Lifecycle Events

SubscriptionServer exposes lifecycle hooks you can use to manage your subscription and clients:

• onConnect - called upon client connection, with the connectionParams passed to SubscriptionsClient - you can return a Promise and reject the connection by throwing an exception. The resolved return value will be appended to the GraphQL context of your subscriptions.
• onDisconnect - called when the client disconnects.
• onOperation - called when the client executes a GraphQL operation - use this method to create custom params that will be used when resolving the operation. You can use this method to override the GraphQL schema that will be used in the operation.
• onOperationComplete - called when client's operation has been done it's execution (for subscriptions called when unsubscribe, and for query/mutation called immediately).

const subscriptionsServer = new SubscriptionServer(
  {
    onConnect: (connectionParams, webSocket, context) => {
      // ...
    },
    onOperation: (message, params, webSocket) => {
      // Manipulate and return the params, e.g.
      params.context.randomId = uuid.v4();

      // Or specify a schema override
      if (shouldOverrideSchema()) {
        params.schema = newSchema;
      }

      return params;
    },
    onOperationComplete: webSocket => {
      // ...
    },
    onDisconnect: (webSocket, context) => {
      // ...
    },
  },
  {
    server: websocketServer,
  },
);
