Graphql-shield: Apollo-server 2.0 setup

Question about GraphQL Shield

I'm transitioning to use apollo-server instead of graphql yoga. I don't know how to implement graphql shield permisions middlewares into apollo-server 2.0, are there any examples?

I saw there was one with apollo-server-lambda but im not sure how to do it if i would use the express version.

• [x] I have checked other questions and found none that macthes mine.

Hey @donedgardo 👋,

Thank you for asking such an interesting question. I would say you have two options; 1) You could wait until the PR for graphql-middleware gets merged into the Apollo-Server (apollographql/apollo-server#1799), or 2) use the workaround for applying middleware to schema. You can find more about that in the link below under the _Standalone usage_ section.

I hope this answers your question! 🙂

👍 Awsome!
Will share my solution.

I was also in the similar situation, wanted to connect graphql-shield with apollo-server-lambda, but couldn't find a clear example.

After a few tries, I managed to connect everything via graphql-middleware. I put an example here: https://github.com/doitadrian/example-graphql-shield-apollo-server-lambda

Hope it helps 🙂

@doitadrian this is perfect! Would you mind if I add it to the examples section?
