apollo-resolver-gcs

apollo-resolver-gcs

A resolver function for Apollo Server which loads serialized data from Google Cloud Storage.

This is intended for loading static data backed by S3 but may be useful for other functions as well.

Based on the example server in the Apollo Server 2 Getting Started guide.

Usage

const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server')
const { createResolver } = require('apollo-resolver-gcs')

const typeDefs = ...

const getBook = createResolver({
  projectId: 'sandbox-123545',
  bucketName: 'all-my-books',
  argsToKey: ({ slug }) => `${slug}.json`,
})

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    getBook,
  },
}

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers })

await server.listen()

In this example, getBook(slug: "harry-potter") returns the deserialized contents of gcs://all-my-books/harry-potter.json.

Authentication

Follow the Google Cloud Storage quickstart. In particular, you must set up authentication using gcloud auth login and gcloud auth application-default login, or using a service account and setting the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS access variable.

Running the example server

1. Designate a bucket for the example server.
2. Copy example.env to .env and set the relevant variables.
3. Run npm run load-server-fixtures to load the fixtures into the bucket.
4. Run npm start to start the server.
5. Open https://localhost:4000/. You should see the GraphQL Playground explorer tool.
6. Run a query:

{
  getBook(slug: "harry-potter") {
    title
    author
  }
}

You should see the result:

{
  "data": {
    "getBook": {
      "title": "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets",
      "author": "J.K. Rowling"
    }
  }
}

Running the tests

1. Designate a bucket for the example server.
2. Copy example.env to .env and set the relevant variables.
3. Run npm test.
