Replace Express GraphQL’s middleware

You should replace Express GraphQL’s middleware with GraphQL Yoga’s;

const express = require('express'); - const { graphqlHTTP } = require('express-graphql'); + const { createYoga } = require('graphql-yoga'); const { schema } = require('./schema'); const app = express(); -app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP(req => ({ - schema: schema, - context: { - token: req.headers.authorization - }, - graphiql: true, -}))); +const yoga = createYoga({ + schema, + context: (req) => ({ // Context factory gets called for every request + myToken: req.headers.get('authorization'), + }), + graphiql: true, +}) + +app.use('/graphql', yoga); app.listen(4000); console.log('Running a GraphQL API server at http://localhost:4000/graphql');

schema, context and other parameters can be passed dynamically per HTTP request. context parameter of GraphQL Yoga can be a factory function but schema cannot. So you should use @envelop/use-lazy-loaded-schema for the same behavior.
