This repository contains a structured testing suite based on a federated schema that covers the Apollo Federation Specification. The federated supergraph is constructued of 3 subgraphs (users
, inventory
and products
) that will be used to test various libraries that support Apollo Federation. The users
and inventory
subgraphs are provided by this repository in addition to the graph router instance. Subgraph implementors should implement the products
schema with the expected data set.
When adding subgraph implementation to be included in the compatibility results, implementations should provide a docker file that can be used with docker compose
. Templates for these files are provided along with examples. See Apollo Federation Subgraph Maintainers Implementation Guide for details.

Following tests are run to verify Federation Spec compliance.
This is a minimum set of functionality to allow for API-side joins and use of entities in other subgraphs.
_service
- support arover subgraph introspect
command (this is the Apollo Federation equivalent of Introspection for subgraphs)- executes
query { _service { sdl } }
and verifies the contents of the SDL
- executes
@key
and_entities
- support defining a single@key
- Below is an example of the single
@key
query that is sent from the graph router to the implementingproducts
subgraph:
- Below is an example of the single
query {
_entities(representations: [{ "__typename": "User", "email": "[email protected]" }]) {
...on User { email name }
}
}
}
@link
(required for Federation v2)- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query { _service { sdl } }
result.
- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
@key
and_entities
- multiple@key
definitions, multiple-fields@key
and a composite object fields@key
- Below is an example of a multiple fields
@key
query that is sent from the graph router to the implementingproducts
subgraph:
- Below is an example of a multiple fields
query {
_entities(representations: [{ "__typename": "DeprecatedProduct", "sku": "apollo-federation-v1", "package": "@apollo/federation-v1" }]) {
...on DeprecatedProduct { sku package reason }
}
}
- Below is an example of a composite object fields
@key
query that is sent from the graph router to the implementingproducts
subgraph:
query {
_entities(representations: [{ "__typename": "ProductResearch", "study": { "caseNumber": "1234" } }]) {
...on ProductResearch { study { caseNumber description } }
}
}
- Below is an example of a multiple
@key
query that is sent from the graph router to the implementingproducts
subgraph:
query {
_entities(representations: [
{ "__typename": "Product", "id: "apollo-federation" },
{ "__typename": "Product", "sku": "federation", "package": "@apollo/federation" },
{ "__typename": "Product", "sku": "studio", "variation": { "id": "platform" } }
]) {
...on Product { id sku }
}
}
@requires
- directive used to provide additional non-key information from one subgraph to the computed fields in another subgraph, should support defining complex fields-
- This will be covered by the subgraph implementors at
Product.createdBy
where they will be expected to provide theUser.averageProductsCreatedPerYear
usingyearsOfEmployment
value provided by theuser
graph and thetotalProductsCreated
value from the implementingproducts
subgraph. Example query that will be sent directly toproducts
subgraph.
- This will be covered by the subgraph implementors at
query ($id: ID!) {
product(id: $id) {
createdBy {
averageProductsCreatedPerYear
email
}
}
}
@provides
- directive used for path denormalization- This will be covered by the subgraph implementors at
Product.createdBy
where they will be expected to provide theUser.totalProductsCreated
to be anything other than 4
- This will be covered by the subgraph implementors at
query ($id: ID!) {
product(id: $id) {
createdBy {
email
totalProductsCreated
}
}
}
@external
- directive used to mark fields as external (defined in other subgraph). This is covered in the tests above.extends
or@extends
- ability to extend the type that is defined in other subgraph- This is covered in the
products
subgraph extension of theUser
- This is covered in the
- Federated Traces version 1 (
ftv1
)- A query with the
apollo-federated-include-trace:ftv1
header will be sent to theproducts
subgraph which should return a value for theextensions.ftv1
in the result. - NOTE: In the initial release of this testing strategy, we will not be validating
ftv1
to ensure it's in the proper format
- A query with the
@tag
- directive used to add arbitrary metadata information to the schema elements. Used by Apollo Contracts to expose different variants of the schema.- Cannot be
@federation__
namespaced - this directive has to be named consistently as@tag
across all the subgraphs - Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query { _service { sdl } }
result.
- Cannot be
@shareable
- directive that provides ability to relax single source of truth for entity fields- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query { _service { sdl } }
result. Must also be able to query shareable types.
- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
@override
- directive used for migrating fields between subgraphs- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query { _service { sdl } }
result. Must also be able to return the value of an overridden field.
- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
@inaccessible
- directive used to hide fields from the supergraph- Cannot be
@federation__
namespaced - this directive has to be named consistently as@inacessible
across all the subgraphs - Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query { _service { sdl } }
result. Must also be able to query inaccessible fields from the Products schema.
- Cannot be
@composeDirective
- directive used to specify custom directives that should be exposed in the Supergraph schema (by default, supergraph schema excludes all custom directives)- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking whether it is applied on the schema object in the
query { service { sdl } }
result and whether the composed directive is applied on theProduct
type.
- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking whether it is applied on the schema object in the
@interfaceObject
- this directive provides meta information to the router that this entity type defined within this subgraph is an interface in the supergraph- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query { _service { sdl } }
result and whether it is applied on a federatedInventory
type. Inventory
should be a valid entity and functionality will be tested through the following query sent to the router.
- Must be seen as a valid schema directive in the SDL returned by the subgraph. Is verified by checking for its inclusion in the
query ($id: ID!) {
inventory(id: $id) {
deprecatedProducts {
sku
reason
}
}
