Suppose I want to query a list of posts that don’t belong to my currently authenticated user. Can I do something like this, and how would I get the current user’s ID? Do I have to run a separate query first?

posts: allPosts(filter: {
    user: {
      id_not: <current user ID>
    }
  }) {
    id
    title
    body
  }
}

@richeterre yes you need the current user id, then you can do it exactly with that query

Thanks @nilan! Was just wondering whether I could do this in a single query, but apparently not. So using Apollo Client, I would first query the user and then somehow trigger the other query?

Typically with Apollo Client you can do the user query once right after the user logs in

Right, it will rarely change while the user is signed in (only if they edit their settings or something). I’m using Redux already, so I can just throw it into my state 🙂

awesome 🙂

Thank you for the quick support, you guys are doing a fantastic job 🌻

Let me hijack your question, @richeterre : After you get the token back from the signIn mutation, where are you putting it in your own Redux store and how are you telling Apollo to look for it in subsequent requests?

@chicagoboy2011, I store it in

state.auth.token

and look it up for each request using Apollo middleware like so:

networkInterface.use([{
  applyMiddleware(req, next) {
    if (!req.options.headers) {
      req.options.headers = {}
    }

    // Set Authorization header
    const token = store.getState().auth.token
    req.options.headers.authorization = `Bearer ${token}`
    next()
  },
}])

(see http://dev.apollodata.com/core/network.html#networkInterfaceMiddleware)

It worked splendidly -- thank you!!
