Library usage

const express = require("express");
const { postgraphile } = require("postgraphile");
const { default: postgraphile-apollo-federation-plugin } = require("postgraphile-apollo-federation-plugin");

const app = express();

app.use(

  })
);

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);

How?

This plugin exposes the Global Object Identification Specification (i.e. Node interface) in a way that's compatible with Apollo Federation.

Requires PostGraphile v4.4.2-rc.0+

Do you need this?

Only use this if you're planning to have your API consumed by Apollo Federation; exposing these redundant interfaces to regular users may be confusing.
