Hi,

How to require local utilities in my acpScript properly? I want to separate functions in my acpScript of my plugin into several JS files. My acpScipt is located at path public/lib/admin/index.js with codes:

'use strict';

/* globals socket, define, require */

define(
  'admin/plugins/myPlugin',
  [ 'myAdminUtilities' ],
  function (util) {
    const Admin = {};

    Admin.init = function () {
      socket.emit(
            'plugins.myPlugin.getData',
            myAdminUtilities.handleResponse,
      );
    };

    return Admin;
  }
);

Then, file myAdminUtilities is located at path public/lib/admin/utils.js with codes:

define('admin/plugins/myAdminUtilities', function () {
  const adminUtils = {};
  adminUtils.handleResponse = function (error, data) {
    // process data ...
  };

  return adminUtils;
});

Also, I have modified my plugin.json with following:

{
        ...

        "modules": {
		"myAdminUtilities": "public/lib/admin/utils.js"
	},

        ...
}

But, I get get admin/plugins/myAdminUtilities (404 Not found) every time I enter my plugin ACP page. What's the proper way to reach my goal?

@julian thanks for your reply.

The reason why I inject Apollo as a middleware is because of the server integrate document on Apollo website shows that we can use the apollo-server-express package to integrate GraphQL with existing Express server by adding following code:

server.applyMiddleware({ app }); // app is from an existing express app

Does router will be the express app to be passed to plugins? Because I solved this problem by passing router into .applyMiddleware() method as following changes:

const router = params.router;

apolloServer.applyMiddleware({
    app: router,
    path: '/api/mygraphql',
});

Now, the GraphQL works fine on my NodeBB server ! Hope this can help someone who run into the same problem like me. Although it looks like GraphQL is not popular in NodeBB community .

Hi,

I am trying to add a route into NodeBB to serve GraphQL API.
After doing some research on Google, I find a popular package named Apollo GraphQL, which has a document to show how to integrate Apollo GraphQL server with existing Express server, can help me to do my job.

Then, I tried to create a plugin and put the example code of graphql with a route path:/mygraphql into my library.js. But, the nodebb keep returning 404 Not found. Did I do anything wrong?

Here is what my library.js looks like:

const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');

const books = [
	{
		title: 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets',
		author: 'J.K. Rowling',
	},
	{
		title: 'Jurassic Park',
		author: 'Michael Crichton',
	},
];

const typeDefs = gql`
  type Book {
    title: String
    author: String
  }

  type Query {
    books: [Book]
  }
`;

const resolvers = {
	Query: {
		books: () => books,
	},
};

const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({
	typeDefs,
	resolvers,
});


const plugin = {};

plugin.init = function (params, callback) {
	const app = params.app;

	apolloServer.applyMiddleware({
		app,
		path: '/api/mygraphql',
	});

	callback();
};

module.exports = plugin;

Thanks!
