Resolvers

Resolvers dynamically resolve individual properties based on a context, in a Feathers application usually the hook context.

This provide a flexible way to do things like:

Populating associations
Returning computed properties
Securing queries and e.g. limiting requests for a user
Setting context (e.g. logged in user or organization) specific default values
Removing protected properties for external requests
Add read- and write permissions on the property level
Hashing passwords and validating dynamic password policies

You can create a resolver for any data type and resolvers can also be used outside of Feathers.

Example

Here is an example for a standalone resolver using a custom context:

import { resolve } from '@feathersjs/schema'

type User = {
  id: number
  name: string
}

type Message = {
  id: number
  userId: number
  likes: number
  text: string
  user: User
}

class MyContext {
  async getUser(id) {
    return {
      id,
      name: 'David'
    }
  }

  async getLikes(messageId) {
    return 10
  }
}

const messageResolver = resolve<Message, MyContext>({
  likes: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getLikes(message.id)
  },
  user: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getUser(message.userId)
  }
})

const resolvedMessage = await messageResolver.resolve(
  {
    id: 1,
    userId: 23,
    text: 'Hello!'
  },
  new MyContext()
)

import { resolve } from '@feathersjs/schema'

type User = {
  id: number
  name: string
}

type Message = {
  id: number
  userId: number
  likes: number
  text: string
  user: User
}

class MyContext {
  async getUser(id) {
    return {
      id,
      name: 'David'
    }
  }

  async getLikes(messageId) {
    return 10
  }
}

const messageResolver = resolve<Message, MyContext>({
  likes: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getLikes(message.id)
  },
  user: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getUser(message.userId)
  }
})

const resolvedMessage = await messageResolver.resolve(
  {
    id: 1,
    userId: 23,
    text: 'Hello!'
  },
  new MyContext()
)

import { resolve } from '@feathersjs/schema'

class MyContext {
  async getUser(id) {
    return {
      id,
      name: 'David'
    }
  }

  async getLikes(messageId) {
    return 10
  }
}

const messageResolver = resolve({
  likes: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getLikes(message.id)
  },
  user: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getUser(message.userId)
  }
})

const resolvedMessage = await messageResolver.resolve(
  {
    id: 1,
    userId: 23,
    text: 'Hello!'
  },
  new MyContext()
)

import { resolve } from '@feathersjs/schema'

class MyContext {
  async getUser(id) {
    return {
      id,
      name: 'David'
    }
  }

  async getLikes(messageId) {
    return 10
  }
}

const messageResolver = resolve({
  likes: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getLikes(message.id)
  },
  user: async (value, message, context) => {
    return context.getUser(message.userId)
  }
})

const resolvedMessage = await messageResolver.resolve(
  {
    id: 1,
    userId: 23,
    text: 'Hello!'
  },
  new MyContext()
)

Property resolvers

Property resolvers are a map of property names to resolver functions. A resolver function is an async function that resolves a property on a data object. If it returns undefined the property will not be included. It gets passed the following parameters:

value - The current value which can also be undefined
data - The initial data object
context - The context for this resolver
status - Additional status information like current property resolver path, the properties that should be resolved or a reference to the initial context.

const userResolver = resolve<User, MyContext>({
  isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  },
  fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  }
})

const userResolver = resolve<User, MyContext>({
  isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  },
  fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  }
})

const userResolver = resolve({
  isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  },
  fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  }
})

const userResolver = resolve({
  isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  },
  fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  }
})

danger

Property resolver functions should only return a value and not have side effects. This means a property resolver should not do things like create new data or modify the data or context object. Hooks should be used for side effects.

Virtual property resolvers

Virtual resolvers are property resolvers that do not use the value but instead always return a value of their own. The parameters are ((data, context, status)). The above example can be written like this:

import { resolve, virtual } from '@feathersjs/schema'

const userResolver = resolve<User, MyContext>({
  isDrinkingAge: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  }),
  fullName: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  })
})

import { resolve, virtual } from '@feathersjs/schema'

const userResolver = resolve<User, MyContext>({
  isDrinkingAge: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  }),
  fullName: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  })
})

import { resolve, virtual } from '@feathersjs/schema'

const userResolver = resolve({
  isDrinkingAge: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  }),
  fullName: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  })
})

import { resolve, virtual } from '@feathersjs/schema'

const userResolver = resolve({
  isDrinkingAge: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

    return user.age >= drinkingAge
  }),
  fullName: virtual(async (user, context) => {
    return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
  })
})

Important

Virtual resolvers should always be used when combined with a database adapter in order to make valid $select queries. Otherwise queries could try to select fields that do not exist in the database which will throw an error.

Options

A resolver takes the following options as the second parameter:

converter (optional): A async (data, context) => {} function that can return a completely new representation of the data. A converter runs before properties resolvers.

const userResolver = resolve<User, MyContext>(
  {
    isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
      const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

      return user.age >= drinkingAge
    },
    fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
      return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
    }
  },
  {
    // Convert the raw data into a new structure before running property resolvers
    converter: async (rawData, context) => {
      return {
        firstName: rawData.data.first_name,
        lastName: rawData.data.last_name
      }
    }
  }
)

const userResolver = resolve<User, MyContext>(
  {
    isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
      const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

      return user.age >= drinkingAge
    },
    fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
      return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
    }
  },
  {
    // Convert the raw data into a new structure before running property resolvers
    converter: async (rawData, context) => {
      return {
        firstName: rawData.data.first_name,
        lastName: rawData.data.last_name
      }
    }
  }
)

const userResolver = resolve(
  {
    isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
      const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

      return user.age >= drinkingAge
    },
    fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
      return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
    }
  },
  {
    // Convert the raw data into a new structure before running property resolvers
    converter: async (rawData, context) => {
      return {
        firstName: rawData.data.first_name,
        lastName: rawData.data.last_name
      }
    }
  }
)

const userResolver = resolve(
  {
    isDrinkingAge: async (value, user, context) => {
      const drinkingAge = await context.getDrinkingAge(user.country)

      return user.age >= drinkingAge
    },
    fullName: async (value, user, context) => {
      return `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
    }
  },
  {
    // Convert the raw data into a new structure before running property resolvers
    converter: async (rawData, context) => {
      return {
        firstName: rawData.data.first_name,
        lastName: rawData.data.last_name
      }
    }
  }
)

Hooks

In a Feathers application, resolvers are used through hooks to convert service method query, data and responses. The context for these resolvers is always the hook context.

resolveData

Data resolvers use the schemaHooks.resolveData(...resolvers) hook and convert the data from a create, update or patch service method or a custom method. This can be used to validate against the schema and e.g. hash a password before storing it in the database or to remove properties the user is not allowed to write. It is possible to pass multiple resolvers which will run in the order they are passed, using the previous data. schemaHooks.resolveData can be used as an around and before hook.

import { schemaHooks, resolve } from '@feathersjs/schema'
import { Type } from '@feathersjs/typebox'
import type { Static } from '@feathersjs/typebox'
import type { HookContext } from '../declarations'

const messageSchema = Type.Object(

    createdAt: Type.Number(),
    updatedAt: Type.Number(),
    userId: Type.Number()
  },
  { $id: 'Message', additionalProperties: false }
)

type Message = Static<typeof messageSchema>

// Pick the data for creating a new message
const messageDataSchema = Type.Pick(messageSchema, ['text'])
type MessageData = Static<typeof messageDataSchema>

// Resolver that automatically set `userId` and `createdAt`
const messageDataResolver = resolve<Message, HookContext>({
  userId: async (value, message, context) => {
    // Associate the currently authenticated user
    return context.params?.user.id

})

app.service('users').hooks({
  before: {
    create: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    patch: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messagePatchResolver)]
  }
})

Note that as an all hook resolveData will run for any method that has data, including custom methods. If you want to validate custom methods differently the hook should be registered on each service method it is used:

app.service('users').hooks({
  before: {
    create: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    update: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    patch: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    customMethod: [schemaHooks.resolveData(customMethodDataResolver)]
  }
})

app.service('users').hooks({
  before: {
    create: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    update: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    patch: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    customMethod: [schemaHooks.resolveData(customMethodDataResolver)]
  }
})

app.service('users').hooks({
  before: {
    create: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    update: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    patch: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    customMethod: [schemaHooks.resolveData(customMethodDataResolver)]
  }
})

app.service('users').hooks({
  before: {
    create: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    update: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    patch: [schemaHooks.resolveData(messageDataResolver)],
    customMethod: [schemaHooks.resolveData(customMethodDataResolver)]
  }
})

resolveResult

Result resolvers use the schemaHooks.resolveResult(...resolvers) hook and resolve the data that is returned by a service call (context.result in a hook). This can be used to populate associations or add other computed properties etc. It is possible to pass multiple resolvers which will run in the order they are passed, using the previous data.

Important

schemaHooks.resolveResult must be used as an around hook. This is to ensure that the database adapters will be able to handle $select queries properly when using virtual properties.

resolveExternal

External (or dispatch) resolver use the schemaHooks.resolveDispatch(...resolvers) hook to return a safe version of the data that will be sent to external clients. It is possible to pass multiple resolvers which will run in the order they are passed, using the previous data. Returning undefined for a property resolver will exclude the property which can be used to hide sensitive data like the user password. This includes nested associations and real-time events. schemaHooks.resolveExternal can be used as an around or after hook.

    email: Type.String(),
    password: Type.String(),
    avatar: Type.Optional(Type.String())
  },
  { $id: 'User', additionalProperties: false }
)

export const userExternalResolver = resolve({
  // Always hide the password for external responses
  password: async () => undefined
})

// Dispatch should be resolved on every method
app.service('users').hooks({
  around: {
    all: [schemaHooks.resolveExternal(userExternalResolver)]
  }
})

  password: async () => undefined
})

// Dispatch should be resolved on every method
app.service('users').hooks({
  around: {
    all: [schemaHooks.resolveExternal(userExternalResolver)]
  }
})

important

In order to get the safe data from resolved associations all services involved need the schemaHooks.resolveExternal hook registered even if it does not need a resolver (schemaHooks.resolveExternal()).

schemaHooks.resolveExternal should be registered first when used as an around hook or last when used as an after hook so that it gets the final result data.

resolveQuery

Query resolvers use the schemaHooks.resolveQuery(...resolvers) hook to modify params.query. This is often used to set default values or limit the query so a user can only request data they are allowed to see. It is possible to pass multiple resolvers which will run in the order they are passed, using the previous data. schemaHooks.resolveQuery can be used as an around or before hook.
