Context object not typed on rule arguments

Question about GraphQL Shield

When using graphql-shield in conjunction with apollo-server, it seems like the type of the context provided to apollo-server is not automatically forwarded into the rule definition context. I can manually set the context type on each rule of course, but I wonder if there's maybe just something I'm missing. Should this just work?

Thank you.

Hi @sreuter!

Thank you for becoming a backer of GraphQL Shield! You are not missing anything. GraphQL Shield relies on GraphQL Middleware and GraphQL Middleware is netural when it comes to servers. That's why we don't automatically derive the type of the context from your server.

I've been planning on making GraphQL Shield type-safe, which includes context, for some time. Some things, behind the scenes, have started steering this boat in the right direction, and your sponsorship is definitely a big contribution on that part. I'll let you know when this feature roles out.

For the time being, I suggest we keep it this issue open for future references.
