I’m not seeing how to update this question… I have been trying to send a cookie with those clients I have listed above but it’s not clear to me.

How can I set and send cookie data with GraphiQL and absinthe?

Maybe I’m not asking the right question. I am setting the plug_session with a user_id after a user registers to the application, and then rendering a page that has an SPA on it. That SPA will then make GraphQL requests to the application (under the /api/graphql path). I am not sending any current_user id from the client but rather assuming the plug_session is already set with the user_id. So far this seems to work and I can use it to get the user_id from the session and pass it to the Absinthe context. But how can I work with this configuration using the GraphiQL tool? I have set the interface: :advanced but it’s still not clear to me what I have to do?

Update:

A workaround I am using is adding another scope with its own pipeline in the router. There is a plug that Absinthe.Plug.put_options(conn, context: context) where context is %{ current_user: HardCodedUserGoesHere }
