Configuring Content Services GraphQL
The Content Services GraphQL API provides a schema and an easy-to-understand query language system that simplifies application development for your Content Platform Engine. The API schema definition of types and fields matches Content Engine Java™ API object model closely, with necessary and desirable extensions for natural GraphQL developer consumption.
About this task
Use the ecm_configuration.graphql section of the custom YAML to provide values
for the configuration of the Content Services GraphQL API. You provide details for configuration
settings that you have already created, like the names of your persistent volume claims. You also
provide names for pieces of your Content Services GraphQL environment, and tuning decisions for your
runtime environment.
The section includes a parameter for enabling the GraphiQL development interface. Note the following consideration for including GraphiQL in your environment:
- If you are deploying the GraphQL container as part of a test or development environment and you
want to use GraphiQL with the API, set the
enable_graph_iqlparameter to true. - If you are deploying the GraphQL container as part of a production environment, it is
recommended to set the
enable_graph_iqlparameter to false.
