Getting Started

Learn the basics of ComposeDB by quickly building a “Hello World” social application.

But First - ComposeDB API Sandbox

Before moving on to setting up your local environment, creating composites, and querying your local node, test your GraphQL query skill by executing requests to a live ComposeDB endpoint directly from your browser!

ComposeDB Sandbox

Follow the steps below to get started building a social application on ComposeDB in your local environment.

📄️ 1. Set up your environment

The first step to build with ComposeDB is setting up your development environment. Currently, there are two ways of how you can configure your working environment:

📄️ 2. Create your composite

Create your composite to serve as your graph database schema. In this guide, we will create your first composite.

📄️ 3. Interact with data

The final step of getting started with ComposeDB is interacting with your data using GraphQL. In this guide you will learn how to perform GraphQL queries and mutations using your composite.

📄️ 4. Next Steps

After learning the foundations of ComposeDB with the Getting Started guide, you are now ready to start integrating ComposeDB into your application and run in production.
