GraphQL Auth OPA is a directive for GraphQL Schema that adds an Authentication and Authorization directive using Open Policy Agent

__Made with ❀️ at  [Treedom](#-join-us-in-making-a-difference-)__, [join us in making a difference](#-join-us-in-making-a-difference-)!

## Usage

```typescript
import { opaAuthDirective } from "@treedom/graphql-auth-opa/opaAuthDirective";
// You could also use the @styra/opa OpaClient
import { OpenPolicyAgentClient } from "@treedom/opa-client-sdk";
//

// Include the directive in the schema
const typeDefs = `#graphql
${opaAuthDirective}

type Query {
ping(message: String!): String! @opa(path: "my/opa/policy", options: { ... })
}
`

// Configure OPA auth transformer
const opaTransformer = opaAuthDirective(
{
requestContextField?: string // default: 'req'
directiveName?: string
}
)

// Apply the transformer function to the schema
const schema = opaTransformer(makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs }))

// if you want the context apply it to the Apollo context type
type MyContext = {request: IncomingMessage}

const server = new ApolloServer({
schema
});

// Start apollo with standalone server

const { url } = await startStandaloneServer(server, {
// require an http.IncomingMessage implementation
context: async ({ req }) => ({ request: req }),
});
```

## OPA policy input

This plugin queries OPA providing the following properties as `input`:

- `headers` the headers object, this requires a context request forwarding
- `parent` the GraphQL parent object of the field/object which got queried
- `args` the GraphQL args object of the field/object which got queried
- `options` static untyped properties defined in the directive arguments _(optional)_

### Example Rego Policy

Let's imagine a GraphQL server which accept requests authorized using JWTs containing the `role` property in their claims.
The following Rego uses a hypotetical `oidc.verify_token` that validates the JWT signature and returns the token claims
or false if the token is not valid.

```rego
package my.opa.policy

import rego.v1
import data.oidc

default allow := false

allow if {
user := oidc.verify_token(input.headers.authorization)

user
user.role = "admin"
}
```

## Headers forwarding

If you need to forward the headers to OPA you can use the `requestContextField` option to specify the name of the request context field.

To do that you need to manually build the context by adding the request object.

> Currently the request should have a `headers` property with `http.IncomingHttpHeaders` type.
> Compatible with `FastifyRequest<...>` and `http.IncomingRequest`.

### Apollo Server Example
```typescript
import { IncomingMessage } from 'node:http'

type MyContext {
req: IncomingMessage
}

const opaClient = new OpenPolicyAgentClient({
url: 'http://opa.test:3000',
})

const transformer = opaTransformer(opaClient, {
requestContextField: 'req' // should be the name of the request context field
})

const schema = transformer(makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, ... }))

const server = new ApolloServer({...})

const { url } = await startStandaloneServer(server, {
context: async (ctx) => (ctx),
});

```

### Fastify Example

```typescript
import fastify, { FastifyRequest } from 'fastify'
import fastifyApollo, {
fastifyApolloDrainPlugin,
} from '@as-integrations/fastify'

type MyContext = {
request: FastifyRequest
}

const opaClient = new OpenPolicyAgentClient({
url: 'http://opa.test:3000',
})

const transformer = opaTransformer(opaClient, {
requestContextField: 'request' // should be the name of the request context field
})

const schema = transformer(makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, ... }))

const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({
schema,
plugins: [fastifyApolloDrainPlugin(app)],
})

await apolloServer.start()

app.log.debug({}, 'Apollo Server plugin loaded')

// Build context function
await app.register(fastifyApollo(apolloServer), {
context: async (request) => {
return {
request, // FastifyRequest
}
},
})

```

## Custom directive

The authorization directive can be customized registering a custom one in the schema and specifying its name in the plugin configuration:

```graphql
scalar OpaOptions
directive @policy(path: String!, options: OpaOptions) on OBJECT | FIELD_DEFINITION
```

```typescript
const transformer = opaTransformer(opaClient, {
authDirective: 'policy'
opaOptions: {
// ...
}
})

```
