Ariadne 0.6.0

· 2 min read

Ariadne 0.6 is now available, bringing bug fixes, extensions and support for application performance monitoring.

Extensions and middlewares​

Extensions support is now available. Extensions can be used to add custom monitoring to the API, as well as inject custom logic into query execution process.

0.6 also formalizes our support for the GraphQL middlewares, which enable developers to wrap resolvers used by server with custom logic.

Extensions are only available in GraphQL servers running over the ASGI, but middlewares are supported by both ASGI and WSGI servers.

Apollo tracing and OpenTracing monitoring extensions.​

ariadne.contrib.tracing package has been added to the library that provides extensions for easy enabling application performance metrics in GraphQL Server.

Apollo tracing extension adds query's trace data to the results JSON. This data can then be viewed using the TRACE option in GraphQL Playground.

OpenTracing extension can be used to monitor GraphQL API for performance and errors using popular APM tools like Jaeger or Datadog:

CHANGELOG​

  • Updated graphql-core-next to 1.1.1 which has feature parity with GraphQL.js 14.4.0.
  • Added basic extensions system to the ariadne.graphql.graphql. Currently only available in the ariadne.asgi.GraphQL app.
  • Added convert_kwargs_to_snake_case utility decorator that recursively converts the case of arguments passed to resolver from camelCase to snake_case.
  • Removed default_resolver and replaced its uses in library with graphql.default_field_resolver.
  • Resolver returned by resolve_to util follows graphql.default_field_resolver behaviour and supports resolving to callables.
  • Added is_default_resolver utility for checking if resolver function is graphql.default_field_resolver, resolver created with resolve_to or alias.
  • Added ariadne.contrib.tracing package with ApolloTracingExtension and OpenTracingExtension GraphQL extensions for adding Apollo tracing and OpenTracing monitoring to the API (ASGI only).
  • Updated ASGI app disconnection handler to also check client connection state.
  • Fixed ASGI app context_value option support for async callables.
  • Updated middleware option implementation in ASGI and WSGI apps to accept list of middleware functions or callable returning those.
  • Moved error formatting utils (get_formatted_error_context, get_formatted_error_traceback, unwrap_graphql_error) to public API.
