Filtering Connections in PostGraphile by Tenants

Disclaimer & Compatibility

This plugin targets the beta release of PostGraphile v4.

Bug reports and pull requests are very much welcome.

Multi Tenant Database

The main drawback of Multi Tenant with shared-tables is the need to append the tenant filter condition onto every single query in the application layer. One possible way to isolate tenants is to add tenant_id to every table, and scope every request with that field.

This plugin will filter tables (Connections) by looking for table with column name specified by tenantColumnName at graphileBuildOptions.

Currently, the collections will be filtered by using tenant_id (stored in jwt).

Add the tenant_id in your schema, i.e :

create type store_example.jwt_token as (
  tenant_id text
  role text,
  person_id integer
);

TODO

  • optional tables autofilter by connectionMultiTenantAllowedTables graphileBuildOptions.
  • add test
