Benzene Extras

The collection of helpful utilities for a GraphQL Server. Not limited to benzene libraries!

Introduction#

The GraphQL specification is meant to be extensible. For this reasons, there are many extensions to the specification such as:

• Automatic persisted queries

Benzene is written to be unopinionated, so it avoids including such extensions. However, its extensibility enables us to integrate those ourselves. This way, Benzene can stay lightweight while supporting wide ranges of use cases.

Most of the modules in this package are written to be framework-agnostic, and most are usable outside of Benzene.

Modules#

Errors#

import { HTTPError } from "@benzene/extra";

throw new HTTPError(statusCode, "Some message", extensions);

Automatic persisted queries#

See Automatic Persisted Queries with @benzene/extra.

import { makeAPQHandler } from "@benzene/extra";

const apqHTTP = makeAPQHandler();
// or use a custom cache
const apqHTTP = makeAPQHandler({
  cache: lru(1024),
});

await appHTTP(bodyOrQueryObject); // `appHTTP` mutates and returns `bodyOrQueryObject`
