How to mirror api.crm.refine.dev graphql setup on localhost app so i can host the data locally?

How can I setup my own graphql endpoint using the schema.graphql provided by https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql so that I can host the graphql endpoint locally, effectively changing the endpoints of https://api.crm.refine.dev/graphql to http://localhost/graphql ?

Hi @L33Bz. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To mirror the api.crm.refine.dev GraphQL setup on your localhost, you'll need to set up your own GraphQL server using the schema from the CRM example. Here's a general approach to achieve this: 1. First, you'll need to obtain the GraphQL schema from the api.crm.refine.dev endpoint. You can do this by visiting the GraphiQL interface as suggested in the Discord support thread: Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1183095700247036015) Use the following query to get the schema:

   {
     __schema {
       types {
         name
         kind
         fields {
           name
           type {
             name
             kind
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }

   {
     __schema {
       types {
         name
         kind
         fields {
           name
           type {
             name
             kind
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }

2. Once you have the schema, you'll need to set up a GraphQL server locally. You could use frameworks like Apollo Server or express-graphql to do this. 3. Implement the resolvers for the queries and mutations defined in the schema. 4. Set up a database to store the data locally. The schema will give you an idea of what data structures you need. 5. Once your local GraphQL server is running, you can update your Refine app to use the local endpoint instead of the remote one. To change the endpoint in your Refine app, you would modify the GraphQL client initialization. For example, if you're using the standard GraphQL data provider, you would change the API_URL:

import { Client, fetchExchange } from "@urql/core";
import createDataProvider from "@refinedev/graphql";

export const API_URL = "<http://localhost:4000/graphql";> // Change this to your local GraphQL endpoint

const gqlClient = new Client({ url: API_URL, exchanges: [fetchExchange] });

const dataProvider = createDataProvider(gqlClient);

import { Client, fetchExchange } from "@urql/core";
import createDataProvider from "@refinedev/graphql";

export const API_URL = "<http://localhost:4000/graphql";> // Change this to your local GraphQL endpoint

const gqlClient = new Client({ url: API_URL, exchanges: [fetchExchange] });

const dataProvider = createDataProvider(gqlClient);

GraphQL Data Provider Usage (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/graphql/#usage) Unfortunately, I don't have specific information on how to set up the exact backend for the CRM example. The Refine team mentioned they might provide more documentation on this: Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1183095700247036015) For a complete local setup, you might want to look into the Refine examples, particularly the GraphQL ones, which could give you ideas on how to structure your local backend: GraphQL Example (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/graphql/#example) Remember, mirroring the entire CRM backend locally would require significant effort in setting up the database, implementing resolvers, and possibly recreating any custom logic that exists on the remote server. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
