GraphQL resolver for using router level middlewares at ease.

Why?

• Easy to use.
• Actively maintained.
• Zero dependency.
• Handles router-level middleware in graphql just like in expressJs.

Install

$ npm install graphql-router-ware

Usage

Import in ES6 or ESM

import Router from 'graphql-router-ware';

// your code here...

Require in CommonJS

const Router = require('graphql-router-ware');

// your code here...

Resolver

import Router from 'graphql-router-ware';
import { checkPermission } from '../helpers/userhalper';
import Controller from '../controllers/page';

const resolvers = {
    Query: {
        singlePage: Router(Controller.singlePage)
    },
    Mutation: {
        createPage: Router(checkPermission,Controller.create),
        updatePage: Router(checkPermission,Controller.update),
    }
}

export default resolvers;

Middleware

// ....
export checkPermission=({ ctx },next)=>{

    if(!ctx.user){
        return next(new Error('Not logged in'));
        // or throw new Error('Not logged in')
    }

    // some more permission checks....
    return next();
};
// ....

Controller

// ....
export create=({ args,ctx })=>{
    // Already all the permissions have been verified...
    
    const page = { ...args, userId: ctx.user }; 
    
    // some more operations....

    return page;
};
// ....

API

Router(...functions)

It can take any number of functions which are called one by one using the next parameter passed in all functions.

next(err?)

It is passed in each of your functions as the last parameter. To continue the chain you need to return this function call at the end of your function

Example

    next() // this will call the next function in chain
    next(err) // this will stop the chain and throws error to graphql

Router-functions({ root, args, ctx, info }, next)

You will recieve all the graphql parameters in the first argument and next function as second argument.

Note : You need to return the next() from your router function to continue the chain.
