Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

This is a plugin for graphql-compose, which derives GraphQLType from your mongoose model. Also derives bunch of internal GraphQL Types. Provide all CRUD resolvers, including graphql connection, also provided basic search via operators ($lt, $gt and so on).

Release Notes for v9.0.0 contains a lot of improvements. It's strongly recommended for reading before upgrading from v8.

Installation

npm install graphql graphql-compose mongoose graphql-compose-mongoose-extended --save

Modules graphql, graphql-compose, mongoose are in peerDependencies, so should be installed explicitly in your app. They have global objects and should not have ability to be installed as submodule.

Intro video

Viktor Kjartansson created a quite solid intro for graphql-compose-mongoose-extended in comparison with graphql-tools:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXcY-OoGnQ8 (23 mins)

Example

Live demo: https://graphql-compose.herokuapp.com/

Source code: https://github.com/graphql-compose/graphql-compose-examples

Small explanation for variables naming:

  • UserSchema - this is a mongoose schema
  • User - this is a mongoose model
  • UserTC - this is a ObjectTypeComposer instance for User. ObjectTypeComposer has GraphQLObjectType inside, available via method UserTC.getType().
  • Here and in all other places of code variables suffix ...TC means that this is ObjectTypeComposer instance, ...ITC - InputTypeComposer, ...ETC - EnumTypeComposer.
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import { composeMongoose } from 'graphql-compose-mongoose-extended';
import { schemaComposer } from 'graphql-compose';

// STEP 1: DEFINE MONGOOSE SCHEMA AND MODEL
const LanguagesSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  language: String,
  skill: {
    type: String,
    enum: ['basic', 'fluent', 'native'],
  },
});

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String, // standard types
  age: {
    type: Number,
    index: true,
  },
  ln: {
    type: [LanguagesSchema], // you may include other schemas (here included as array of embedded documents)
    default: [],
    alias: 'languages', // in schema `ln` will be named as `languages`
  },
  contacts: { // another mongoose way for providing embedded documents
    email: String,
    phones: [String], // array of strings
  },
  gender: { // enum field with values
    type: String,
    enum: ['male', 'female'],
  },
  someMixed: {
    type: mongoose.Schema.Types.Mixed,
    description: 'Can be any mixed type, that will be treated as JSON GraphQL Scalar Type',
  },
});
const User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

// STEP 2: CONVERT MONGOOSE MODEL TO GraphQL PIECES
const customizationOptions = {}; // left it empty for simplicity, described below
const UserTC = composeMongoose(User, customizationOptions);

// STEP 3: ADD NEEDED CRUD USER OPERATIONS TO THE GraphQL SCHEMA
// via graphql-compose it will be much much easier, with less typing
schemaComposer.Query.addFields({
  userById: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findById(),
  userByIds: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findByIds(),
  userOne: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findOne(),
  userMany: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findMany(),
  userDataLoader: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.dataLoader(),
  userDataLoaderMany: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.dataLoaderMany(),
  userByIdLean: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findById({ lean: true }),
  userByIdsLean: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findByIds({ lean: true }),
  userOneLean: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findOne({ lean: true }),
  userManyLean: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findMany({ lean: true }),
  userDataLoaderLean: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.dataLoader({ lean: true }),
  userDataLoaderManyLean: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.dataLoaderMany({ lean: true }),
  userCount: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.count(),
  userConnection: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.connection(),
  userPagination: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.pagination(),
});

schemaComposer.Mutation.addFields({
  userCreateOne: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.createOne(),
  userCreateMany: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.createMany(),
  userUpdateById: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.updateById(),
  userUpdateOne: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.updateOne(),
  userUpdateMany: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.updateMany(),
  userRemoveById: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.removeById(),
  userRemoveOne: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.removeOne(),
  userRemoveMany: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.removeMany(),
});

// STEP 4: BUILD GraphQL SCHEMA OBJECT
const schema = schemaComposer.buildSchema();
export default schema;

// STEP 5: DEMO USE OF GraphQL SCHEMA OBJECT
// Just a demo, normally you'd pass schema object to server such as Apollo server.
import { graphql } from 'graphql';

(async () => {
  await mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/test');
  await mongoose.connection.dropDatabase();

  await User.create({ name: 'alice', age: 29, gender: 'female' });
  await User.create({ name: 'maria', age: 31, gender: 'female' });
  const bob = await User.create({ name: 'bob', age: 30, gender: 'male' });

  const response1 = await graphql({
    schema,
    source: 'query { userMany { _id name } }',
  });
  console.dir(response1, { depth: 5 });

  const response2 = await graphql({
    schema,
    source: 'query($id: MongoID!) { userById(_id: $id) { _id name } }',
    variableValues: { id: bob._id },
  });
  console.dir(response2, { depth: 5 });

  const response3 = await graphql({
    schema,
    source: 'mutation($id: MongoID!, $name: String) { userUpdateOne(filter: {_id: $id}, record: { name: $name }) { record { _id name } } }',
    variableValues: { id: bob._id, name: 'bill' },
  });
  console.dir(response3, { depth: 5 });

  mongoose.disconnect();
})();

That's all! You think that is to much code? I don't think so, because by default internally was created about 55 graphql types (for input, sorting, filtering). So you will need much much more lines of code to implement all these CRUD operations by hands.

Working with Mongoose Collection Level Discriminators

Variable Namings

  • ...DTC - Suffix for a DiscriminatorTypeComposer instance, which is also an instance of ObjectTypeComposer. All fields and Relations manipulations on this instance affects all registered discriminators and the Discriminator Interface.
  import mongoose from 'mongoose';
  import { schemaComposer } from 'graphql-compose';
  import { composeMongooseDiscriminators } from 'graphql-compose-mongoose';

  // pick a discriminatorKey
  const DKey = 'type';

  const enumCharacterType = {
    PERSON: 'Person',
    DROID: 'Droid',
  };

  // DEFINE BASE SCHEMA
  const CharacterSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    // _id: field...
    type: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      enum: (Object.keys(enumCharacterType): Array<string>),
      description: 'Character type Droid or Person',
    },

    name: String,
    height: Number,
    mass: Number,
    films: [String],
  });

  // DEFINE DISCRIMINATOR SCHEMAS
  const DroidSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    makeDate: String,
    primaryFunction: [String],
  });

  const PersonSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    gender: String,
    hairColor: String,
    starships: [String],
  });

  // set discriminator Key
  CharacterSchema.set('discriminatorKey', DKey);

  // create base Model
  const CharacterModel = mongoose.model('Character', CharacterSchema);

  // create mongoose discriminator models
  const DroidModel = CharacterModel.discriminator(enumCharacterType.DROID, DroidSchema);
  const PersonModel = CharacterModel.discriminator(enumCharacterType.PERSON, PersonSchema);

  // create DiscriminatorTypeComposer
  const baseOptions = { // regular TypeConverterOptions, passed to composeMongoose
    fields: {
      remove: ['friends'],
    }
  }
  const CharacterDTC = composeMongooseDiscriminators(CharacterModel, baseOptions);

  // create Discriminator Types
  const droidTypeConverterOptions = {  // this options will be merged with baseOptions -> customizationsOptions
    fields: {
      remove: ['makeDate'],
    }
  };
  const DroidTC = CharacterDTC.discriminator(DroidModel, droidTypeConverterOptions);
  const PersonTC = CharacterDTC.discriminator(PersonModel);  // baseOptions -> customizationsOptions applied

  // You may now use CharacterDTC to add fields to all Discriminators
  // Use DroidTC, `PersonTC as any other ObjectTypeComposer.
  schemaComposer.Mutation.addFields({
    droidCreate: DroidTC.getResolver('createOne'),
    personCreate: PersonTC.getResolver('createOne'),
  });

  const schema = schemaComposer.buildSchema();

  describe('createOne', () => {
    it('should create child document without specifying DKey', async () => {
      const res = await graphql.graphql({
        schema,
        source: `mutation CreateCharacters {
          droidCreate(record: {name: "Queue XL", modelNumber: 360 }) {
            record {
              __typename
              type
              name
              modelNumber
            }
          }

          personCreate(record: {name: "mernxl", dob: 57275272}) {
            record {
              __typename
              type
              name
              dob
            }
          }
        }`
      );

      expect(res).toEqual({
        data: {
          droidCreate: {
            record: { __typename: 'Droid', type: 'Droid', name: 'Queue XL', modelNumber: 360 },
          },
          personCreate: {
            record: { __typename: 'Person', type: 'Person', name: 'mernxl', dob: 57275272 },
          },
        },
      });
    });
  });

Customization options

composeMongoose customization options

When you converting mongoose model const UserTC = composeMongoose(User, opts: ComposeMongooseOpts); you may tune every piece of future derived types – setup name and description for the main type, remove fields or leave only desired fields.

type ComposeMongooseOpts = {
  /**
   * Which type registry use for generated types.
   * By default is used global default registry.
   */
  schemaComposer?: SchemaComposer<TContext>;
  /**
   * What should be base type name for generated type from mongoose model.
   */
  name?: string;
  /**
   * Provide arbitrary description for generated type.
   */
  description?: string;
  /**
   * You can leave only whitelisted fields in type via this option.
   * Any other fields will be removed.
   */
  onlyFields?: string[];
  /**
   * You can remove some fields from type via this option.
   */
  removeFields?: string[];
  /**
   * You may configure generated InputType
   */
  inputType?: TypeConverterInputTypeOpts;
  /**
   * You can make fields as NonNull if they have default value in mongoose model.
   */
  defaultsAsNonNull?: boolean;
};

This is opts.inputType options for default InputTypeObject which will be provided to all resolvers for filter and input args.

type TypeConverterInputTypeOpts = {
  /**
   * What should be input type name.
   * By default: baseTypeName + 'Input'
   */
  name?: string;
  /**
   * Provide arbitrary description for generated type.
   */
  description?: string;
  /**
   * You can leave only whitelisted fields in type via this option.
   * Any other fields will be removed.
   */
  onlyFields?: string[];
  /**
   * You can remove some fields from type via this option.
   */
  removeFields?: string[];
  /**
   * This option makes provided fieldNames as required
   */
  requiredFields?: string[];
};

Resolvers' customization options

When you are creating resolvers from mongooseResolvers factory, you may provide customizationOptions to it:

UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findMany(opts);

connection(opts?: ConnectionResolverOpts)

type ConnectionResolverOpts<TContext = any> = {
  /** See below **/
  sort?: ConnectionSortMapOpts;
  name?: string;
  defaultLimit?: number | undefined;
  edgeTypeName?: string;
  edgeFields?: ObjectTypeComposerFieldConfigMap<any, TContext>;
  /** See below **/
  countOpts?: CountResolverOpts;
  /** See below **/
  findManyOpts?: FindManyResolverOpts;
}

The countOpts and findManyOpts props would be used to customize the internally created findMany and count resolver factories used by the connection resolver. If not provided the default configuration for each of the resolver factories is assumed.

The sort prop is optional. When provided it is used to customize the sorting behaviour of the connection. When not provided, the sorting configuration is derived from the existing indexes on the model.

Please refer to the documentation of the graphql-compose-connection plugin for more details on the sorting customization parameter.

FAQ

Can I get generated vanilla GraphQL types?

const UserTC = composeMongoose(User);
UserTC.getType(); // returns GraphQLObjectType
UserTC.getInputType(); // returns GraphQLInputObjectType, eg. for args
UserTC.get('languages').getType(); // get GraphQLObjectType for nested field
UserTC.get('fieldWithNesting.subNesting').getType(); // get GraphQL type of deep nested field

How to add custom fields?

UserTC.addFields({
  lonLat: ObjectTypeComposer.create('type LonLat { lon: Float, lat: Float }'),
  notice: 'String', // shorthand definition
  noticeList: { // extended
    type: '[String]', // String, Int, Float, Boolean, ID, Json
    description: 'Array of notices',
    resolve: (source, args, context, info) => 'some value',
  },
  bio: {
    type: GraphQLString,
    description: 'Providing vanilla GraphQL type'
  }
})

How to build nesting/relations?

Suppose you User model has friendsIds field with array of user ids. So let build some relations:

UserTC.addRelation(
  'friends',
  {
    resolver: () => UserTC.mongooseResolvers.dataLoaderMany(),
    prepareArgs: { // resolver `findByIds` has `_ids` arg, let provide value to it
      _ids: (source) => source.friendsIds,
    },
    projection: { friendsIds: 1 }, // point fields in source object, which should be fetched from DB
  }
);
UserTC.addRelation(
  'adultFriendsWithSameGender',
  {
    resolver: () => UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findMany(),
    prepareArgs: { // resolver `findMany` has `filter` arg, we may provide mongoose query to it
      filter: (source) => ({
        _operators : { // Applying criteria on fields which have
                       // operators enabled for them (by default, indexed fields only)
          _id : { in: source.friendsIds },
          age: { gt: 21 }
        },
        gender: source.gender,
      }),
      limit: 10,
    },
    projection: { friendsIds: 1, gender: 1 }, // required fields from source object
  }
);

Reusing the same mongoose Schema in embedded object fields

Suppose you have a common structure you use as embedded object in multiple Schemas. Also suppose you want the structure to have the same GraphQL type across all parent types. (For instance, to allow reuse of fragments for this type) Here are Schemas to demonstrate:

import { Schema } from 'mongoose';

const ImageDataStructure = Schema({
  url: String,
  dimensions : {
    width: Number,
    height: Number
  }
}, { _id: false });

const UserProfile = Schema({
  fullName: String,
  personalImage: ImageDataStructure
});

const Article = Schema({
  title: String,
  heroImage: ImageDataStructure
});

If you want the ImageDataStructure to use the same GraphQL type in both Article and UserProfile you will need create it as a mongoose schema (not a standard javascript object) and to explicitly tell graphql-compose-mongoose-extended the name you want it to have. Otherwise, without the name, it would generate the name according to the first parent this type was embedded in.

Do the following:

import { schemaComposer } from 'graphql-compose'; // get the default schemaComposer or your created schemaComposer
import { convertSchemaToGraphQL } from 'graphql-compose-mongoose-extended';

convertSchemaToGraphQL(ImageDataStructure, 'EmbeddedImage', schemaComposer); // Force this type on this mongoose schema

Before continuing to convert your models to TypeComposers:

import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import { composeMongoose } from 'graphql-compose-mongoose-extended';

const UserProfile = mongoose.model('UserProfile', UserProfile);
const Article = mongoose.model('Article', Article);

const UserProfileTC = composeMongoose(UserProfile);
const ArticleTC = composeMongoose(Article);

Then, you can use queries like this:

query {
  topUser {
    fullName
    personalImage {
      ...fullImageData
    }
  }
  topArticle {
    title
    heroImage {
      ...fullImageData
    }
  }
}
fragment fullImageData on EmbeddedImage {
  url
  dimensions {
    width height
  }
}

Access and modify mongoose doc before save

This library provides some amount of ready resolvers for fetch and update data which was mentioned above. And you can create your own resolver of course. However you can find that add some actions or light modifications of mongoose document directly before save at existing resolvers appears more simple than create new resolver. Some of resolvers accepts before save hook which can be provided in resolver params as param named beforeRecordMutate. This hook allows to have access and modify mongoose document before save. The resolvers which supports this hook are:

  • createOne
  • createMany
  • removeById
  • removeOne
  • updateById
  • updateOne

The prototype of before save hook:

(doc: mixed, rp: ResolverResolveParams) => Promise<*>,

The typical implementation may be like this:

// extend resolve params with hook
rp.beforeRecordMutate = async function(doc, rp) {
  doc.userTouchedAt = new Date();

  const canMakeUpdate  = await performAsyncTask( ...provide data from doc... )
  if (!canMakeUpdate) {
    throw new Error('Forbidden!');
  }

  return doc;
}

You can provide your implementation directly in type composer:

UserTC.wrapResolverResolve('updateById', next => async rp => {

  // extend resolve params with hook
  rp.beforeRecordMutate = async (doc, resolveParams) => { ... };

  return next(rp);
});

or you can create wrappers for example to protect access:

function adminAccess(resolvers) {
  Object.keys(resolvers).forEach((k) => {
    resolvers[k] = resolvers[k].wrapResolve(next => async rp => {

      // extend resolve params with hook
      rp.beforeRecordMutate = async function(doc, rp) { ... }

      return next(rp)
    })
  })
  return resolvers
}

// and wrap the resolvers
schemaComposer.Mutation.addFields({
  createResource: ResourceTC.mongooseResolvers.createOne(),
  createResources: ResourceTC.mongooseResolvers.createMany(),
  ...adminAccess({
    updateResource: ResourceTC.mongooseResolvers.updateById(),
    removeResource: ResourceTC.mongooseResolvers.removeById(),
  }),
});

How can I restrict access to certain fields or documents?

This library allows modifying the query before it is executed using the beforeQuery hook. This lets us prevent certain fields or documents from being read. Here's an example of restricting access to specific fields:

schemaComposer.Query.addFields({
  userOne: UserTC.mongooseResolvers.findOne().wrapResolve((next) => (rp) => {
    const { role } = rp.context;

    rp.beforeQuery = (query: Query<unknown, unknown>) => {
      if (role === 'admin') {
        // Don't change the projection and still allow all fields to be read
      } else if (role === 'moderator') {
        // Only allow the name, age, and gender fields to be read
        query.projection({ name: 1, age: 1, gender: 1 });
      } else if (role === 'public') {
        // Only allow the name field to be read
        query.projection({ name: 1 });
      }
    };

    return next(rp);
  }),
});

Note that fields that are sometimes restricted should not be marked as required in the mongoose schema. Otherwise, when you query them you will get a "Cannot return null for non-nullable field" error because the database query didn't return a value for the field.

You can also use beforeQuery to hide certain documents from the query. Here's an example:

schemaComposer.Query.addFields({
  postMany: PostTC.mongooseResolvers.findMany().wrapResolve((next) => (rp) => {
    const { userId } = rp.context;

    rp.beforeQuery = (query: Query<unknown, unknown>) => {
      // Only allow users to see their own posts
      query.where('authorId', userId);
    };

    return next(rp);
  }),
});

Both of these examples require putting extra data in the resolver context. Here's how to attach context data in Apollo Server:

const server = new ApolloServer({
  schema: schemaComposer.buildSchema(),
  context() {
    // This role should actually come from a JWT or something
    return { role: 'admin' };
  },
});

Other GraphQL servers are likely similar.

How can I push/pop or add/remove values to arrays?

The default resolvers, by design, will replace (overwrite) any supplied array object when using e.g. updateById. If you want to push or pop a value in an array you can use a custom resolver with a native MongoDB call.

For example (push):

schemaComposer.Mutation.addFields({
  userPushToArray: {
    type: UserTC,
    args: { userId: 'MongoID!', valueToPush: 'String' },
    resolve: async (source, args, context, info) => {
      const user = await User.update(
        { _id: args.userId },
        { $push: { arrayToPushTo: args.valueToPush } }
      );
      if (!user) return null // or gracefully return an error etc...
      return User.findOne({ _id: args.userId }) // return the record
    }
  }
})

User is the corresponding Mongoose model. If you do not wish to allow duplicates in the array then replace $push with $addToSet. Read the graphql-compose docs on custom resolvers for more info: https://graphql-compose.github.io/docs/en/basics-resolvers.html

NB if you set unique: true on the array then using the update $push approach will not check for duplicates, this is due to a MongoDB bug: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-1068. For more usage examples with $push and arrays see the MongoDB docs here https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/update/push/. Also note that $push will preserve order in the array (append to end of array) whereas $addToSet will not.

Is it possible to use several schemas?

By default composeMongoose uses global schemaComposer for generated types. If you need to create different GraphQL schemas you need create own schemaComposers and provide them to customizationOptions:

import { SchemaComposer } from 'graphql-compose';

const schema1 = new SchemaComposer();
const schema2 = new SchemaComposer();

const UserTCForSchema1 = composeMongoose(User, { schemaComposer: schema1 });
const UserTCForSchema2 = composeMongoose(User, { schemaComposer: schema2 });

Embedded documents has _id field and you don't need it?

Just turn them off in mongoose:

const UsersSchema = new Schema({
  _id: { type: String }
  emails: [{
    _id: false, // <-- disable id addition in mongoose
    address: { type: String },
    verified: Boolean
  }]
});

Can field name in schema have different name in database?

Yes, it can. This package understands mongoose alias option for fields. Just provide alias: 'country' for field c and you get country field name in GraphQL schema and Mongoose model but c field in database:

const childSchema = new Schema({
  c: {
    type: String,
    alias: 'country'
  }
});
