OData / Microsoft Graph

image

This handler allows you to load remote OData metadata/schema as GraphQL Schema.

To get started, install the handler library:

yarn add @graphql-mesh/odata

Now, you can use it directly in your Mesh config file:

sources:
  - name: TripPin
    handler:
      odata:
        baseUrl: https://services.odata.org/TripPinRESTierService/

Dynamic Header Values

Mesh can take dynamic values from the GraphQL Context or the environmental variables. For example, if you use mesh dev or mesh start, GraphQL Context will be the incoming HTTP request.

The expression inside dynamic values should be as in JS.

From Context (HTTP Header for mesh dev or mesh start)

sources:
  - name: MyGraphQLApi
    handler:
      odata:
        baseUrl: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0
        operationHeaders:
          # Please do not use capital letters while getting the headers
          Authorization: Bearer {context.headers['x-my-api-token']}
          # You can also access to the cookies like below;
          # Authorization: Bearer {context.cookies.myApiToken}

And for mesh dev or mesh start, you can pass the value using x-my-graphql-api-token HTTP header.

From Environmental Variable

MY_API_TOKEN is the name of the environmental variable you have the value.

sources:
  - name: MyGraphQLApi
    handler:
      odata:
        baseUrl: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0
        operationHeaders:
          Authorization: Bearer {env.MY_API_TOKEN}
