Welcome to the GraphQL Security Project! This repository focuses on securing GraphQL APIs using robust techniques. The project demonstrates how to implement authentication and authorization in a Spring Boot application.
GraphQL offers a flexible and efficient way to interact with your data. However, with great power comes great responsibility. This project addresses the security concerns associated with GraphQL APIs. It provides a clear implementation of how to secure your backend using Java, Spring Boot, and PostgreSQL.
To get started, download the latest release from here and follow the instructions.
- Authentication: Secure your API with JWT-based authentication.
- Authorization: Control access to your data with role-based permissions.
- Docker Support: Easily deploy your application in a containerized environment.
- Gradle Build System: Simplify your build process with Gradle.
- MapStruct Integration: Efficiently map your data objects.
- Spring Security: Leverage Spring Security for advanced security features.
- PostgreSQL Database: Use a reliable and powerful database to store your data.
This project utilizes a range of technologies:
- Java: The primary programming language.
- Spring Boot: For building the backend.
- Spring Security: For implementing security features.
- GraphQL: For data querying.
- JPA: For data persistence.
- Lombok: To reduce boilerplate code.
- MapStruct: For object mapping.
- PostgreSQL: As the database.
- Docker: For containerization.
- Gradle: For build automation.
To get started with the GraphQL Security Project, follow these steps:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/Getsugatenchiro/GraphQL-Security.git cd GraphQL-Security -
Download the Latest Release: Visit the Releases section to download the latest version.
-
Run the Application: You can run the application using Gradle. Execute the following command:
./gradlew bootRun
-
Access the API: Once the application is running, you can access the GraphQL endpoint at
http://localhost:8080/graphql.
To authenticate, send a POST request to the /login endpoint with your credentials. If successful, you will receive a JWT token. Include this token in the Authorization header for subsequent requests.
Roles determine what data users can access. The application supports multiple roles, such as ADMIN and USER. Use these roles to restrict access to specific queries and mutations.
To deploy the application using Docker, follow these steps:
-
Build the Docker Image:
docker build -t graphql-security . -
Run the Docker Container:
docker run -p 8080:8080 graphql-security
-
Access the API: The API will be available at
http://localhost:8080/graphql.
