Question: which GraphQL Playground to use?

[raarts]

Hi, I am using NestJS, and was following the tutorial there, they 'strongly recommend graphql-ws', but I found that the Apollo Payground (default for nestjs) doesn't support the new protocol yet. Is there an alternative playground that does?

GraphQL Playground as of right now does not support graphql-ws. There's an issue open (graphql/graphql-playground#1291) and even a PR for supporting both WS subprotocols (graphql-ws and subscriptions-transport-ws) in parallel (graphql/graphql-playground#1326).

I recommend using GraphiQL instead. Read here about how to use graphql-ws for subscriptions through @graphiql/toolkit.

If you want to use just graphql-ws for all operations (query, mutation and subscription), this Gist might help you out.
