Log apollo-server GraphQL query and variables per request

When using apollo-server 2.2.1 or later, how can one log, for each request, the query and the variables?

This seems like a simple requirement and common use case, but the documentation is very vague, and the query object passed to formatResponse no longer has the queryString and variables properties.

Amit's answer works (today), but IMHO it is a bit hacky and it may not work as expected in the future, or it may not work correctly in some scenarios.

For instance, the first thing that I thought when I saw it was: "that may not work if the query is invalid", it turns out that today it does work when the query is invalid. Because with the current implementation the context is evaluated before the the query is validated. However, that's an implementation detail that can change in the future. For instance, what if one day the apollo team decides that it would be a performance win to evaluate the context only after the query has been parsed and validated? That's actually what I was expecting :-)

What I'm trying to say is that if you just want to log something quick in order to debug something in your dev environment, then Amit's solution is definitely the way to go.

However, if what you want is to register logs for a production environment, then using the context function is probably not the best idea. In that case, I would install the graphql-extensions and I would use them for logging, something like:

const { print } = require('graphql');

class BasicLogging {
  requestDidStart({queryString, parsedQuery, variables}) {
    const query = queryString || print(parsedQuery);
    console.log(query);
    console.log(variables);
  }

  willSendResponse({graphqlResponse}) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(graphqlResponse, null, 2));
  }
}

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  extensions: [() => new BasicLogging()]
});

Edit:

As Dan pointed out, there is no need to install the graphql-extensions package because it has been integrated inside the apollo-server-core package.

Dan's solution mostly resolves the problem but if you want to log it without using express, you can capture it in context shown in below sample.

const server = new ApolloServer({
schema,
context: params => () => {
    console.log(params.req.body.query);
    console.log(params.req.body.variables);
}
});

If I had to log the query and variables, I would probably use apollo-server-express, instead of apollo-server, so that I could add a separate express middleware before the graphql one that logged that for me:

const express = require('express')
const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server-express')
const { typeDefs, resolvers } = require('./graphql')

const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers })
const app = express()

app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.use('/graphql', (req, res, next) => {
  console.log(req.body.query)
  console.log(req.body.variables)
  return next()
})

server.applyMiddleware({ app })

app.listen({ port: 4000}, () => {
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`)
})
