Hello NestForge GraphQL

Example purpose

This example shows the smallest GraphQL-first application in the workspace while still using the NestForge module and config model.

Files included

The example currently includes:

• src/main.rs
• src/app_module.rs
• src/app_config.rs
• src/graphql/mod.rs
• src/graphql/schema.rs

What each file does

src/main.rs

Bootstraps the app through NestForgeFactory::<AppModule>::create(), resolves AppConfig, builds the GraphQL schema, and mounts:

• /graphql
• GraphiQL at /

It listens on port 3001.

src/app_module.rs

Registers config as a provider and exports it for downstream use. There are no HTTP controllers because GraphQL is the primary transport.

src/app_config.rs

Implements FromEnv and provides the default app name for the example.

src/graphql/schema.rs

Defines:

• QueryRoot
• MutationRoot
• User and CreateUserInput
• an in-memory UserStore
• build_schema(app_name)

What users learn from this example

This example teaches:

• how to mount GraphQL without traditional controllers
• how to feed app configuration into schema construction
• how to use an in-memory store for resolver examples
• how to separate module wiring from schema logic

What is intentionally not included

This example is deliberately small. It does not try to demonstrate:

• advanced auth
• custom GraphQL context extraction from NestForge providers
• database-backed resolvers
• multi-module GraphQL composition

Use it as a transport bootstrap reference, then move to a larger application structure as your schema grows.
