Smart custom endpoint structure

[TorbjornHoltmon]

In our graphql app we need users to be able to download some files, this service had to be built outside of yoga.
We had to repeat some auth integration into a neat rest endpoint to create download urls for users.
I wish we could have stayed within the yoga framework for this integration.

I don´t have any good suggestions how this could be accomplished, but it would have been really nice!

Hi @TorbjornHoltmon !
We have Yoga's HTTP hooks in the plugin system that might help you in this case;

plugins: [
 {
    onRequest({ request, url, fetchAPI, endResponse }) {
       if (url.pathname === '/my-endpoint') {
         // do something
         endResponse(
           new fetchAPI.Response(...),
         )
       }
    }
 }
]

The code above hooks into the HTTP request pipeline of Yoga. Then you can handle incoming requests differently as you wish.
Also remember this uses Fetch API
