Ktor Server Playground Default Route

[sangeetds]

Hello!

I was using the graphql-kotlin-spring-server with Ktor. I saw in the ktor example that the default route for the playground was being handled manually, and a custom HTML page was being returned. But I observed that the spring server had few default routes already pre-configured. I wanted to ask whether there are simpler ways to generate the default routes in Ktor. Do I need to manually handle default endpoints? If yes, I would like to know if there's some documentation from where I can get more info about setting them up.

Hello 👋
The reason for the differences between Spring and Ktor server examples is that we publish a Spring specific auto-configuration library that handles some of the common logic whereas Ktor example relies on a generic server logic. So unfortunately yes, you have to manually provide the logic for any of the endpoints in your Ktor app (as seen in the example app).

If you would like to publish your own graphql-kotlin-ktor-server, which includes theses files and other features, we would be happy to link to it in our docs

Hi @smyrick. Sounds like an exciting prospect. I will surely try if I get time. Thanks a lot!
