Federation Subgraph Transform

This transform allows to create subgraphs from your regular sources which don’t have any federation annotations. This transform uses graphql-transform-federation package.

npm i @graphql-mesh/transform-federation

yarn add @graphql-mesh/transform-federation

pnpm add @graphql-mesh/transform-federation

bun add @graphql-mesh/transform-federation

How to use?

Add the following configuration to your Mesh config file:

transforms:
  - federation:
      types:
        # Ensure the root queries of this schema show up the combined schema
        - name: Query
          config:
            extends: true
        - name: Product
          config:
            # extend Product {
            extend: true
            # Product @key(fields: "id") {
            key:
              fields:
                - id
            fields:
              # id: Int! @external
              - name: id
                config:
                  external: true
            resolveReference:
              queryFieldName: user

Add Reference Resolver as a Code File

To add more complex business logic, you can point to a code file that exports a resolver function.

resolveReference: ./userResolveReference.ts

// So we can point to an existing query field to resolve that entity
export default function (root, context, info) {
  return context.accounts.Query.user({ root, args: { id: root.id }, context, info })
}
