Vendure GraphQL Reviewing
Purpose
Audit Vendure GraphQL resolvers and schema extensions for violations and anti-patterns.
Review Workflow
Step 1: Identify GraphQL Files
# Find resolver files
find . -name "*.resolver.ts"
# Find schema files
find . -name "schema.ts" -o -name "*.graphql"
Step 2: Run Automated Checks
# === CRITICAL VIOLATIONS ===
# Missing @Ctx() RequestContext
grep -rn "@Query\|@Mutation" --include="*.resolver.ts" -A 5 | grep -v "@Ctx()"
# Missing @Resolver decorator
grep -rn "export class.*Resolver" --include="*.resolver.ts" | grep -v "@Resolver"
# Missing @Allow permissions
grep -rn "@Query\|@Mutation" --include="*.resolver.ts" -A 3 | grep -v "@Allow"
# === HIGH PRIORITY ===
# Direct entity returns (should use DTOs or proper types)
grep -rn "Promise<.*Entity>" --include="*.resolver.ts"
# Missing @Transaction on mutations
grep -rn "@Mutation" --include="*.resolver.ts" -A 2 | grep -v "@Transaction"
# InputMaybe not handled correctly
grep -rn "!== undefined" --include="*.service.ts" | grep -v "&& .* !== null"
# === MEDIUM PRIORITY ===
# Hardcoded permission strings
grep -rn "@Allow(['\"]" --include="*.resolver.ts"
# Missing error handling
grep -rn "async.*@Ctx" --include="*.resolver.ts" -A 10 | grep -v "throw\|catch\|try"
Step 3: Manual Review Checklist
Schema
- Uses gql template literal
- Input types for all mutations
- Proper type definitions
- Admin vs Shop separation clear
- No sensitive fields in Shop API
Resolvers
- @Resolver() decorator present
- @Ctx() ctx: RequestContext on all methods
- @Allow() with appropriate permissions
- @Transaction() on mutations
- Service injection (not direct DB access)
Security
- Shop API doesn't expose admin data
- Owner permission checked for user resources
- Input validation present
- Error messages don't leak sensitive info
Severity Classification
CRITICAL (Must Fix)
- Missing RequestContext parameter
- No permission decorators
- Shop API exposes admin data
- Direct database access in resolvers
HIGH (Should Fix)
- Missing @Transaction on mutations
- InputMaybe not handled correctly
- No error handling
- Entity types returned directly
MEDIUM (Should Fix)
- Missing input validation
- Poor error messages
- Inconsistent naming
Common Violations
1. Missing RequestContext
Violation:
@Query()
@Allow(Permission.ReadSettings)
async myQuery(): Promise<MyEntity[]> { // No ctx!
return this.service.findAll();
}
Fix:
@Query()
@Allow(Permission.ReadSettings)
async myQuery(@Ctx() ctx: RequestContext): Promise<MyEntity[]> {
return this.service.findAll(ctx);
}
2. Missing Permission Decorator
Violation:
@Query()
async myQuery(@Ctx() ctx: RequestContext): Promise<MyEntity[]> {
// No @Allow - anyone can call this!
return this.service.findAll(ctx);
}
Fix:
@Query()
@Allow(Permission.ReadSettings) // Explicit permission
async myQuery(@Ctx() ctx: RequestContext): Promise<MyEntity[]> {
return this.service.findAll(ctx);
}
3. InputMaybe Bug
Violation:
// Only checks undefined, null passes through!
if (input.name !== undefined) {
entity.name = input.name;
}
Fix:
// Check both undefined AND null
if (input.name !== undefined && input.name !== null) {
entity.name = input.name;
}
4. Missing Transaction
Violation:
@Mutation()
@Allow(Permission.UpdateSettings)
async updateData(@Ctx() ctx: RequestContext, @Args() args): Promise<MyEntity> {
// No @Transaction - partial updates possible on error!
await this.service.updateA(ctx, args);
await this.service.updateB(ctx, args); // If this fails, A is updated
}
Fix:
@Mutation()
@Transaction() // Atomic operation
@Allow(Permission.UpdateSettings)
async updateData(@Ctx() ctx: RequestContext, @Args() args): Promise<MyEntity> {
await this.service.updateA(ctx, args);
await this.service.updateB(ctx, args);
}
5. Shop API Leaking Admin Data
Violation:
// Shop schema
const shopSchema = gql`
type User {
id: ID!
email: String!
internalNotes: String! # Admin-only field exposed!
}
`;
Fix:
// Shop schema - limited fields
const shopSchema = gql`
type User {
id: ID!
email: String!
# internalNotes excluded
}
`;
