Other Mercurius plugins....

[smolinari]

Hey,

is it possible to add other plugins for Mercurius? I'm interested in the auth, cache and validation plugins. I see the upload and altair plugins are hardcoded. Maybe plugins could be made to be pluginable 😀?

Actually, I'm tending towards just creating a guard within Nest for Authorization. I'm already using a guard for Authentication. Validation can be handled in Nest too. That leaves just cache (currently) that I am interested in adding.

Hey!

yes I saw the mercurius cache plugin and it is quite interesting, we could easliy add a plugins option that simply register the passed plugins to the Fastify instance, but it will be just a "shortcut" to manually call app.register since they are nothing more than Fastify plugins!

Whatever you think is best. I'm glad for anything you can get done. :)

Hi @smolinari
currently I don't have much time to handle this, but PRs are welcome!

I'm a bit tight on time right now too. And currently I'm happy and I need to concentrate on testing for my project. Maybe I can do something in January on this, as I'm very interested in the cache plugin. I'll probably just follow what you have already done in this respect. If more plugins become available and more flexibility is needed, we can change the API.
