Class: AuthenticationError

Defined in: packages/apollo/src/errors/authentication.error.ts:20

Error thrown when the user is not authenticated.

This class was removed in Apollo Server 4.0.0. This implementation provides the same functionality.

Example

@Query()
async sensitiveData(@Context() ctx: MyContext) {
  if (!ctx.user) {
    throw new AuthenticationError('You must be logged in');
  }
  return this.service.getData();
}

Accessors

[toStringTag]

Get Signature

get toStringTag: string;

Defined in: node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:192

Returns the value used by Object.prototype.toString.

Returns

string

The built-in string tag for this object.

Inherited from

GraphQLError.[toStringTag]

Constructors

Constructor

new AuthenticationError(message, options?): AuthenticationError;

Defined in: packages/apollo/src/errors/authentication.error.ts:26

Creates a new AuthenticationError.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
message	string	Error message.
options?	GraphQLErrorOptions	Additional GraphQL error options.

Returns

AuthenticationError

Overrides

GraphQLError.constructor

Methods

toJSON()

toJSON(): GraphQLFormattedError;

Defined in: node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:225

Returns the JSON representation used when this object is serialized.

Returns

GraphQLFormattedError

The JSON-serializable representation.

Example

import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql/error';

const error = new GraphQLError('Resolver failed.', {
  path: ['viewer', 'name'],
  extensions: { code: 'INTERNAL' },
});

error.toJSON(); // => { message: 'Resolver failed.', path: ['viewer', 'name'], extensions: { code: 'INTERNAL' } }

toString()

toString(): string;

Defined in: node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:209

Returns this error as a human-readable message with source locations.

Returns

string

The formatted error string.

Example

import { Source } from 'graphql/language';
import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql/error';

const error = new GraphQLError('Cannot query field "name".', {
  source: new Source('{ name }'),
  positions: [2],
});

error.toString(); // => 'Cannot query field "name".\n\nGraphQL request:1:3\n1 | { name }\n  |   ^'

Inherited from

GraphQLError.toString

captureStackTrace()

Call Signature

static captureStackTrace(targetObject, constructorOpt?): void;

Defined in: node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:51

Creates a .stack property on targetObject, which when accessed returns a string representing the location in the code at which Error.captureStackTrace() was called.

const myObject = {};
Error.captureStackTrace(myObject);
myObject.stack;  // Similar to `new Error().stack`

The first line of the trace will be prefixed with ${myObject.name}: ${myObject.message}.

The optional constructorOpt argument accepts a function. If given, all frames above constructorOpt, including constructorOpt, will be omitted from the generated stack trace.

The constructorOpt argument is useful for hiding implementation details of error generation from the user. For instance:

function a() {
  b();
}

function b() {
  c();
}

function c() {
  // Create an error without stack trace to avoid calculating the stack trace twice.
  const { stackTraceLimit } = Error;
  Error.stackTraceLimit = 0;
  const error = new Error();
  Error.stackTraceLimit = stackTraceLimit;

  // Capture the stack trace above function b
  Error.captureStackTrace(error, b); // Neither function c, nor b is included in the stack trace
  throw error;
}

a();

Property	Modifier	Type	Description	Inherited from	Defined in
cause?	public	unknown	The cause of the error.	GraphQLError.cause	node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es2022.error.d.ts:24
coordinate?	readonly	string	An optional schema coordinate (e.g. "MyType.myField") associated with this error.	GraphQLError.coordinate	node_modules/@graphql-tools/utils/typings/errors.d.ts:19
extensions	readonly	GraphQLErrorExtensions	Extension fields to add to the formatted error.	GraphQLError.extensions	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:90
locations	readonly	readonly SourceLocation[] | undefined	An array of { line, column } locations within the source GraphQL document which correspond to this error. Errors during validation often contain multiple locations, for example to point out two things with the same name. Errors during execution include a single location, the field which produced the error. Enumerable, and appears in the result of JSON.stringify().	ForbiddenError.locations	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:65
message	public	string	-	GraphQLError.message	node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1075
name	public	string	-	GraphQLError.name	node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1074
nodes	readonly	readonly ASTNode[] | undefined	An array of GraphQL AST Nodes corresponding to this error.	ForbiddenError.nodes	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:74
originalError	readonly	Error | undefined	Original error that caused this GraphQLError, if one exists.	ForbiddenError.originalError	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:88
path	readonly	readonly (string | number)[] | undefined	An array describing the JSON-path into the execution response which corresponds to this error. Only included for errors during execution. Enumerable, and appears in the result of JSON.stringify().	ForbiddenError.path	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:72
positions	readonly	readonly number[] | undefined	An array of character offsets within the source GraphQL document which correspond to this error.	ForbiddenError.positions	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:86
source	readonly	Source | undefined	The source GraphQL document for the first location of this error. Note that if this Error represents more than one node, the source may not represent nodes after the first node.	ForbiddenError.source	node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.d.ts:81
stack?	public	string	-	GraphQLError.stack	node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es5.d.ts:1076
stackTraceLimit	static	number	The Error.stackTraceLimit property specifies the number of stack frames collected by a stack trace (whether generated by new Error().stack or Error.captureStackTrace(obj)). The default value is 10 but may be set to any valid JavaScript number. Changes will affect any stack trace captured after the value has been changed. If set to a non-number value, or set to a negative number, stack traces will not capture any frames.	GraphQLError.stackTraceLimit	node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts:67
