graphql-errors

This gem provides a simple error handling for graphql-ruby.

Highlights

• Error handling for each field.
• Logic inside the rescue_from block, similarly to Rails.
• Catching exceptions by ancestors, e.g. CustomError with rescue_from StandardError.
• Per schema configuration.
• No dependencies.

Usage

Once you defined your GraphQL schema:

Schema = GraphQL::Schema.define do
  query QueryType
end

You can add rescue_from error handlers with GraphQL::Errors. For example:

GraphQL::Errors.configure(Schema) do
  rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound do |exception|
    nil
  end

  rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid do |exception|
    GraphQL::ExecutionError.new(exception.record.errors.full_messages.join("\n"))
  end

  # uses Module to handle several similar errors with single rescue_from
  rescue_from MyNetworkErrors do |_|
    GraphQL::ExecutionError.new("Don't mind, just retry the mutation")
  end

  rescue_from StandardError do |exception|
    GraphQL::ExecutionError.new("Please try to execute the query for this field later")
  end

  rescue_from CustomError do |exception, object, arguments, context|
    error = GraphQL::ExecutionError.new("Error found!")
    firstError.path = context.path + ["myError"]
    context.add_error(firstError)
  end
end

It'll handle exceptions raised from each resolver in the schema:

QueryType = GraphQL::ObjectType.define do
  name "Query"

  field :post, PostType do
    argument :id, !types.ID
    resolve ->(obj, args, ctx) { Post.find(args['id']) } # <= will raise ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
  end
end

Schema.execute('query { post(id: "1") { title } }') # handles the error without failing the whole query
# => { data: { post: nil } }
