I have been following this tutorial and trying to convert it to GraphQL. I am trying to implement a NestJS + GraphQL + Passport + Express-Session solution but I am having problems with the AuthGuard
. Sadly there is only little information on this available online. My AuthGuard looks like this
import { ExecutionContext, Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ExecutionContextHost } from '@nestjs/core/helpers/execution-context-host';
import { GqlExecutionContext } from '@nestjs/graphql';
import { AuthGuard } from '@nestjs/passport';
@Injectable()
export class LocalGuard extends AuthGuard('local') {
async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
const ctx = GqlExecutionContext.create(context);
const { req } = ctx.getContext();
const result = (await super.canActivate(
new ExecutionContextHost([req]),
)) as boolean;
console.log(result);
await super.logIn(req);
return result;
}
}
Unfortunately, I always receive a Unauthorized
response when trying to do a login request. I think the problem comes from my super.canActivate
call.
Update: This is my AuthGuard Implementation that finally worked. Overwriting getRequest and adding my input to the body fixes the problem.
import { ExecutionContext, Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { GqlExecutionContext } from '@nestjs/graphql';
import { AuthGuard } from '@nestjs/passport';
@Injectable()
export class LocalGuard extends AuthGuard('local') {
async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
const result = (await super.canActivate(context)) as boolean;
const ctx = GqlExecutionContext.create(context);
const { req } = ctx.getContext();
await super.logIn(req);
return result;
}
getRequest(context: ExecutionContext) {
const ctx = GqlExecutionContext.create(context);
const gqlReq = ctx.getContext().req;
if (gqlReq) {
const { authCredentialsInput } = ctx.getArgs();
gqlReq.body = authCredentialsInput;
return gqlReq;
}
}
}
