10/19/2017, 10:11 PMWhat is event.context.graphcool.pat? How can I access my actual tokens from within functions?
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:13 PMSo the pat is temporary for a function instance...I just need access to my actually created tokens

10/19/2017, 10:16 PMWhich token do you want to access?

10/19/2017, 10:16 PMI have a token called:

10/19/2017, 10:17 PMYou're using the Framework Preview right?
l
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:17 PMYes I believe so, I have an ejected project and I'm using the beta...
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:17 PMYes, that's what I meant
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:18 PMIf you specify a rootToken for a function in your project file, you will get that specific token in your context.

lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:18 PMI see
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:18 PMBy the way, use event.context.graphcool.rootToken, pat will be deprecated
l
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:18 PMDocumentation for the rootToken yml?
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:18 PMIf you don't specify a rootToken for your function, you will get an automatically generated one
l
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:18 PMSo if I specify it, I can use event.context.graphcool.rootToken?
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:20 PMIn both cases, you can use e.c.g.rootToken yes
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:20 PMIn most cases, you don't have to specify it though. What would be your use case for using a named token?
l
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:21 PMI need the same rootToken across function instances and different functions, because I'm using the tokens as secret keys for signing JWTs
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:21 PMI sign in one function and then verify in another function
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:21 PMGreat use case
l
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:22 PMSo how would I specify the rootToken here:
Copy code

type: resolver
schema: ./functions/assignment-lti-grade/assignment-lti-grade.graphqllastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:22 PMSorry, I'm just wondering where to put that in the yml
lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:23 PMI don't see it in the schema: https://github.com/graphcool/graphcool-json-schema/blob/master/src/schema.json
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:23 PMTrying to find the docs for you...
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:24 PM Copy code

authenticteCustomer:
handler:
code:
src: ./code/authenticate.js
context:

10/19/2017, 10:26 PMBut you're right about the schema, so now I'm starting to have doubts whether that's actually already implemented like this...

lastmjs
10/19/2017, 10:29 PMI think it's working, I'll let you know

10/19/2017, 10:45 PMsoon it'll be possible to disable this

10/19/2017, 10:46 PMwhat I said is true for all functions, old or new
a
agartha
10/19/2017, 10:46 PMSo that's a breaking regression?

10/20/2017, 1:11 AMWhat is the use case to disable or add a specific token? @nilan
a
agartha
10/20/2017, 1:46 AM@Tavo Adding a specific token is mostly relevant when you either have two functions that need the same token (like @lastmjs described above), or if you use a webhook that expects a specific token (shared secret approach). Disabling might be useful if you don't want to send a rootToken to an external webhook that you specify.

Tavo
10/20/2017, 1:55 AM@agartha thanks for the reply, correct me if I’m wrong but a rootToken is a token where you get from another service to interact with that service in a graphcool function and PAT is a token to interact with graphcool’s server
a
agartha
10/20/2017, 2:35 AMNo rootToken == pat, the terminology changed a bit. Both are full API access tokens to access your Graphcool endpoints from a function.
t
Tavo
10/20/2017, 4:47 AMBoth are full API access tokens? I thought those tokens are created automatically when the function starts?
