GraphQL is not getting exposed on a different endpoint

[sharmmoh1983]

I have tried using

graphql:
servlet:
mapping: /test
enabled: true
corsEnabled: true

GraphQL is not getting exposed on a different endpoint
I did not see any which way where /graphql van be exposed to some other point
Also /graphql is giving 400 bad request, it is only expecting query parameters

Only /graphiql is working which is a html page

How can we expose /graphql or any user defined url as as endpoint with post body?

Just tested again and it does work for me now. Think I forgot to save it or something in the previous test. You only need this part btw:

graphql:
  servlet:
    mapping: /test

Seems to be something with your local config.

@oliemansm
What is the local config? I have added the same in application.properties file but nothing happening
If possible can you share your configuration

[sharmmoh1983]

It worked for me when giving configurtion

graphql.servlet.mapping=/test

But there is one more issue , I can't use /graphql or /test with POST body, it gives 400 error code
it is only taking query parameters

[oliemansm]

Sounds like you added yaml style configuration in your properties file before then.

GraphiQL uses POST as well, so it does accept it. Could be a problem with your model or schema. In that case there should be a stack trace. Why don't you start with the working example example-graphql-tools and work from there. Current version is stable and functioning.

@oliemansm
I am talking about /graphql and not /graphiql . For real use case I will be exposing /graphql and not
/graphiql which is just a UI and can't be shared with consumers in the form of API.
Also example-graphql-tools also follow the same lines

[oliemansm]

GraphiQL sends POST requests to /graphql. Confirming that it accepts POST requests.

[sharmmoh1983]

@oliemansm
I beg to differ /graphql accepts query parameter

Please find the following snapshot

Same is mentioned in oembedler/graphql-spring-boot

GraphQL will first look for each parameter in the URL's query-string:
/graphql?query=query+getUser($id:ID){user(id:$id){name}}&variables={"id":"4"}

[oliemansm]

Well yes, it also accepts GET parameters. That's not the problem you reported though. You reported that it doesn't accept POST requests.

[sharmmoh1983]

@oliemansm
Yes you can see from the above snapshot same POST request not working..
Also I captured the source code of graphql UI

If you see the snapshot ,there is proper JSON message sent which we never mentioned in GraphQL UI

[oliemansm]

Set graphiql.endpoint=/test as well. Don't know why, but for some reason it currently needs to be set separately.

[sharmmoh1983]

@oliemansm
But still the question remains the same , how to send the POST data to make it form ?

[oliemansm]

Look at all the settings of a successful GraphiQL post and copy that behavior. Investigate online for example at https://graphql.org/learn/. You're basically asking general GraphQL questions now for which there a lot of resources readily available online.

@oliemansm
Thanks for your support

I have got my answer

Following POST body works fine

POST
{"query": "{ findAllBooks { id } } "}

So there is some tweaking happening from grqphqlUI to graphql endpoint

[lazarevd]

the same problem. Cannot set endpoint in application.properties.
Tried
graphql.servlet.mapping=/test

		<dependency>
			<groupId>com.graphql-java</groupId>
			<artifactId>graphql-java-spring-boot-starter-webmvc</artifactId>
			<version>2019-06-24T11-47-27-31ab4f9</version>
		</dependency>

Nothing changes, endpoint still available at http://localhost:8080/graphql
