How to Disable GraphQL Playground in Your Angular Application

GraphQL Playground is a powerful tool that provides an interactive web interface for testing and querying GraphQL APIs. However, there may be situations where you want to disable it for security reasons or to prevent access in production environments. In this guide, we will explore how to effectively disable GraphQL Playground in your Angular application configured with GraphQL, NestJS, and TypeGraphQL.

Understanding the Need to Disable GraphQL Playground
