graphql-code-generator VS TypeGraphQL

The @graphql-codegen library is a bridge between your GraphQL schema and the actual code you write. It automates the generation of boilerplate code, ensuring that your data fetching layer is always up to date with your content structure.

In typescript and typescript-resolvers plugin v4.0.1, we have reverted the default ID Scalar input type to string. Read the pull request for more details.

See https://github.com/dotansimha/graphql-code-generator with @graphql-codegen/typescript-graphql-request plugin

Graphql Codegen is a code generation library for GraphQL that enables developers to generate custom code. It provides us developers with the ability to generate type definitions, query builders, documentation, and more by analyzing our GraphQL schemas. This makes it easier and faster to build GraphQL applications and reduces the time spent coding.

It is already incoming, with an example in the repository. 😇 https://github.com/dotansimha/graphql-code-generator/pull/8863

The actual package is @ graphql-codegen/cli

GraphQL Codegen generates frontend types and React hooks from our GraphQL request definitions.

There are two main approaches to keeping the types of the GraphQL schema and entities in business logic in sync. You can generate the schema based on your TypeScript code (e.g. TypeGraphQL), or you can generate types based on your schema (e.g. GraphQL Code Generator). We opted for the latter since it slotted right into our existing GraphQL server implementation using Apollo Server.

For querying in React make sure you use GraphQL code generator https://www.the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen

In this tutorial, we're building a simple application which uses Cerbos inside of a GraphQL server. The server is written in typescript and uses type-graphql to create the schema and resolvers, and TypeDI to handle dependency injection.

Using decorators required setting an --experimentalDecorators experimental compiler flag. Several popular TypeScript libraries, such as type-graphql and inversify, rely on this implementation.

TypeGraphQL

Have you tried TypeGraphQL v2 (it's in beta). Some in this thread have reported success with it.

When moving away from Apollo Server, and you're looking for a replacement built with JavaScript or TypeScript, let me give you some options. If you want to keep building your GraphQL API schema first, you might want to consider Mercurius (which relies on Fastify) or GraphQL Yoga. If you're going to build your GraphQL API code or resolver first, have a look at TypeGraphQL or Nexus. Alternatively, there are great GraphQL-as-a-Service solutions such as StepZen in case you no longer want to build, maintain and host your own GraphQL API.

I've used tools (e.g. TypeGraphQL) in the past, and for smaller schemas I've just manually written the schema.

I'll be honest and say I don't think python is the right language to implement graphql. It's possible of course and if you're looking for a graphene tutorial, I'm sure you can find one (and I'll help you evaluate one, if you'd like). I'd personally go with node.js, typescript, and typegraphql.

Foal's dependencies have been updated so as to support the latest version of TypeGraphQL.
