This repo contains an example of simple chat application demoing GraphQL subscriptions feature in Ariadne.
It has following Python dependencies:
- Ariadne: GraphQL server
- Starlette: ASGI application, WebSocket route
- Uvicorn: ASGI and WebSocket app server
- Broadcaster: Messaging between chat clients
Server uses Redis for messaging.
Example client was implemented with:
- create-react-app: Project setup and dev tools
- React 18: UI library
- Apollo-Client 3.7: GraphQL client
- GraphQL-WS 5.12: GraphQL WebSockets protocol
Clone repo on your computer:
git clone git@github.com:mirumee/ariadne-graphql-chat-example.git
In cloned directory build Python chat and Redis services using Docker Compose:
docker compose build
Move to react-client directory and install client's dependencies:
npm install
Run following command in cloned directory to start Docker Compose services:
docker compose up
If you get an error about bind for 0.0.0.0:8000 failing, check if there's nothing else running on port 8000.
GraphQL explorer can be found under the http://localhost:8000/graphql/ address.
To start client, move to react-client directory and run following:
npm run dev
Open a web browser of your liking and navigate to http://localhost:5173/ start chatting. Every browser tab will be separate chat session, so you can open as many as you like to experiment with multiple users.
