@ssb-graphql/main

GraphQL for Secure Scuttlebutt

Main GraphQL types and resolvers for Secure Scuttlebutt. It provides primitives for CurrentIdentity, file-upload, Date handling etc.

Usage

npm i -S @ssb-graphql/main

Example Usage

const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server-express')
const { buildFederatedSchema } = require('@apollo/federation');

const Server = require('ssb-server')
const Config = require('ssb-config/inject')

const config = Config({})

const ssb = Server
  .use(require('ssb-blobs')) // << required
  .use(require('ssb-serve-blobs')) // << required
  .call(null, config)

const main = require('@ssb-graphql/main')(ssb)

main.loadContext((err, context) => {
  if (err) throw err

  const server = new ApolloServer({
    schema: buildFederatedSchema([
      { typeDefs: main.typeDefs, resolvers: main.resolvers },
      // add other types + resolvers here!
    ]),
    context
  })
})

API

require('@ssb-graphql/main')(ssb, opts) => main

where:

• ssb is a scuttlebutt instance
• opts Object (optional) is of form { type: String } where:
  • type is the type of profile created (default: 'person')

main.loadContext(cb)

Where cb is a callback of signature cb(err, context) and context has form

{
  public: {
    feedId,
    profileId  // requires ssb-profile
  },
  personal: {
    groupId,   // requires ssb-tribes
    profileId  // requires ssb-profile + ssb-tribes
  }
}

where:

• the public scope are things meant for the public domain,
  • public.feedId is the public id of your scuttlebutt instance (this is not a profileId)
  • public.profileId points to an unecrypted totally public profile
• the personal scope is for things only you will use
  • personal.groupId is the id of your personal group (for encrypted notes to self)
  • personal.profileId points to a profile for you which encrypted to your personal group (so no-one else will see these details)

NOTE:

• this will create new records (profiles / private group) and link them to your feed if they do not already exist
• creating profiles requires ssb-profile installed
• creating a personal group with a profile in it further requires ssb-tribes
  • if ssb-tribes is not installed, this will be skipped
  • if type was set to pataka when main was instantiated, this will also be skipped

Requirements

An ssb-server with the following plugins:

• ssb-blobs
• ssb-serve-blobs

For main.loadContext:

• ssb-profile
• ssb-tribes (optional, will skip functions if not present)
