Graphiql playground in a .Net Framework Web API

Question

How do we implement a Graphql Playground in ASP.NET Framework Web Application? I was able to query using Postman's new GraphQL POST and it is working as expected. But I was not able to host the graphiql playground using HotChocolate's AspNet Classic GraphiQL nuget.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/HotChocolate.AspNetClassic.GraphiQL/

It would be really helpful if anyone can provide a code snippet or documentation specific to ASP.NET Framework.

Answer 1

All you have to do is add it to your startup.cs file:

 //Graph QL add to pipeline and use schemas
 // app.UseWebSockets()
    app.UseGraphQL("/graphql")
       .UsePlayground();

You can also have it up automatically if you wanted to. Every time you hit debug, it will open the playground if you set the url in your project properties
