Dokoon-NextJS-GraphQL 🚀

A Modern Transition from REST to GraphQL
🔥 Reimagining Dokoon-NextDRF with GraphQL Power

Tech Stack Authentication

📖 Overview

This project evolves from Dokoon-NextDRF (Next.js + Django REST Framework) to demonstrate:
✨ GraphQL API implementation as a modern alternative to REST
✨ HTTP-Only Cookie Authentication for enhanced security
✨ Focused on backend API architecture over UI polish

Note: While the original project emphasized full-stack features, this version prioritizes GraphQL implementation patterns and secure auth flows.

🛠 Key Features

Feature Description
📡 GraphQL API Complete replacement of DRF endpoints with GraphQL queries/mutations
🔒 Auth Strategy JWT authentication via HTTP-Only cookies (No localStorage!)
⚡ Performance Optimized data fetching with GraphQL's query flexibility
🧩 Modular Design Clean separation between Django models and GraphQL resolvers

🌐 Tech Stack

Frontend
Next.js GraphQL Client

Backend
Django GraphQL Server

🚀 Installation

1. Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/idarbandi/Dokoon-NextJS-GraphQL.git
cd Dokoon-NextJS-GraphQL

2. Frontend Setup

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

3. Backend Setup

cd backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac
venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py runserver

🔍 Why GraphQL Over DRF?

  • Eliminated Over-fetching: Clients request exact data needs
  • Single Endpoint: /graphql replaces multiple REST endpoints
  • Strong Typing: Schema-first development with Graphene-Django
  • Frontend Flexibility: Next.js seamlessly consumes GraphQL API
