Only expose certian Queries/Mutations

[Nick Bordeau]

We are contemplating using SOFA to generate an external REST API from our federated GraphQL API, but we want to be able to choose which queries/mutations we expose via the REST API. Is that possible with SOFA?

[Karan Toor]

Ditto

[Vincent Lecrubier]

That seems crucial for any serious production use yes.

Is there a way today to achieve something similar maybe by transforming the schema before feeding it to SOFA?

We're currently doing this with graphql-tools as such:

import { FilterRootFields, PruneSchema, schemaFromExecutor, wrapSchema } from "@graphql-tools/wrap"

const operationWhitelist = [
  "someoperation",
]

const schema = wrapSchema({
  schema: await schemaFromExecutor(executor),
  executor,
  transforms: [new FilterRootFields((_operationName, fieldName) => operationWhitelist.includes(fieldName)), new PruneSchema()],
})

To those who try to do this with Apollo federation, I managed to get this to work.

import { FilterRootFields, PruneSchema, wrapSchema } from '@graphql-tools/wrap';  

  const operationWhitelist = ['createUser', 'updateUser', 'user', 'users'];
  const wrappedSchema = wrapSchema({
    schema: schema,
    transforms: [
      new FilterRootFields((_operationName, fieldName) => {
        return operationWhitelist.includes(fieldName);
      }),
      new PruneSchema(),
    ],
  });

Then you pass the wrapped schema to Apollo server as usual

We also evaluated using Sofa for a public facing API, but this issue and #776 are pretty essential for that. Is this planned for the near future @ardatan or @Urigo ?
