While using express middleware after #139
const playground = require('graphql-playground/middleware').express
app.use('/playground', playground({ endpointUrl: '/graphql' }))
Playground will issue graphql queries to /playground instead of /graphql.
Playground is issuing the following request for the schema
curl 'http://localhost:8080/playground'

Should be curl 'http://localhost:8080/graphql'
The UI reports the following error
SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 1

at <anonymous>

seeing this as well with hapi middleware using v1.0.3
config:
{
register: playground,
options: {
path: '/playground',
endpointUrl: '/graphql',
},
},

Sorry for the confusion, we updated the endpoint to endpoint. Can you check if it's fixed when renaming the option to endpoint?
@timsuchanek yeah using endpoint didn't work
app.use('/playground', playground({ endpoint: '/graphql' }))
Still posting to /playground
It seems the problem is that the endpoint prop isn't getting passed down to the <App> component. I think we just need to use the <Route>'s render prop and pass down the endpoint prop to fix this. Not sure if there's an easy way for me to test this since the build is hosted on a CDN.

With the React Developer Tools extension I was able to edit the endpoint prop and it works temporarily.
After a few fixes I was able to run this in development mode locally. Then I modified public/index.html so that it provided an endpoint option to GraphQLPlayground.init. I've made the changes I mentioned above and now it points to the custom endpoint.
This is disappointing. I was hoping to try out GraphQL Playground today and replace GraphiQL. Sounds like Playground is still unstable and I should wait a little longer.
Playground looks great at https://www.graphqlbin.com! Keep up the awesome work. Hopefully a usable build will be released soon! 馃巻
For reference, I am also using:
const app = express();
app.use("/playground", playground({ endpoint: "/graphql" }));
with
"graphql-playground": "1.0.4",
Edit: This is what the generated script within the page looks like:

It's now fixed in 1.0.8
awesome works for me now thanks!
