How to inject headers while calling graphql query

[saurabhtank]

while calling graphql query we are not able to inject headers.
ctx.db.query.moduleattributess({ ...args.input }, info);

We have tried adding by below syntax.
ctx.headers["Authorization"] = "Bearer Test"
but we are not able to find it in server request.

@maticzav Please let me know if there is any way we can do this.

Hi @saurabhtank, if you need to use request and response from express from ctx, you need to do something like that:

const server = new GraphQLServer({ 
  // ...
  context: async (yoga) => (
    yoga.connection 
      ? yoga.connection.context 
      : {
        request: yoga.request, // then from resolvers: ctx.request.headers ...
        response: yoga.response
      }
  )
  // ...
});

Otherwise, if you need to implement JWT authentication middleware :

// modules deps.
import jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';
import { GraphQLServer } from 'graphql-yoga';

// schema modules.
import typeDefs from './typeDefs';
import resolvers from './resolvers';

// server setup.
const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  context: async (yoga) => ({ user: yoga.request.user })
  // other props.
});

// auth middleware. 
function AuthMiddleware (req, res, next) {
  const token = req.headers['x-token']; // or any header field used for toke.
  if (token) {
    try {
      const { user } = jwt.verify(token, process.env.SECRET_TOKEN);
      req.user = user; 
    } catch (err) {
      throw new Error('some thing worng in auth middelware: ' + err)
    }
  }
  next();
}

// load auth middelware to express directly.
server.express.use(AuthMiddleware);

// server options.
const options = { 
  port: 4000,
  endpoint: '/graphql',
  subscriptions: {
    path: '/subscriptions'
  }
}

// run server.
server.start(options, console.log(`Server ready at http://localhost:${options.port} 🚀 .. `))

Testing is a critical part of software development and the new Yoga Server comes with built in way to test https://www.graphql-yoga.com/docs/testing. You can try out the beta release @graphql-yoga/node@beta and give us feedback. Thanks!
