+# REST wrapper - Boilerplate to write a GraphQL server that wraps a REST API
+
+This boilerplate gives an example of writing a GraphQL service to wrap some pre-existing REST API.
+You can add this REST wrapper as a Remote Schema in Hasura.
+
+## Stack
+
+Node 8.10
+
+Apollo Server (GraphQL framework)
+
+## REST API
+
+The REST API is implemented in [my-rest-api](my-rest-api/) folder. It has the following APIs:
+
+```
+GET /users
+GET /users/:userId
+POST /users
+```
+
+The `GET /users` endpoint also takes an optional query param i.e. `GET /users?name=abc` and the `POST /users` endpoint expects a valid JSON payload in the body.
+
+## GraphQL API
+
+We will convert the above REST API into the following GraphQL API:
+
+```
+type User {
+  id:       String!
+  name:     String!
+  balance:  Int!
+}
+
+type Query {
+  getUser(id: String!): User
+  users(name: String): [User]
+}
+
+type Mutation {
+  addUser(name: String!, balance: Int!): User
+}
+```
+
+## How to wrap
+
+In our GraphQL service, we have defined a new API for each REST endpoint. This is what our mapping looks like:
+
+| REST                |  GraphQL                                       |
+|---------------------|------------------------------------------------|
+| GET /users          | users (name: String) : [User]                  |
+| GET /users/:userId  | getUser(id: String!): User                     |
+| POST /users         | addUser(name: String!, balance: Int!): User    |
+
+We would have to write a resolver for each API. This is what a typical resolver looks like, for e.g `getUser` :
+
+```
+getUser: async (_, { id }) => {
+    return await getData(restAPIEndpoint + '/users/' + id);
+}
+```
+
+## Deployment (Using Heroku)
+
+You need a Heroku account and heroku-cli installed. Execute the following commands in a terminal:
+
+1. Log into Heroku
+
+```bash
+heroku login
+```
+
+2. Create REST API app
+
+```bash
+# in my-rest-api directory (community/boilerplates/remote-schemas/rest-wrapper/my-rest-api)
+heroku create
+```
+
+3. Deploy REST API app
+
+```bash
+git push heroku master
+```
+
+4. The above step will return an endpoint for your REST API. Update the constant `restAPIEndpoint` in `index.js` with this endpoint.
+
+5. Create GRAPHQL API app
+
+```bash
+# in current directory (community/boilerplates/remote-schemas/rest-wrapper)
+heroku create
+```
+
+6. Deploy GRAPHQL API app
+
+```bash
+git push heroku master
+```
+
+The final step will also return a HTTPS URL in the output. Now, you can go to Hasura console and add this URL as a Remote Schema to allow querying it via Hasura.
