Getting started with fauna-dev and grapql

Hi
I’d like to use fauna-dev for graphql development and testing.
Could you provide a couple of short getting started examples in your docs ?

I know my way around in the cloud dashboard and getting to know graphql using the dashboard but the jump to using it in fauna-dev means figuring out how to use the fauna-shell to set up a database, keys and so on as well as using the import endpoint.

A short getting started would really accelerate that learning.

Hi,

Welcome to the Fauna forums! We’re glad to have you join us.

Have you seen the GraphQL quickstart section of our docs? I think it contains exactly what you’re looking for.

Between The GraphQL docs and the fauna-dev docs, everything is indeed there. For example which ports to use for GraphQL (from fauna-dev) and also how to POST a schema to them (gql API reference).

But there isn’t a straight walkthrough of how to import a schema and get going with Fauna Dev. The quickstart is focused on using the dashboard, which is the easiest way to do it, it is a “Quickstart” after all :slightly_smiling_face:. But @gearoid is trying to get started with the Docker image. In that case I agree a walkthrough to bring it all together could be valuable.
