Question 1

How to add authentication to Golang Relay starter kit?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to implement authentication manually in the Go backend, such as using JWT or OAuth, and integrate it with the GraphQL schema, as the starter kit doesn't include built-in auth features.

Question 2

Golang Relay vs Apollo GraphQL: which is better for Go backends?

Accepted Answer

Golang Relay starter kit is specific to Relay's declarative data fetching, while Apollo has broader tooling and community support; choose Relay if you're committed to its React integration, or Apollo for more flexibility and ecosystem maturity.

Question 3

How to deploy Golang Relay starter kit to production?

Accepted Answer

Deploy the Go server separately on platforms like AWS or Google Cloud, and the React app on a static host or through the Node server, ensuring environment variables and build optimizations are configured, as the kit doesn't provide deployment scripts.

Question 4

Does Golang Relay starter kit support TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

No, it uses plain JavaScript with Babel; you'd need to manually configure TypeScript support by updating the Webpack and Babel setup, which isn't covered in the README.

Question 5

How to connect a database in Golang Relay starter kit?

Accepted Answer

Integrate a database like PostgreSQL by adding Go packages and modifying the data layer in schema.go, then update queries and mutations, as the kit only includes basic schema examples without database integration.

Question 6

Troubleshooting Relay with Go schema updates not working?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the schema.json is regenerated correctly using npm run update-schema after Go changes, and check that the Babel plugin is configured properly, as errors often stem from schema mismatches.
