Graphiql integration

Description

So far I'm quite happy with graphql-sse, it's doing the job both frontend and backend side.

But there is one thing that annoy me a bit for the dev experience, the fact that is doesn't look compatible with graphiql by default. For subscriptions, they support graphql-ws or apollo web socket, they support sse subscriptions but sadly it doesn't work with graphql-sse

The way they do SSE queries seem to be not recognized by the server (as GET with query parameter), and I get 404 error Stream not found

I found some gist, how to modify graphiql html page to add graphql-sse client, but it's not always available (for example graphql-helix only expose a limited set of configurations).

Would it be possible server side, at the createHandler level, to parse this query format and modify the request to make it compatible with what graphql-sse expect ?

Sorry for the late reply. 😅

graphql-helix does not implement graphql-sse's GraphQL over SSE Protocol - is therefore not compatible.

The Gist you referenced should work with graphql-sse powered servers without any problems! I don't quite understand what do you mean by: "Would it be possible server side, at the createHandler level, to parse this query format and modify the request to make it compatible with what graphql-sse expect ?". Can please make me a repro so that I can understand what's happening?
