HTTP data source for a resolver

  • บทความ

APPLIES TO: All API Management tiers

The http-data-source resolver policy configures the HTTP request and optionally the HTTP response to resolve data for an object type and field in a GraphQL schema. The schema must be imported to API Management as a GraphQL API.

Note

Set the policy's elements and child elements in the order provided in the policy statement. Learn more about how to set or edit API Management policies.

http-response elements

Note

Except where noted, each child element may be specified at most once. Specify elements in the order listed.

Name Description Required
set-body Sets the body in the resolver's HTTP response. No
xml-to-json Transforms the resolver's HTTP response from XML to JSON. No
find-and-replace Finds a substring in the resolver's HTTP response and replaces it with a different substring. No
publish-event Publishes an event to one or more subscriptions specified in the GraphQL API schema. No
include-fragment Inserts a policy fragment in the policy definition. If there are multiple fragments, then add additional include-fragment elements. No

Usage

Usage notes

  • To configure and manage a resolver with this policy, see Configure a GraphQL resolver.
  • This policy is invoked only when resolving a single field in a matching GraphQL operation type in the schema.

Examples

Resolver for GraphQL query

The following example resolves a query by making an HTTP GET call to a backend data source.

Example schema

type Query {
    users: [User]
}

type User {
    id: String!
    name: String!
}

Example policy

<http-data-source>
    <http-request>
        <set-method>GET</set-method>
        <set-url>https://data.contoso.com/get/users</set-url>
    </http-request>
</http-data-source>

Resolver for a GraqhQL query that returns a list, using a liquid template

The following example uses a liquid template, supported for use in the set-body policy, to return a list in the HTTP response to a query. It also renames the username field in the response from the REST API to name in the GraphQL response.

Example schema

type Query {
    users: [User]
}

type User {
    id: String!
    name: String!
}

Example policy

<http-data-source>
    <http-request>
        <set-method>GET</set-method>
        <set-url>https://data.contoso.com/users</set-url>
    </http-request>
    <http-response>
        <set-body template="liquid">
            [
                {% JSONArrayFor elem in body %}
                    {
                        "name": "{{elem.username}}"
                    }
                {% endJSONArrayFor %}
            ]
        </set-body>
    </http-response>
</http-data-source>

Resolver for GraphQL mutation

The following example resolves a mutation that inserts data by making a POST request to an HTTP data source. The policy expression in the set-body policy of the HTTP request modifies a name argument that is passed in the GraphQL query as its body. The body that is sent will look like the following JSON:

{
    "name": "the-provided-name"
}

Example schema

type Query {
    users: [User]
}

type Mutation {
    makeUser(name: String!): User
}

type User {
    id: String!
    name: String!
}

Example policy

<http-data-source>
    <http-request>
        <set-method>POST</set-method>
        <set-url>https://data.contoso.com/user/create </set-url>
        <set-header name="Content-Type" exists-action="override">
            <value>application/json</value>
        </set-header>
        <set-body>@{
            var args = context.GraphQL.Arguments;  
            JObject jsonObject = new JObject();
            jsonObject.Add("name", args["name"])
            return jsonObject.ToString();
        }</set-body>
    </http-request>
</http-data-source>

Resolver for GraphQL union type

The following example resolves the orderById query by making an HTTP GET call to a backend data source and returns a JSON object that includes the customer ID and type. The customer type is a union of RegisteredCustomer and GuestCustomer types.

Example schema

type Query {
  orderById(orderId: Int): Order
}

type Order {
  customerId: Int!
  orderId: Int!  
  customer: Customer
}

enum AccountType {
  Registered
  Guest
}

union Customer = RegisteredCustomer | GuestCustomer

type RegisteredCustomer {
  accountType: AccountType!
  customerId: Int!
  customerGuid: String!
  firstName: String!
  lastName: String!
  isActive: Boolean!
}

type GuestCustomer {
  accountType: AccountType!
  firstName: String!
  lastName: String!
}

Example policy

For this example, we mock the customer results from an external source, and hard code the fetched results in the set-body policy. The __typename field is used to determine the type of the customer.

<http-data-source>
    <http-request>
        <set-method>GET</set-method>
        <set-url>https://data.contoso.com/orders/</set-url>
    </http-request>
    <http-response>
        <set-body>{"customerId": 12345, "accountType": "Registered", "__typename": "RegisteredCustomer" }
        </set-body>
    </http-response>
</http-data-source>
