How to add Graghql to Parse server example

Parse Server 📡
#1

Hi, I am using this example right now

However, when I tried to add Graghql support to index.js, it did not work.

The code I added to index.js is similar to this:
const express = require(‘express’);
const { default: ParseServer, ParseGraphQLServer } = require(‘parse-server’);

const app = express();

const parseServer = new ParseServer({
  databaseURI: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test',
  appId: 'APPLICATION_ID',
  masterKey: 'MASTER_KEY',
  serverURL: 'http://localhost:1337/parse',
  publicServerURL: 'http://localhost:1337/parse'
});

const parseGraphQLServer = new ParseGraphQLServer(
  parseServer,
  {
    graphQLPath: '/graphql',
    playgroundPath: '/playground'
  }
);

app.use('/parse', parseServer.app); // (Optional) Mounts the REST API
parseGraphQLServer.applyGraphQL(app); // Mounts the GraphQL API
parseGraphQLServer.applyPlayground(app); // (Optional) Mounts the GraphQL Playground - do NOT use in Production

app.listen(1337, function() {
  console.log('REST API running on http://localhost:1337/parse');
  console.log('GraphQL API running on http://localhost:1337/graphql');
  console.log('GraphQL Playground running on http://localhost:1337/playground');
});

But it does not work. Could anyone create a working Graghql example based on the above example link? Thanks

Also, I see that one can start parse server this way:
$ parse-server --appId APPLICATION_ID --masterKey MASTER_KEY --databaseURI mongodb://localhost/test --publicServerURL http://localhost:1337/parse --mountGraphQL --mountPlayground

But, when you use “npm start” to start the parse server example, how do I supply --mountGraphQL --mountPlayground parameters?

The code looks in the right direction. Why do you say it does not work? What is the problem that you are facing?

#4

I refactored my code. Now it is working. Thanks

#5

I am wondering that: are you some good examples of apps that use Graghql on top of the Parse server? Could someone point out some examples? Thanks

#6

Do you mean demo examples for templates? Or do you want to know real production apps using the GraphQL API?

I want to see demo examples for templates, but I also want to see real production apps if they are open-source. Do you know any? Thanks
