Add custom header support to GraphiQL

[MythicManiac]

Related issue: graphql/graphiql#500

GraphiQL by default does not implement a way to pass custom request headers, which are still fairly commonly used for example by authentication middleware. It would be nice if graphene-django's built-in GraphiQL view had support for doing authenticated requests with custom HTTP headers.

Yes, without being able to customize the headers, it's not possible to test JWT authentication

This seems like a good enhancement. If anyone wants to contribute a PR for this that would be very helpful.

This is graphene-django repository. I'm not sure why would you want to use this tool without Django.

@shaozi sorry to bring this up almost a year later. Where can this be done for graphene/flask?

You can download the latest graphiql and make it a template (almost without any changes), then pass it to the app:

GraphQLView.as_view("graphql", schema=schema, graphiql=True,
                                         graphiql_version='1.0.5',
                                         graphiql_template=template,
                                         graphiql_html_title='Graphql-Dev')
