Intercepting Schema Changes

GraphQL Inspector lets you intercept schema changes via HTTP. You're able to decide which changes are acceptable which are not and all of this through even a serverless function.

Whenever GraphQL Inspector runs schema checking triggered by Push or Pull Request events, your http endpoint receives a list of changes, list of related Pull Request or a commit SHA.

Usage

Configuring an interceptor looks fairly similar to endpoints, except you can't modify a method, it's always POST request.

Single environment setup:

# POST with no headersintercept: '<url>'schema: 'schema.graphql'
# With headersschema: 'schema.graphql'intercept:  url: '<url>'  headers:    auth: Basic <public-key>

Multiple environment setup:

schema: 'schema.graphql'# Or globbally# intercept: <url>env:  production:    branch: 'master'    intercept: '<url>'  development:    branch: 'develop'    intercept:      url: '<url>'      headers:        auth: Basic <public-key>

Setting an interceptor logic

Let's set all criticality levels to Non-Breaking and GitHub Check conculsion to Success.

module.exports = (req, res) => {  const changes = req.body.changes;
  changes = changes.forEach((change) => {    change.criticality.level = 'NON_BREAKING';  });
  res.json({    changes,    conclusion: 'success',  });};

There's so much freedom here. Because you know which commit or a pull request triggered the check, you're able to decide if submitted changes should be rejected or accepted by fetching informations from GitHub API or your internal APIs.
