Current behavior

Could you guys prove a basic setup documentation for NestJS + Angular universal + GraphQL.

Problem is that controller route paths set before GraphQL ones

So far the only solution I might think off is to bootstrap several separate NestFactoryStatic instances and attach them to express instance in serial order in main.ts. But testing becomes very painful then...

Expected behavior

Setup GraphQL routes before angular universal * <- capture all

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Imagine routes:

/api/graphql_user_module /api/graphql_admin_module /api/graphql_login_module *.* angular universal

Environment

Nest version: 5.3.7


For Tooling issues:
- Node version: 10  
- Platform:  
Mac

@nestjs/ng-universal has a property (renderPath) which allows you override * (see here https://github.com/nestjs/ng-universal) into your path (e.g. wildcard with /graphql excluded).

pathregexp doesn't allow look behind regEx . I can't find the right way to exclude /graphql

@danil-z no javascript engine supports look behind you'd have to go for a C++ binding before that would be possible.

And? I know that javascript doesn't support it. I'm saying I can't imagine how rootStaticPath might solve path initialization issue?!

could you guys provide an example of wildcard with /graphql excluded ???

[kamilmysliwiec]

See here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31151498/run-express-middleware-for-all-routes-except-that-are-starting-with-api

You can use a regular expression to exclude /graphql path . Simply pass it as a renderPath of AngularUniversalModule https://github.com/nestjs/ng-universal/
