Realworld Hasura

What?

A Realworld inspired blogging platform using Hasura + Purescript + Elm

'Inspired' as it doesn't follow the frontend or backend spec for the official Realworld example apps (https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld) but tries to replicate the features as closely as possible.

Some notable differences to reference Realworld

• Uses a Graphql Backend (Hasura https://hasura.io/)
• Frontend uses Elm UI for layout (https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/mdgriffith/elm-ui/latest/)
• Mobile responsive
• Modified Layout and design

Why?

Why not? 🤷‍♀️🐲 I wanted to try out Hasura on a 'real' project and combine it with a number of nice patterns and techniques I've been using in Elm on a work project.

How?

The project is a monorepo split into frontend, backend and infrastructure (separate READMEs in each directory)

Frontend

• A single page Elm app (deployed on vercel https://vercel.com)

Backend

• A Hasura instance is deployed on Heroku
• A Purescript serverless http api that handles authentication and custom application logic, communicates with Hasura as an actions server https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/core/actions/index.html (deployed on vercel)

Infrastructure

• Terraform configuration for provisioning the actions server, database and secrets https://www.terraform.io/

Github Actions (CI/CD/Infra)

• Automated tests run on each pull request
• A terraform plan is posted to each pull request
• A full build and deploy of each service happens on merge to main
