Is It possible something like graphql endpoints (ref)?

...
let main args =
    webHost args {
        endpoints [ 
            gql query "people" ( blablabla )
            gql mutation "people" ( blablabla )
        ]
    }
    0

Maybe I'm wrong. But I think this would be best done as a separate package. The routing mechanism is just a simple abstraction on top of endpoint routing, so if that supports graphql then we can try and make this work in the main package.

[adelarsq]

Exactly. Just thinking a way that would be less verbose. At moment with POST endpoints it's already possible to support query and mutations.

[pimbrouwers]

Ok cool. Can you share snippet(s) of code you have already used to make this work?

[adelarsq]

@pimbrouwers Yes. I will take some time next weekend and create a sample project

@pimbrouwers Sorry, I forgot about this. So much work to do 🥵
When it calms down a little I will take a look. At moment I use hotchocolate, but I think that can be easier.

Any thoughts on upgrading to the new WebApplicationBuilder & IHostBuilder? not a huge change but would sacrifice < 6.0 support. Not sure how important that is to Falco.

I have a deprecation warning from Serilog.AspNetcore This construct is deprecated. Prefer UseSerilog() on IHostBuilder. I'm sure others will start running into things that want the new builder too.

The builder is generally pretty easy to extend & use, not sure it needs to be marketed as Falco centric; not a request, just have thoughts bubbling on what 'extensions' could look like I was actually just about to use it for a web host with health checks but not Falco features.

Happy to report this change has been made!
