Does graphql-ws support custom (non-graphql) message types?

[mikecann]

Suppose I want to send a custom message to the server and receive a custom message back without going through GraphQL queries / mutations / subscriptions -> resolvers , is that possible?

The use case is I have a game that is mostly asynchronous and uses GraphQL queries / mutations and subscriptions, but we are thinking about adding some realtime features and want to re-use the existing graphql-ws socket for the communication but use a custom message protocol.

No. Invalid messages result in immediate connection termination.

I recommend reserving a separate WS connection for any non-GraphQL activities.

Okay thanks.
