I’m trying to figure out how to “connect” my KotlinDataLoader and my custom context derived from SpringGraphQLContext. Is there any way to use the custom context from the dataloader itself?

see https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin/discussions/1145

*context is accessible from data fetching env

[Martin Brehovsky]

Thanks. Just to make sure I understand the discussion well - in the case I need DataFetchingEnvironment, I cannot use KotlinDataLoader, but I have to build a DataFetcher and then deal with the registration myself?

[Dariusz Kuc]

kotlin data loader is an abstraction over basic data loader

[Dariusz Kuc]

What Shane was saying is that you can access the data fetching env/context from a method that invokes the data loader

edit: discussion was showing an example with custom data fetcher for late init field

[Martin Brehovsky]

Thanks, I need to wrap my head around it a bit more. Will likely ask more questions 🙂

[Dariusz Kuc]

ah actually the response there is to use custom data fetcher (that invokes the data loader) for the late init field
