Yoga Driver

GraphQL Yoga is a modern, lightweight GraphQL server. It's fully open-source, optimized for developer experience, and built with flexibility in mind.

Configuration

The Yoga driver is configured using the driver option with drivers.yoga() in your GraphQL configuration file. The configuration accepts all GraphQL Yoga server options except for schema (which is automatically provided).

config/graphql.ts

import env from '#start/env'
import { defineConfig, drivers } from '@foadonis/graphql'
import { useDisableIntrospection } from '@graphql-yoga/plugin-disable-introspection'

const isDevelopment = env.get('NODE_ENV') === 'development'

export default defineConfig({
  driver: drivers.yoga({
    // Yoga server configuration
    graphiql: isDevelopment,
    plugins: isDevelopment ? [] : [useDisableIntrospection()],
  }),
})

It is highly recommended to disable the playground and introspection in production for security reasons as it exposes the available operations of your application.

Plugins

GraphQL Yoga supports a powerful plugin system that allows you to extend the server's functionality. You can add plugins to handle logging, error reporting, caching, and more.

config/graphql.ts

import { defineConfig, drivers } from '@foadonis/graphql'
import { useDisableIntrospection } from '@graphql-yoga/plugin-disable-introspection'

export default defineConfig({
  driver: drivers.yoga({
    plugins: [useDisableIntrospection()],
  }),
})

You can find more information about GraphQL Yoga plugins in the official documentation.
