What is the recommended configuration for using GraphQl with kotlinlang #ktor

What is the recommended configuration for using GraphQl with Ktor 2.0? Some libraries like KGraphQl only support Ktor 1.x. Are there any plans by the Ktor team to offer a GraphQl plugin?

Latest release is 2.0.0-beta-1. I'm just getting started with my project and don't want to use the old version if it's about to be out of date. Will the Expedia library work with 2.0?

While we dont support ktor server out of the box you should be able to follow the ktor example (and yes it should work with v2)

Also, you can watch for this feature request.

I saw this YT post, but it looks pretty sparse. What are the odds of the feature request getting traction? From a user perspective it would be really nice to get graphql as part of the setup wizard.

The only thing I can say is that work on this feature request may be started only after the release of Ktor 2.0.0.

@Nathan Kleinschmidt In case you want to use KGraphql with Ktor 2.0, you could provide your own (updated) plugin. See https://github.com/ESchouten/CleanArchitecture/blob/main/infrastructure/ktor/src/main/kotlin/ktor/plugins/KGraphql.kt

Still far from ideal to use a library where the maintainer has gone AWOL, but I guess this could be a temporary solution until Ktor hopefully supports Graphql. Sadly Graphql-kotlin did not suit my needs

Thank you for that @ESchouten . I've been following your repo and been meaning to check out the 2.0 update.
