Apollo Server 2 Hapi context

[musab]

How can I get my request object passed into my context? I am trying to verify the user is authenticated.

I am using the hapi pkg yar to manage the session.

For example in my root path, when I do the following

  app.route({
    method: 'GET',
    path: '/',
    options: {
      auth: 'simple'
    },
    handler(request) {
      return 'Logged in' + JSON.stringify(request.yar.get('auth'))
    }
  })

I see Logged in{"username":"admin","isValid":true,"id":"1","name":"John"}

But the following returns undefined:

  const server = new ApolloServer({
    schema: query,
    tracing: true,
    context: async ({ request }) => {
      return {
        request
      }
    }
  })


const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    rules: async (_, args, context) => {
      console.log(context.request.yar.get('auth'))
      return mock.rules
    }
  }
}

Here's a Github gist of my whole index.ts file https://gist.github.com/apollomusa/1afff80b29600c863705dc2cc174e86a

Anyone experiencing? For some reason the request object that Apollo Server receives does not hold the same values the request object Hapi receives

I had a similar issue with express
have u solved ur problem?

[ILovePing]

@apollomusa I set user to req.session in express, but couldn't get user in apolloServer context definition.
const server = new ApolloServer({ schema, context: ({req}) => { const { user } = req.session; return { user }; }, });

[musab]

@ILovePing similar issue with me, the request object in apolloServer context differs so for example

request.auth.isAuthenticated will be true for all other paths I setup in Hapi. But false when viewed within the apolloServer context:

  const server = new ApolloServer({
    schema: makeExecutableSchema(schema),
    playground: config.playground,
    context: async ({ request }) => {
      return {
        isAuthenticated: request.auth.isAuthenticated
      }
    }
  })

Still trying to find a solution

@apollomusa Currently,I just use a variable to store user for the first /graphql Get request

let user = null;
//...some other code here
public configureGraphQL(app: any, httpServer: any) {
    const typeDefs = this.graphQLFactory.mergeTypesByPaths('./**/*.graphql');
    const schema = this.graphQLFactory.createSchema({ typeDefs });
    app.use('/graphql', (req, res, next) => {
      if (req.session.user){
        user = req.session.user;
      }
      next();
    });
    const server = new ApolloServer({
      schema,
      context: () => {
        return { user };
      },
     });
    server.applyMiddleware({ app,
       cors: true,
       bodyParserConfig: true,
      });
    server.installSubscriptionHandlers(httpServer);
  }

This may has some other problems but helps now.
And I still couldn't figure out why req.session is different in the second /graphql Post request

You can specify route options when you call await apolloServer.applyMiddleware(), for example:

  await apolloServer.applyMiddleware({
    app: server, // a hapi server instance
    path: '/my/path/to/graphql',
    route: {
      auth: 'simple',
    },
  });

@apollomusa - Hope that helps a bit.

@maxnachlinger Your commend it's not clear. What does route does? I tried finding that option in the API reference documentation but there's no mention of applyMiddleware accepting a route option anywhere.

[maxnachlinger]

@obedparla route provides options for the graphql route in Hapi, have a look here -

apollo-server/packages/apollo-server-hapi/src/ApolloServer.ts

Line 59 in ad42402

route,

- route is if type hapi.RouteOptions.

@musab if you found an answer would you mind closing this issue?
