feat: Support other strategies

Does graphql-passport also supports other strategies like say passport-azure-ad with its BearerStrategy?`

The documentation only mentions GraphQLLocalStrategy , that’s why it’s unclear to me.

This should be doable but I’ve never worked with the more advanced strategies. The GraphQLLocalStrategy is implemented but it would be awesome if all of the strategies passport provides could be available.

Hey @DarkLite1, @PacomeRivier. Sorry for keeping you wait. The biggest pain that graphql-passport solves is local authentication with email and password. That’s what the GraphQLLocalStrategy is for. Other strategies can be used in the normal way with passport.

If you’re looking for an example you can see this blog post. Here is the final repository that combines the Facebook Strategy with local email/password.

If you don’t use local email/password to authenticate the only thing you might use from this package is the buildContext function as you can see here. This basically just copies some of the passport functions like authenticate, login, logout and so on into the GraphQL context. So you might not necessarily need to use this package if you don’t use local email/password.
