@elijaholmos How can I support that this MR is accepted and merged? We also see this warning regularly and would like to fix it.

@twestendorff, sorry, I am not a maintainer of this repository, only a first-time contributor. One of the team members would need to approve & merge this PR. Sadly, it has been over a year without any activity, so I am not optimistic

Coming here after doing some JS type trickery to make @nestjs/apollo use the embedded studio landing page plugin. The Playground plugin has been EOL since 2022 and while I'm not super happy about all the upsells in the embedded studio page it's actually a really good experience for local dev.

Can confirm it works as a drop-in replacements to playground

Here's my current workaround, in case this doesn't get merged:

import { ConfigService } from '@nestjs/config';
import { GraphQLModule } from '@nestjs/graphql';

import { ApolloDriver, ApolloDriverConfig } from '@nestjs/apollo';
import { ApolloServerPluginLandingPageLocalDefault } from '@apollo/server/plugin/landingPage/default';

import { configModule } from '../config';

export const graphqlModule = GraphQLModule.forRootAsync<ApolloDriverConfig>({
    driver: ApolloDriver,
    imports: [configModule],
    inject: [ConfigService],
    async useFactory(configService: ConfigService) {
        const { APP_ENV } = configService.get<any>('app');

        const isDev = APP_ENV === 'dev';

        const plugins = [];
        if (isDev) {
            plugins.push(
                ApolloServerPluginLandingPageLocalDefault({
                    footer: false,
                    embed: true
                })
            );
        }

        return {
            playground: 0 as any, // <- this
            plugins
            // ... other options here
        } satisfies ApolloDriverConfig;
    }
});

@elijaholmos I saw that but still wanted to offer my help, maybe there is an issue that I don't know why this MR is not accepted/merged.

It's a sad that it's been open for so long. 2022 is already some time ago.

@kamilmysliwiec can you as a maintainer help here?

If someone wants to use Apollo Studio instead, they can register a dedicated plugin. We remain using GrapQL Playground as the default to avoid introducing unnecessary breaking changes - there's really no rush in migrating to the different version (no security issues whatsoever that would force us to do so too)
