Is it possible to throw models in context?

Question

Node.js

I am new to graphql.

I am making a project using apollo-server mongoose node.js.

Is it considered normal practice to add models to context ?

or should i import each model in resolvers.

Answer 1

Yes, it is considered normal practice to initialize models, synchronize and forward models to the context. BUT, in the case of mongoose, the best practice would be to initialize the connection and call the models in the resolver. In any case, there will be no superfluous overhead in the context, either in one or the other case. But the plus of using models in the resolver is autocomplete and the ability to look at the entity, nothing like this will happen in the context :)
My practice is, I won’t judge how correct it is:
- In the context of the user
- In the context of global things (cache, sending tasks to the queue, logger)
- In the context of a subscription (just convenient)
