How to use Envelop for server-side rendering

[vladinator1000]

Hey folks, I have this Remix app that uses Apollo client with SchemaLink to avoid the network. It's running in Cloudflare Pages.

I'm creating my client for server rendering like this

export function createGraphqlClient(context: Dependencies) {
  return new ApolloClient({
    cache: createCache(),
    ssrMode: true,
    link: ApolloLink.from([
      // logLink,
      new SchemaLink({ schema: context.gqlSchema, context }),
    ]),
  })
}

How do you set up envelop with Apollo client (not server)? I can't figure it out. My goal is to use the same middleware for both server rendering and /graphql endpoints. Things like tracing, query authorization, etc.

I did find this workers API example, but I couln't find anything on server-side rendering.

I read the SchemaLink source and it looks like it doesn't include a way to override execute and validate. I could write my own "EnvelopSchemaLink" based on that but I'm curious how everyone else handles server-side rendering. I'm porting a large Apollo app so I'm stuck with it for better or worse.

Hi! Thank you for reaching out!

Are you using Graphql Yoga for your server ?

Hi @EmrysMyrddin, I'm not using Yoga for this, my app is a Remix monolith that does server-side rendering using Apollo with SchemaLink to avoid the network. You could say that SchemaLink is my "server". I created an example with a possible implementation for it here: #2256 (comment)
