How to change default port for nexus-prisma server

[brainafesoh]

Hi guys, please I would like to change the default port (4000) which nexus-prisma uses by default to launch the graphql server. How can I do that?

PORT=5000 nexus dev

or in your app.ts use settings.change to apply a new port.

Thanks @beeplin , I even later found out that I simply needed to set an environment variable PORT=MY_CUSTOM_PORT using dotenv or any other means for this to work.

I got that to work like this:

import { GraphQLServer } from 'graphql-yoga'
import schema from './schema'
import { createContext } from './context'

new GraphQLServer({
  schema,
  context: createContext,
}).start({ port: process.env.SERVER_PORT }, () =>
  console.log(
    `🚀 Server ready at: http://localhost:${process.env.SERVER_PORT}`,
  ),
)

You can replace process.env.SERVER_PORT for the port number you want, or set the environment variable SERVER_PORT to the value you want.

Nice, but I think nexus' new framework here, completely erases the need for graphql-yoga

Thank you, that is useful information, I didn't know that :-)
