Standalone App

GraphQL Explorer also comes packaged as a standalone app. The app offers a generic way to connect to any graphql service, with the ability to set headers (eg Authorization). To see the standalone app in action directly on this documentation site, click here

Install#

yarn add graphql-explorer-html

There are several ways to serve the app. Here are some suggestions.

Serving the directory#

This is quick and easy way to serve the app. simply serve the directory node_modules/graphql-explorer-html/build. For example, using http-server:

npx http-server node_modules/graphql-explorer-html/build

Importing the javascript#

simply importing the package will run the application.

import 'graphql-explorer-html';

This will require, as an "entry point", that there is an HTML tag with id app to mount the app from.
