GraphQL Kotlin Ktor starter project
Ktor is an asynchronous framework for creating microservices, web applications, and more.
Running locally
Build the application by running the following from examples root directory:
# build example
./gradlew ktor-server:build
NOTE: in order to ensure you use the right version of Gradle we highly recommend that you use the provided wrapper scripts
Start the server by running Application.kt directly from your IDE. (Make sure that your Kotlin Compiler jvm target is
1.8 or greater.)
Alternatively, you can start the server using Gradle.
cd /path/to/ktor-graphql-template
./gradlew ktor-server:run
Once the app has started you can:
- send GraphQL requests by opening the Playground endpoint at http://localhost:8080/playground
- send GraphQL requests directly to the endpoint at http://localhost:8080/graphql
- explore and interact with the example schema by opening the Playground IDE endpoint
at http://localhost:8080/playground
