Character Limit Plugin

Limit number of characters in a GraphQL query document.

This plugin helps you to prevent DoS attacks by hard-limiting the size of the query document.

How to use?

Install the plugin:

npm install @escape.tech/graphql-armor-character-limit

yarn add @escape.tech/graphql-armor-character-limit

pnpm add @escape.tech/graphql-armor-character-limit

bun add @escape.tech/graphql-armor-character-limit

Then, add it to your plugins:

gateway.config.ts

import { characterLimitPlugin } from "@escape.tech/graphql-armor-character-limit";
import { defineConfig } from "@graphql-hive/gateway";

export const gatewayConfig = defineConfig({
  plugins: () => [
    characterLimitPlugin({
      maxLength: 15000, // Number of characters allowed | Default: 15000
    }),
  ],
});
