Is it documented anywhere that $context is set to Auth::user() by default?

I had trouble trying to find where $context was assigned to Auth::user() by default.

Are there any docs, or should there be for this?

Hi, maybe here u can find some info about it #1126

I had trouble trying to find where $context was assigned to Auth::user() by default.

That's coming from AddAuthUserContextValueMiddleware which by default is added via execution_middleware in the config

graphql-laravel/config/config.php

Line 227 in d1be5a6

Rebing\GraphQL\Support\ExecutionMiddleware\AddAuthUserContextValueMiddleware::class,

You can remove or replace this execution middleware and inject into your resolver whatever you need.

so we have to remove it in our downloaded version of the library (i.e. the downloaded folder from composer) or is there another way we do it?

This config is the blueprint being installed when you install the package and you can freely adapt it.

@mfn for our project we put vendor/ in the gitignore. So we are installing the dependencies on the fly per update to the container we host on. Is there a way to change this without having to commit the vendor folder and use that as a part of the deployment?

[mfn]

Please follow the docs regarding installation, specifically this part:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rebing\GraphQL\GraphQLServiceProvider"

This will create the file config/graphql.php in your project which you can freely modify. No vendor/ or similar changes involved.
