraries dependencies of the API

bash $ npm install

After that, use the following command and edit the ".env-sample" file to add credentials to access the MongoDB collections (keeping the variable name) and the ports for GraphQL servers (by default is used port 4001 for the gateway, 4002 for private services, and 4003 for public services).

```bash

On Unix

nano .env-sample

On Windows

notepad ..env-sample ```

Then use the next command for rename the file to ".env"

```bash

On Unix

mv .env-sample .env

On Windows

REN .env-sample .env ```

Quick start

Just use this command to start RegulonDB GraphQL Closed, Open and Gateway Services:

$ npm start

Now if the GraphQL Closed or Open ports in .env was not defined, it will take port 4001, 4002 and 4003 (by default) and GraphQL Playgroud for closedServices will run at http://localhost:4002/graphql, for OpenServices will run at http://localhost:4003/graphql and for Gateway will run at http://localhost:4001/graphql
