Mercurius Auth OPA is a plugin for Mercurius that adds an Authentication and Authorization directive using Open Policy Agent

Made with ❤️ at  Treedom, join us in making a difference!

Usage

import { opaAuthPlugin } from "@treedom/mercurius-auth-opa";
import { opaAuthDirective } from "@treedom/mercurius-auth-opa/opaAuthDirective";

const schema = `#graphql
  ${opaAuthDirective}

  type Query {
    ping(message: String!): String! @opa(path: "my/opa/policy", options: { ... })
  }`

app.register(mercurius, {
  schema,
  resolvers: {
    Query: {
      ping: (source, args) => args.message,
    },
  },
})

app.register(opaAuthPlugin, {
  opaEndpoint: 'https://my.opa.endpoint',
})

OPA policy input

This plugin queries OPA providing the following properties as input

  • headers the Fastify headers object
  • parent the Mercurius parent object of the field/object which got queried
  • args the Mercurius args object of the field/object which got queried
  • options static untyped properties defined in the directive arguments (optional)

Example Rego Policy

Let's imagine a GraphQL server which accept requests authorized using JWTs containing the role property in their claims. The following Rego uses a hypotetical oidc.verify_token that validates the JWT signature and returns the token claims or false if the token is not valid.

package my.opa.policy

import rego.v1
import data.oidc

default allow := false

allow if {
    user := oidc.verify_token(input.headers.authorization)

    user
    user.role = "admin"
}

Custom directive

The authorization directive can be customized registering a custom one in the schema and specifying its name in the plugin configuration

scalar OpaOptions
directive @policy(path: String!, options: OpaOptions) on OBJECT | FIELD_DEFINITION
app.register(opaAuthPlugin, {
  // ...
  authDirective: 'policy'
})
app.register(opaAuthPlugin, {
  // ...
  opaOptions: {
    // ...
  }
})
