Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@urql/exchange-auth is an exchange for the urql GraphQL client which helps handle auth headers and token refresh

Quick Start Guide

First install @urql/exchange-auth alongside urql:

yarn add @urql/exchange-auth
# or
npm install --save @urql/exchange-auth

You'll then need to add the authExchange, that this package exposes to your urql Client

import { createClient, cacheExchange, fetchExchange } from 'urql';
import { makeOperation } from '@urql/core';
import { authExchange } from '@urql/exchange-auth';

const client = createClient({
  url: 'http://localhost:1234/graphql',
  exchanges: [
    cacheExchange,
    authExchange(async utils => {
      // called on initial launch,
      // fetch the auth state from storage (local storage, async storage etc)
      let token = localStorage.getItem('token');
      let refreshToken = localStorage.getItem('refreshToken');

      return {
        addAuthToOperation(operation) {
          if (token) {
            return utils.appendHeaders(operation, {
              Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
            });
          }
          return operation;
        },
        willAuthError(_operation) {
          // e.g. check for expiration, existence of auth etc
          return !token;
        },
        didAuthError(error, _operation) {
          // check if the error was an auth error
          // this can be implemented in various ways, e.g. 401 or a special error code
          return error.graphQLErrors.some(e => e.extensions?.code === 'FORBIDDEN');
        },
        async refreshAuth() {
          // called when auth error has occurred
          // we should refresh the token with a GraphQL mutation or a fetch call,
          // depending on what the API supports
          const result = await mutate(refreshMutation, {
            token: authState?.refreshToken,
          });

          if (result.data?.refreshLogin) {
            // save the new tokens in storage for next restart
            token = result.data.refreshLogin.token;
            refreshToken = result.data.refreshLogin.refreshToken;
            localStorage.setItem('token', token);
            localStorage.setItem('refreshToken', refreshToken);
          } else {
            // otherwise, if refresh fails, log clear storage and log out
            localStorage.clear();
            logout();
          }
        },
      };
    }),
    fetchExchange,
  ],
});

Handling Errors via the errorExchange

Handling the logout logic in refreshAuth is the easiest way to get started, but it means the errors will always get swallowed by the authExchange. If you want to handle errors globally, this can be done using the mapExchange:

import { mapExchange } from 'urql';

// this needs to be placed ABOVE the authExchange in the exchanges array, otherwise the auth error
// will show up hear before the auth exchange has had the chance to handle it
mapExchange({
  onError(error) {
    // we only get an auth error here when the auth exchange had attempted to refresh auth and
    // getting an auth error again for the second time
    const isAuthError = error.graphQLErrors.some(
      e => e.extensions?.code === 'FORBIDDEN',
    );
    if (isAuthError) {
      // clear storage, log the user out etc
    }
  }
}),
