GraphQL java backend representing an ugly way to authenticate/authorize using Spring boot, GraphQL & jsonwebtoken It's the only way I found to apply a security in your graphql-java I have tried to integrate it with spring security using 'hasRole("ROLE")' but it didn't work I think because Mutation & Query are being instantiated by GraphQL not by Spring boot So I found this way is the only one to implement security into graphql-java backend It's an ugly way you have to check user in every mutation and query and that's not good
The next repository will be about doing the same thing but the right way using graphql-spqr Which has a better implementation of GraphQL in java, It's so easy to use as it implemented as RestController Also you can use standard Spring boot security without any problem
