How to add custom error code like 404, 401, 400 with gqlgen + gin?

[karanbangia]

What happened?

Current resolver do not have gin context that means and method only returns err

What did you expect?

Want to have custom error code like ctx.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, responseBody) but gqlgen only handles it by returning array of error, is there any way to solve this?

[UnAfraid]

In GraphQL there is no concept of status codes, all the requests return either 200, or 422 in case of syntax error

GraphQL is sort of protocol-agnostic, so you are correct that it does not provide guidelines for HTTP status codes, but that doesn't mean this implementation of GraphQL over HTTP should not support status codes other than 200 or 422.

http status codes in GraphQL are usually used when the actual grapql layer is unable to respond due to an error like authentication, internal server errors, bad gateway, etc.., but when are inside a resolver, i don't see a reason to respond with particular http status code, if you want to add additional context to an error you can always extend the errors with extensions as mentioned here https://gqlgen.com/reference/errors/
