This is the documentation for the old GraphQL Mesh version v0. We recommend upgrading to the latest GraphQL Mesh version v1.

Migrate to GraphQL Mesh v1

Migration guide from OpenAPI handler 0.31 to 0.32

This update includes a complete refactor of the handler, introducing some major changes.

The former handler version was based on OpenAPI-to-GraphQL, where the new one is based on our JSON Schema handler.

Naming conventions

While the former version was somewhat opinionated regarding field names, currently names are adjusted only when necessary according to the GraphQL spec, as explained here

Config options

Some options where replaced/dropped:

  • addLimitArgument: Use additional resolvers
  • allowUndefinedSchemaRefTags: Dropped
  • customResolvers: Use additional resolvers
  • defaultUndefinedSchemaType: Dropped
  • equivalentToMessages: Instead, we provide field information by enabling debug mode with DEBUG=fieldDetails
  • genericPayloadArgName: Dropped. Since we use generic input field for requestBody anyway, this option became redundant
  • headers: Use operationHeaders
  • idFormats: Use additional resolvers
  • includeHttpDetails: Dropped
  • operationIdFieldNames: Dropped. See naming conventions for further details
  • provideErrorExtensions: Dropped. Using debug mode for that matter is recommend
  • qs: Use queryParams instead. Note that using this option in the previous handler resulted in removing query input arguments, where now the behavior is making them all nullable, and preferring the input arg over the config params if both exist.
  • requestOptions: Dropped
  • selectQueryOrMutationField: Previous structure was simplified. Now this option expects an array of object, each containing fieldName (for relevant field name) and type for the expected type (”Query”/”Mutation”)
  • simpleNames: The current convention is equivalent to simpleNames: true. For other setups see the naming convention transform
  • strict: Use ignoreErrorResponses (input value should be inverted)

Security

Security scheme definitions can be define with string interpolation, using operationHeaders and queryParams config options.

Here is an example with batch of usages combined:

const handlerOptions = {
  operationHeaders: {
    // Basic auth. Add to the query input: {usernameAndPassword: "user123:pass123"}
    authorization: 'Basic {args.usernameAndPassword|base64}',
    // In the header. Add to the query input: {apiKey: "abcdef"}
    access_token: '{args.apiKey}',
    // In the cookie. Add to the query input: {apiKey: "abcdef"}
    cookie: 'access_token={args.apiKey}'
  },
  queryParams: {
    // In the query string. Add to the query input: {apiKey: "abcdef"}
    access_token: '{args.apiKey}'
  }
}

Miscellaneous

  • Input arguments: Now, users can input parameters both through config options (operationHeaders and/or queryParams) AND through request query input arguments. In case both exists for the same argument, request query value will override the config value. For reference, former behavior was config-defined arguments resulted in complete removal of those arguments from GraphQL type.
  • Error object: used to include path (e.g '/users/{username}') now includes url instead (e.g '[http://localhost:3000/api/users/abcdef](http://localhost:3002/api/users/abcdef)')
  • string as JSON objects: while old handler accepted simple strings as responses for type: “object” fields, the new handler will throw error
  • Request Body: where requestBody exists, it’s input argument will be named input and accept both json objects and other types of inputs (where former handler used different field named based on content type or input type name)
  • (minor) objects with format: “uuid” will be defined as field.type.name: ~~“ID”~~ “UUID”
  • Supporting multiple schemas: while former handler accepted one or more source files, the new handler accepts only one source - mesh as a whole can handle multiple sources (including multiple openAPI schemas)
  • AnyOf and OneOf handle:
