platform-examples

Standalone, runnable example applications for the ChilliCream platform products (currently Mocha). Examples live here instead of in the main graphql-platform repository so they can be built, run, and versioned independently of the product source and its release cadence.

Layout

examples/<Product>/<Name>/

Each product gets one top-level folder under examples/, and each example gets its own folder inside it. For example:

examples/Mocha/Demo/
examples/Mocha/PostgresTransport/
examples/Mocha/AotExample/
examples/Mocha/ExceptionPolicies/
examples/Architecture/Bookshop/

examples/Architecture/ contains cross-product architecture examples. Bookshop demonstrates clean architecture and DDD with HotChocolate, GreenDonut, Mocha.Mediator, and EF Core.

Solution files

Each product has its own solution file at examples/<Product>/<Product>.Examples.slnx (for example examples/Mocha/Mocha.Examples.slnx), rather than a single root solution. Products are independent from a build and dependency standpoint, and a per-product solution keeps IDE load times and build scope proportional to the product you are actually working on as the repository grows to cover more products.

Repo conventions

• Central package management: package versions are pinned in the root Directory.Packages.props (ManagePackageVersionsCentrally=true). Add new package versions there, not in individual project files.
• Shared build settings: Directory.Build.props sets LangVersion, Nullable, and ImplicitUsings consistently with the graphql-platform conventions.
• SDK version: global.json pins the .NET SDK to the same version used by graphql-platform, so examples build against the same toolchain as the products they demonstrate.
