How to make permission extensions like IsAuthenticated have a code field?

[samvv]

Hi,

The web client I'm developing needs to know why a certain request was rejected by the server, so that it can log the user out if it is an authentication issue. This is in the context of the auth library.

Is it possible to add something like a code field to the error object with a potential value of auth_required? Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Sam

I just realized I might be able to solve this by extracting the JWT logic out of the GraphQL application.

Quoting @nrbnlulu here, as he is the author of the lib 😊

Hi, permissions are a non-goal for gqlauth as stated in the docs. so it would never interfere with your logic for who is able to fetch what..
gqlauth helps with authentication, for authorization you can follow any strawberry pattern you'd like.
