Audit Documents

Audit your documents for useful metrics such as query depth, directive count and alias count. This is useful if you want to introduce security rules on your GraphQL server (e.g. via graphql-armor (opens in a new tab)) and need to figure out the values for doing so.

Usage

Run the following command:

graphql-inspector audit DOCUMENTS

Example

graphql-inspector audit './documents/*.graphql'

Arguments

• DOCUMENTS - a glob pattern that points to GraphQL Documents / Operations

Flags

• -d, --detail - Print statistics for each single GraphQL operation (default: false)
• --complexityScalarCost - The cost of a scalar field for calculating the complexity score (default: 1)
• --complexityObjectCost - The cost of an object field for calculating the complexity score (default: 2)
• --complexityDepthCostFactor - The cost factor of a field per depth level for calculating the complexity score (default: 1.5)

Output

A list of metrics including the maximum depth limit, maximum alias count and maximum directive count.

This process does not fail, as it is mainly for showing useful information. In case you want to enforce a certain query deth, directive count or alias count limit check the --maxDepth, --maxAliasCount and --maxDirectiveCount flags in the Validate Documents documentation.
