<p><em>Context</em> is a feature in <a href="https://docs.rs/juniper">Juniper</a> that lets <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Language.Fields">field</a> resolvers access global data, most commonly database connections or authentication information.</p>
<p>Let's say that we have a simple <code>User</code>s database in a <code>HashMap</code>:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">#![allow(dead_code)]
</span><span class="boring">use std::collections::HashMap;
</span><span class="boring">
</span>struct Database {
users: HashMap&lt;i32, User&gt;,
}
struct User {
id: i32,
name: String,
friend_ids: Vec&lt;i32&gt;,
}
<span class="boring">
</span><span class="boring">fn main() {}</span></code></pre></pre>
<p>We would like to define a <code>friends</code> <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Language.Fields">field</a> on <code>User</code> that returns a list of <code>User</code> <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Objects">objects</a>. In order to write such a <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Language.Fields">field</a> we need to query a <code>Database</code>. To accomplish this we must first mark the <code>Database</code> as a valid context type and then assign it to the <code>User</code> <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Objects">object</a>. To gain access to the context in the <code>friends</code> <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Language.Fields">field</a>, we need to specify an argument with the same type as the specified context:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">extern crate juniper;
</span><span class="boring">use std::collections::HashMap;
</span><span class="boring">use juniper::graphql_object;
</span><span class="boring">
</span>struct Database {
users: HashMap&lt;i32, User&gt;,
}
// Mark the `Database` as a valid context type for Juniper.
impl juniper::Context for Database {}
struct User {
id: i32,
name: String,
friend_ids: Vec&lt;i32&gt;,
}
#[graphql_object]
#[graphql(context = Database)] // assign `Database` as the context type
impl User {
// Inject the `Database` context by specifying an argument with the
// context type:
// - the type must be a reference;
// - the name of the argument SHOULD be `context` (or `ctx`).
fn friends&lt;'db&gt;(&amp;self, context: &amp;'db Database) -&gt; Vec&lt;&amp;'db User&gt; {
// ^^^^^^^ or `ctx`, up to your preference
self.friend_ids.iter()
.map(|id| {
context.users.get(&amp;id).expect("could not find `User` with ID")
})
.collect()
}
fn friend&lt;'db&gt;(
&amp;self,
id: i32,
// Alternatively, the context argument may be marked with an attribute,
// and thus, named arbitrary.
#[graphql(context)] db: &amp;'db Database,
// ^^^^^^^ or `ctx`, up to your preference
) -&gt; Option&lt;&amp;'db User&gt; {
self.friend_ids.contains(&amp;id).then(|| {
db.users.get(&amp;id).expect("could not find `User` with ID")
})
}

<h3 id="mutating-and-mutable-references"><a class="header" href="#mutating-and-mutable-references">Mutating and mutable references</a></h3>
<p>Context cannot be a mutable reference as <a href="https://spec.graphql.org/October2021#sec-Language.Fields">fields</a> may be resolved concurrently. If something in the context requires a mutable reference, the context type should leverage the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/interior-mutability.html#interior-mutability"><em>interior mutability</em> pattern</a> (e.g. use <code>RwLock</code>, <code>RefCell</code> or similar).</p>
<p>For example, when using async runtime with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_stealing">work stealing</a> (like <a href="https://docs.rs/tokio"><code>tokio</code></a>), which obviously requires thread safety in addition, we will need to use a corresponding async version of <code>RwLock</code>:</p>
<pre><pre class="playground"><code class="language-rust edition2021"><span class="boring">extern crate juniper;
</span><span class="boring">extern crate tokio;
</span><span class="boring">use std::collections::HashMap;
</span><span class="boring">use juniper::graphql_object;
</span>use tokio::sync::RwLock;
struct Database {
requested_count: HashMap&lt;i32, i32&gt;,
}
// Since we cannot directly implement `juniper::Context`
// for `RwLock`, we use the newtype idiom.
struct DatabaseContext(RwLock&lt;Database&gt;);
impl juniper::Context for DatabaseContext {}
struct User {
id: i32,
name: String
}
#[graphql_object]
#[graphql(context = DatabaseContext)]
impl User {
async fn times_requested&lt;'db&gt;(&amp;self, ctx: &amp;'db DatabaseContext) -&gt; i32 {
// Acquire a mutable reference and `.await` if async `RwLock` is used,
// which is necessary if context consists of async operations like
// querying remote databases.
// Obtain base type.
let DatabaseContext(db) = ctx;
// If context is immutable use `.read()` on `RwLock` instead.
let mut db = db.write().await;
// Perform a mutable operation.
db.requested_count
.entry(self.id)
.and_modify(|e| *e += 1)
.or_insert(1)
.clone()
}
fn name(&amp;self) -&gt; &amp;str {
self.name.as_str()
}
fn id(&amp;self) -&gt; i32 {
self.id
}
}

<blockquote>
<p><strong>TIP</strong>: Replace <code>tokio::sync::RwLock</code> with <code>std::sync::RwLock</code> (or similar) if you don't intend to use async resolving.</p>
