The Complete Strapi™ Course with Plugins and Deployment - Applying an Auth Scope to GraphQL Operations

The video tutorial explains the process of handling a Post entity response, focusing on the importance of using an authenticated user to perform operations. It covers the login process using JWT tokens, setting up authorization and permissions for authenticated users, and ensuring that only users with the correct permissions can perform certain mutations. The tutorial also discusses the application of policies and middleware in GraphQL mutations, emphasizing the need for explicit permission settings.

What was the initial issue with the post object?

• It was returned as a plain object instead of a Post entity response.

• It was missing a title.

• It was not being saved in the database.

• It was not visible in the admin panel.

What is required to perform an authenticated operation?

• An admin panel access.

• A plain post object.

• A valid JWT token.

• A public user account.

Why is it important to set the correct authorization for mutations?

• To allow public users to access all features.

• To make the application faster.

• To reduce the number of API calls.

• To ensure only authenticated users can perform certain operations.

What happens if the like post capability is disabled for authenticated users?

• The operation is redirected to a public user.

• The operation succeeds without any issues.

• The operation is logged but not executed.

• The operation fails with a forbidden error.

What is the role of policies in GraphQL resolvers?

• To automatically match permissions with REST API routes.

• To provide a way to check user permissions before executing a request.

• To increase the speed of GraphQL queries.

• To allow public users to access all data.

How can you block a request before it reaches the resolver?

• By using a different database.

• By changing the API endpoint.

• By disabling the GraphQL server.

• By implementing a custom policy or middleware.

What is the main focus of the final section of the video?

• Configuring policies and middleware for resolvers.

• Designing a new user interface.

• Setting up a new GraphQL server.

• Configuring the database schema.
