graphql-modules VS graphql-code-generator

Second a NextJS app is deployed to Vercel containing a GraphQL server function. This is an Apollo server that consumes the halo-graphql package using GraphQL Modules. The server also implements caching and rate limiting using GraphQL Shield.

merge-graphql-schemas will be added to the existing Schema management tools already created by The Guild (GraphQL-Toolkit, GraphQL Modules, GraphQL Inspector and graphql-code-generator)

In order to use GraphQL in our Angular applications, we created Angular Apollo. To automate and increase type-safety, we open-sourced GraphQL Code Generator. Most recent thing was GraphQL Modules that helped us to separate a server into smaller, reusable, feature based parts. All of that was developed based on the experience and used with huge success by our clients.

Forcing people out of a way of developing is always hard and we’ve got questions from you about how to solve some specific issues — so in this blog post and new doc section we will help you understand why this was a bad practice and how to migrate from it with different use cases.

Richer error messages, new DI gives you more details about what went wrong.

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
