@harperdb/apollo

A HarperDB Component for running and developing Apollo GraphQL backend services.

Most Apollo features are supported as this component relies on the ApolloServer provided by @apollo/server.

If you don't know where to get started, check out the apollo-example starter project.

Options

Required

files: string

Specifies the directory that contains your configuration files.

Optional

cache: string

Specify a path to a custom Apollo cache implementation.

Must be set to a path of a JavaScript file with a default export of an Apollo cache backend implementing the KeyValueCache interface.

For example:

class CustomCache {
	// ...
}

export default CustomCache;

port: number

Specify a port for the Apollo server. Defaults to the HarperDB default port (generally 9926).

resolvers: string

Specify a path to the Apollo resolvers JavaScript file.

Must be set to a singular path of a JavaScript file containing a default export of Apollo resolver functions.

For example:

const resolvers = {
	Query: {
		dog: //...
	},
}

export default resolvers;

plugins: string

Specify a path to an Apollo plugins JavaScript file.

Must be set to a singular path of a JavaScript file containing a default export of Apollo plugins.

For example:

// Example setting custom response headers
const customPlugin = {
	async requestDidStart() {
		return {
			async willSendResponse(requestContext) {
				const { response } = requestContext;
				response.http.headers.set('x-foo', 'bar');
			},
		};
	},
};

const plugins = [customPlugin];

export default plugins;

schemas: string

Specify a glob path to Apollo schema files.

Can be a singular path or a glob pattern. All schemas will be concatenated together and passed to the Apollo server.

For example, if all schemas are located in src/schemas/, the setting here would be ./src/schemas/*.graphql

securePort: number

Specify a secure port for the Apollo server. Defaults to the HarperDB default secure port.
