Schema level mutation hooks

Open Secretmapper opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

From the docs, resolve hooks can be added per field in the schema.

For mutations, we define it through a top level hook object we pass to getSchema.

Is there a way to define mutation hooks inside the schema? Like so:

const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
  },
  hooks: {
    mutation: {
     addUser: {
       pre: (next, root, args, context) => {
          authorize(request)
          next()
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

I know this isn't possible since hooks will be seen as a type, but it's the gist of the idea

I've digged around in the source and something like this doesn't seem to be possible. What seems to be possible is creating a sort of root reducer for the mutations (like redux) and making it resolve the mutation based on the context's fieldName. So something like:

pre: (next, args, context) => {
  switch(context.fieldName) {
    case 'addUser':
      authorize(request)
      return next()
  }
}

I'd like to know if this is the canonical way to do this, and it'd be great to have examples in the docs for this use case.
