Authentication

The approach to authentication and row level security were shamelessly borrowed from the postgraphile project, a similar (but much more mature) PostgreSQL to GraphQL project written in Javascript.

Please see their security documentation for best practices when setting up secure auth for api user roles.

For a complete usage, see the row level security example project

Note that JWT identifier and JWT secret can be passed to the nebulo CLI via --jwt-identifier "public.my_jwt" and --jwt-secret "my_jwt_secret" to cause functions returning the JWT type to reflect correctly.

If the JWT type contains a role field, that role will be used to execute SQL statements for authenticated user's requests. Anonymous users' requests execute with the connections default role unless a default role is passed using the --default-role option
