Introducing pipes
In GraphQL, types serve as the building blocks of our schema, allowing us to define the structure and behavior of our data. One powerful aspect of types is their ability to group schema parts by the domain they represent. By organizing our schema in this way, we can achieve a clear and cohesive separation of concerns, making our code base more maintainable and easier to understand.
Pipe patterns leverage this GraphQL structure. Usually, pipes are used to pass or stop the resolver tree execution.
In addition to improving the overall organization of our schema, domain-specific types also enable us to implement fine-grained access control. By defining specific fields and permissions for each type, we can ensure that only authorized users have access to certain data or operations. This level of control is particularly crucial when dealing with sensitive information or enforcing business rules.
When we perform operations on the root query, mutation, or subscription...
