This project is part of a high school minimester course, introducing students to the development of a chatbot using modern web technologies. It utilizes Turborepo and pnpm for efficient management of the project's monorepo structure.

To set up the project, clone the repository and install dependencies using pnpm:

git clone [email protected]:doctor-ew/chatbot_minimester.git
or
git clone https://github.com/doctor-ew/chatbot_minimester.git
cd chatbot_minimester
pnpm install

The project includes a GraphQL server that provides an API to fetch data. To query this data:

1. Start the GraphQL server by running the appropriate development command (e.g., pnpm dev).

2. Use curl to make a POST request. This is akin to asking a specific question to the server and getting a response. Here's what each part of the command does:

   • curl: A command-line tool used for sending requests and receiving responses over the network.

   • -X POST: Specifies that this is a POST request, a common HTTP method used for sending data to a server.

   • -H "Content-Type: application/json": Sets a header indicating the type of content being sent, in this case, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).

   • -d '{"query": "..."}': The data being sent in the request. Here, it's a GraphQL query formatted as JSON. The query asks for specific fields of pocketMorties.

   • http://localhost:4000/rickmorty: The URL where the request is sent, pointing to the local GraphQL server and the specific endpoint.

curl -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"query": "{ pocketMorties { id name type image evolution evolutions rarity hp atk def spd } }"}' \
     http://localhost:4000/rickmorty

This repository includes the following:

• graphql: A GraphQL API server providing endpoints for chatbot data.
• docs: a Next.js app for documentation.
• web: another Next.js app, serving as the main frontend.
