How to add subscription using websocket using Apollo server with SQL Server database?

Question

I am using Apollo client to build a graphql server which has query, subscription and mutation.

I have successfully added query by referring to this document: https://levelup.gitconnected.com/b-crud-operations-with-graphql-apollo-server-sequelize-auto-b-711da1803017

When I open the http link, it takes me to the Apollo sandbox. I am able to query here. In settings of this server there is a websocket link. When I use this websocket link in my react app, by using urql and GraphQLWsLink, it shows failed to connect to websocket.

I have configured websocket in my server code like this:

const {createServer} = require('http');
const {ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer} = require('apollo-server-core');
const {ApolloServerPluginLandingPageLocalDefault} = require('apollo-server-core');
const {makeExecutableSchema} = require('@graphql-tools/schema');
const {WebSocketServer} = require('ws');
const {useServer} = require('graphql-ws/lib/use/ws');

const { ApolloServer,gql } = require('apollo-server');
var http = require("http");

const fs = require('fs');
const resolvers = require('./graphql/resolvers');
const typeDefs = gql(fs.readFileSync('./graphql/typeDefs.graphql',{encoding:'utf-8'}));

console.log("Resolvers", resolvers)

const app = new ApolloServer({typeDefs,resolvers });

const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers });
// ...

const httpServer = createServer(app);

// Creating the WebSocket server
const wsServer = new WebSocketServer({
   server: httpServer,
   path: '/graphql',
 });

 const serverCleanup = useServer({ schema }, wsServer);

 const server = new ApolloServer({
   schema,
   csrfPrevention: true,
   cache: "bounded",
   plugins: [
     // Proper shutdown for the HTTP server.
     ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer({ httpServer }),

     // Proper shutdown for the WebSocket server.
     {
       async serverWillStart() {
         return {
           async drainServer() {
             await serverCleanup.dispose();
           },
         };
       },
     },
     ApolloServerPluginLandingPageLocalDefault({ embed: true }),
   ],
 });

server.listen(5000).then(({ url }) => { 
   console.log("Server ready at " +   url );     
   });

The client side(react) code is as follows:

const serverURL = "http://127.0.0.1:5000/graphql";
const wsClient = new GraphQLWsLink(createClient({
  url: 'ws://127.0.0.1:5000/graphql',
}));

const client = createClient({
      url: senseopsHTTPServerURL,
      exchanges: [
        ...defaultExchanges,
        subscriptionExchange({
          forwardSubscription: (operation) => ({
            subscribe: (sink) => ({
              unsubscribe: wsClient.subscribe(operation, sink),
            }),
          }),
        }),
      ],
    });

I am using this client in my context provider to get the data. It shows "Failed to connect to websocket". How do I fix this?

hello, If the text error is 'failed to connect', is the server up ? Usually, the failed to connect means that the server is not running. Run the server by the command 'node server.js' — user1587368

This my code for initialization of Graphql on ws.

// Importation des modules nécessaires
const WebSocket = require("ws");
const express = require('express');
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server-express');
const { createServer } = require('http');
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('@graphql-tools/schema');
// const { useServer } = require('@graphql-tools/lib/use/ws');
const { WebSocketServer } = require('ws');

// Schéma GraphQL
const typeDefs = gql`
    type Chat {
        id: ID!
        clientName: String
        messagePreview: String
        timestamp: String
    }
    type Query{
        pendingChats:[Chat]
    }
`;

// Résolveurs GraphQL
const resolvers = {
 Query: {
 hello: () => 'Bonjour, GraphQL et WebSocket!',
 },
 Query: {
  pendingChats: async () => {
    // Simulation de la base de données
    return [ 
         { id: '1', clientName: 'Alice', messagePreview: 'Bonjour...', timestamp: '2024-12-25T10:00:00Z' },
         { id: '2', clientName: 'Bob', messagePreview: 'Avez-vous reçu...', timestamp: '2024-12-25T09:45:00Z' }
     ];
    }
 }
};

// Créer le schéma GraphQL
const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers });

// Initialisation d'Express
const app = express();

// Middleware Express (routes classiques)
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
 res.send('Bienvenue sur le serveur combiné Apollo + WebSocket!');
});
app.get('/health', (req, res) => {
    res.json({ status: 'ok' });
});

// Créer le serveur HTTP
const httpServer = createServer(app);

// Configurer Apollo Server
const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({
 schema,
 plugins: [
 {
  async serverWillStart() {
  return {
   async drainServer() {
   await wsServer.dispose();
   },
  };
  },
 },
 ],
});

// Configurer Apollo Server avec Express
(async () => {
 await apolloServer.start();
 apolloServer.applyMiddleware({ app });

 // Créer un serveur WebSocket
 const wsServer = new WebSocketServer({
 server: httpServer,
 path: '/graphql',
 });

// Liste des connexions actives
const clients = new Set();

// Gestion des connexions WebSocket
wsServer.on("connection", (ws) => {
 console.log("Un client est connecté !");
 clients.add(ws);

 // Événement : réception d'un message
 ws.on("message", (message) => {
 console.log(`Message reçu : \${message}`);

 // Diffuser le message à tous les clients
 for (const client of clients) {
  if (client !== ws && client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
  client.send(message);
  }
 }
 });

 // Événement : déconnexion
 ws.on("close", () => {
 console.log("Un client s'est déconnecté.");
 clients.delete(ws);
 });

 // Envoyer un message de bienvenue au client
 ws.send("Bienvenue sur le tchat !");
});

 // Intégrer GraphQL WebSocket Server
 //useServer({ schema }, wsServer);

 // Démarrer le serveur HTTP
 const PORT = 3000;
 httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
 console.log(`Serveur HTTP démarré sur http://localhost:\${PORT}`);
 console.log(`Apollo Server disponible sur http://localhost:\${PORT}/graphql`);
 console.log(`WebSocket Server démarré sur ws://localhost:\${PORT}/graphql`);
 });
})();
