Hive Plugin for Apollo-Router now available on Crates.io

Dotan Simha

We’re excited to announce that the Hive Plugin for Apollo-Router is now available on Crates.io!

Why?

The Hive Plugin for Apollo-Router is an integration plugin that allows you to easily integrate Hive’s features into your Apollo-Router projects.

By using Hive Plugin for Apollo-Router, you can leverage Hive’s powerful features such as:

Hive provides a drop-in replacement for Apollo-Router binary/Docker image that you can use directly, without compiling or installing dependencies.

But, for more advanced users who want to build a custom Apollo-Router with their own native plugins, you can now use the Hive plugin directly from Crates.io!

How to use?

Start by adding the Hive plugin dependency to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
hive-apollo-router-plugin = "..."

And then intergrate the plugin in your codebase:

// import the registry instance and the plugin registration function
use hive_apollo_router_plugin::registry::HiveRegistry;
use hive_apollo_router_plugin::usage::register;
 
// In your main function, make sure to register the plugin before you create or initialize Apollo-Router
fn main() {
    // Register the Hive usage_reporting plugin
    register();
 
    // Initialize the Hive Registry instance and start the Apollo Router
    match HiveRegistry::new(None).and(apollo_router::main()) {
        Ok(_) => {}
        Err(e) => {
            eprintln!("{}", e);
            std::process::exit(1);
        }
    }
}
