onConnectionInit hook

The onConnectionInit hook is called when the engine is initiating a WebSocket connection with a GraphQL Server. It can be enabled for specific data-sources. Using this hook, you're able to populate the websocket connection_init message payload.

This hook is useful, e.g. when you'd like to authorize the websocket connection through a connection_init message payload.

{ "type": "connection_init", "payload": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" } }

Similar to all other hooks, the onConnectionInit hook is called with the following parameters:

user: The user object when the user is authenticated
clientRequest: The original client request object, including Headers
log: The logger object
operations: The operations client, used to call other (internal) operations
internalClient: The internal client object, deprecated
datasourceId: The id of the data-source

// wundergraph.config.ts
const chat = introspect.graphql({
  id: 'chatId',
  apiNamespace: 'chat',
  url: 'http://localhost:8085/query',
});

// wundergraph.server.ts
export default configureWunderGraphServer(() => ({
  hooks: {
    global: {
      wsTransport: {
        onConnectionInit: {
          enableForDataSources: ['chatId'],
          hook: async ({ clientRequest, dataSourceId }) => {
            let token = clientRequest.headers.get('Authorization') || '';
            if (dataSourceId === 'chatId') {
              token = 'secret';
            }
            return {
              payload: {
                Authorization: token,
              },
            };
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
}));
