let me answer myself

Falci · Answer

For queries and mutations I can access the session with this

Falci · Answer

For Subscriptions there are no headers cookies for `ws ` so it can t `verifySession`

Falci · Answer

I just realised I don t really need to access the current user on the subscription resolvers Just luck

Falci · Answer

if you really need that the key is create a query that returns the user id and on the client use this ID in the URL for the websocket `ws localhost 4000 graphql user= `

hmm I see Yea websocket auth is totally different Probably would want to use the session handle instead of the userId

Or a JWT and verify that on each websocket message

That approach would work but Apollo subscriptions using web sockets let you pass an additional `connectionParams` that can be accessed in your subscriptions and then added to the context passed to your resolvers The Apollo documentation contains a small albeit slightly confusing example of this https www apollographql com docs apollo server data subscriptions operation context Not sure if thats more complex than what you came up with for your use case but looks like thats how its intended to work
