Configuring external caching in Apollo v4 about datasource-rest HOT 3 CLOSED

In AS4 there's no longer any magic around how data sources are created. In v3 as you've pointed out, the server cache (and context) were shared with your data sources automatically.

The migration guide explains how to replicate this old behavior if you like:
https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/migration/#datasources

Does that approach fix the issue for you?

I'm not sure the caching docs that you linked to need to concern themselves with RESTDataSource. Maybe the README should mention the cache configuration option and show the migration path?

The caching docs it's not up to date because if I only do what it says, the caching doesn't work

import Keyv from "keyv";
import { KeyvAdapter } from "@apollo/utils.keyvadapter";

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  cache: new KeyvAdapter(new Keyv("redis://user:pass@localhost:6379")), 
});

I have to do the behavior in https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/migration/#datasources
Thanks for the response

@dycor right. What I'm saying is: the article you're linking to is not specific to RESTDataSource (or any data source for that matter). That article pertains to configuring the server's cache. If you choose to share that cache with data sources, that's a different concern. Maybe something we could document here?
