[Apollo Federation](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/federation/federation-spec/) support for [Absinthe](https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe)
## Installation
Install from [Hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/absinthe_federation):
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:absinthe_federation, "~> 0.4"}
]
end
```
Install from github:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:absinthe_federation, github: "DivvyPayHQ/absinthe_federation", branch: "main"}
]
end
```
Add the following line to your absinthe schema
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchema do
use Absinthe.Schema
+ use Absinthe.Federation.Schema
query do
...
end
end
```
## Usage
### Macro based schemas (recommended)
> Note: Implementing the reference resolver with function capture does not work at the moment. Hence, the below example uses an anonymous function.
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchema do
use Absinthe.Schema
+ use Absinthe.Federation.Schema
query do
+ extends()
field :review, :review do
arg(:id, non_null(:id))
resolve(&ReviewResolver.get_review_by_id/3)
end
...
end
object :product do
+ key_fields("upc")
+ extends()
field :upc, non_null(:string) do
+ external()
end
field(:reviews, list_of(:review)) do
resolve(&ReviewResolver.get_reviews_for_product/3)
end
+ field(:_resolve_reference, :product) do
+ resolve(fn parent, args, context ->
ProductResolver.get_product_by_upc(parent, args, context)
end)
+ end
end
end
```
### Macro based schema with existing prototype
If you are already using a schema prototype
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchema do
use Absinthe.Schema
+ use Absinthe.Federation.Schema, skip_prototype: true
@prototype_schema MyApp.MySchemaPrototype
query do
...
end
end
```
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchemaPrototype do
use Absinthe.Schema.Prototype
+ use Absinthe.Federation.Schema.Prototype.FederatedDirectives
directive :my_directive do
on [:schema]
end
end
```
### SDL based schemas (experimental)
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchema do
use Absinthe.Schema
+ use Absinthe.Federation.Schema
import_sdl """
extend type Query {
review(id: ID!): Review
}
extend type Product @key(fields: "upc") {
upc: String! @external
reviews: [Review]
}
"""
def hydrate(_, _) do
...
end
```
### Resolving structs in \_entities queries
If you need to resolve your struct to a specific type in your schema you can implement the `Absinthe.Federation.Schema.EntityUnion.Resolver` protocol like this:
```elixir
defmodule MySchema do
@type t :: %__MODULE__{
id: String.t()
}
defstruct id: ""
defimpl Absinthe.Federation.Schema.EntityUnion.Resolver do
def resolve_type(_, _), do: :my_schema_object_name
end
end
```
### Federation v2
You can import Apollo Federation v2 directives by extending your top-level schema with the `@link` directive.
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchema do
use Absinthe.Schema
use Absinthe.Federation.Schema
+ extend schema do
+ directive :link,
+ url: "https://specs.apollo.dev/federation/v2.0",
+ import: [
+ "@key",
+ "@shareable",
+ "@provides",
+ "@external",
+ "@tag",
+ "@extends",
+ "@override",
+ "@inaccessible"
+ ]
+ end
query do
...
end
end
```
### Namespacing and directive renaming with `@link`
`@link` directive supports namespacing and directive renaming (only on **Absinthe >= 1.7.2**) according to the specs.
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MySchema do
use Absinthe.Schema
use Absinthe.Federation.Schema
+ extend schema do
+ directive :link,
+ url: "https://specs.apollo.dev/federation/v2.0",
+ import: [%{"name" => "@key", "as" => "@primaryKey"}], # directive renaming
+ as: "federation" # namespacing
+ end
query do
...
end
end
```
