Forward Client Extensions - WunderGraph

Support for the “extensions” field in GraphQL Request JSON Payloads

For Query and Mutation

Cosmo Router supports sending the “extensions” field to Subgraphs. If a client sends an “extensions” field alongside a Query or Mutation, or alternatively as part of the “payload” of a Subscription Request, Cosmo Router will by default include the “extensions” field in all Subgraph requests. This feature allows you to extend GraphQL in a very flexible way as defined by the GraphQL over HTTP specification. Here’s an example on how this can be used:

{\"query\":\"{hello}\",\"extensions\":{\"token\":\"asd\"}}

For initiating a subscription

Alternatively, this feature could be useful to send a token when initiating a subscription:

{\"id\":\"1\",\"type\":\"subscribe\",\"payload\":{\"extensions\":{\"token\":\"asd\"},\"query\":\"subscription {\n  currentTime {\n    unixTime\n  }\n}\"}}

More info on how this can be used with subscriptions can be found here.
