graphql-utilities

graphql-utilities tries to secure your GraphQL API from malicious queries and provides utilities to make using graphql-core easier.

1. It comes with a custom configurable ExtendedExecutionContext class that is capable of performing:

   • query cost analysis: define the cost of your queries using the @cost() directive provided, graphql-utilities provides helper functions and custom execution context to protect you from overly complex queries.
   • depth limiting: limit the maximum depth of queries, it's especially useful with object types with recursive relationship

2. It also ships decorators for:

   • resource-level/one-shot middleware: middleware in graphql-core is run at field-level, it is handly when you need your middleware to run only once, especially auth-related middleware.

Installation

pip install graphql-utilities

Alternatively, if you use pipenv:

pipenv install graphql-utilities

Examples

Operation-level middleware (One-shot middleware)

from graphql_utilities.decorators import run_only_once


class AuthMiddleware:
    @run_only_once
    def resolve(self, next_, root, info, *args, **kwargs):
        # middleware logic
        return next_(root, info, *args, **kwargs)   

Limiting Query Depth

# import your schema
from graphql import execute, parse   # Requires `graphql-core>=3.0`
from graphql_utilities.execution import ExtendedExecutionContext


query = '{ field_1_str field_2_int field_3_obj { field_3_obj_sub_1 { xxx } } }'
graphql_sync(schema=schema, source=query,
               context_value={"depth_analysis": {
                   "max_depth": 2   # Maximum depth allowed
               }},
               execution_context_class=ExtendedExecutionContext     # Use the `ExtendedExecutionContext` provided in `graphql-utilities`
        )

Query Cost Analysis

See the documentation at https://graphql-utilities.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Motivation

In recent projects, I ran into some problems with graphene and graphql-core including missing operation-level middleware (See issue here), etc. graphql-utilities is a compilation of utilities and custom execution context for depth analysis, etc targeting graphql-core>=3.0.
