Add custom context

[flashtheman]

I would like to add a custom context so I don't have add the same code in each of my resolver functions. Is there some way to do this?

    // Create the Apollo Server that takes a schema and configures internal stuff
    const server = new ApolloServer({
      schema,
      context: accountsGraphQL.context,
    });

I would like to use it for giving each api request a typeorm Entity Manager instance so I can wrap each request into an SQL transaction.

Do you mean something like this?

 const server = new ApolloServer({
      schema,
      context: {
		 ...accountsGraphQL.context,
         myTypeormContextObject,
      },
    });

Thanks for your answer!

I tried that but if myTypeormContextObject is set to {x: 'xxx'} and I output the context in one of my resolver functions, then it only returns:

{"x":"xxx","_extensionStack":{"extensions":[]}}

Do you know the reason? Not sure if I'm doing something wrong. When I change it back to only accountsGrqphQL.context everything works normally.

Ah yeah sorry, my mistake, you have to do like this:

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  context: (req) => ({
    ...await accountsGraphQL.context(req),
    myTypeormContextObject,
  }),
});
