Add rule in run time

Question about GraphQL Shield

I’m interested in knowing if it’s possible to add/remove rule in run-time.

The use case is:

• I have a list of ‘system-rules’ and a list of ‘user-rules’
• The ‘system-rules’ are added when the server starts
• The ‘user-rules’ are added if the user use a method addRule where he specifies a resolver (eg: query.addUser, mutation.removeUser) and chooses one rule (eg: isAdmin, isAuthenticated)

I have no problem adding the ‘system-rules’ when the server starts. But I can’t find a way to add ‘user-rules’.

Is there a way to add rules after the shield middleware is created or to add a new shield middleware in run time?

Thanks!

• I have checked other questions and found none that matches mine.

I don’t think there is an api for that, but maybe this could work:

import { applyMiddleware } from 'graphql-middleware'

// Your other code.

apolloServer.schema = applyMiddleware(schema, yourNewPermissions)

This will recreate and reassign the whole schema to the running apollo server instance. It should work with apollo-server and graphql-yoga (as it uses apollo-server unter the hood).
