User Context

You can pass a UserContext (any IDictionary<string, object?>) to provide access to your specific data. The UserContext is accessible in field resolvers and validation rules.

public class MyGraphQLUserContext : Dictionary<string, object?> { } await schema.ExecuteAsync(_ => { _.Query = "..."; _.UserContext = new MyGraphQLUserContext(); }); public class Query : ObjectGraphType { public Query() { Field<DroidType>("hero") .Resolve(context => { var userContext = context.UserContext as MyGraphQLUserContext; ... }); } }

If you need to access the User from the http request and populate this in validation rules you may need to add a User property to your custom UserContext class and modify your Startup configuration as follows:

 public class MyGraphQLUserContext : Dictionary<string, object?> { public ClaimsPrincipal User { get; set; } public MyGraphQLUserContext(ClaimsPrincipal user) { User = user; } } services.AddGraphQL() .AddUserContextBuilder(httpContext => new MyGraphQLUserContext(httpContext.User));

Please note that the AddUserContextBuilder method above comes from the GraphQL.Server project.
