nestjs-auth-graphql-starter VS graphql-code-generator

If you want Typescript maybe my NestJS starters for TypeORM and MikroORM are more up your alley. (;

As for project setup, something as big as Upwork in a production environment IMHO would be using a framework like NestJS instead of barebones ExpressJS, as it offers more abstractions. If you'd like to see how I implemented all the features an API like that would need, I urge you to check out my NestJS GraphQL w/ authentication boilerplate! It also features REST endpoints if you don't want to use GQL.

I've been using TypeORM for a good while now. I also have a boilerplate where I use it in NestJS, since that's my backend framework of choice, and am currently working on an analog version of that one using MikroORM.

I also have a boilerplate which I can always clone and get started with quickly. This makes it a very streamlined process as it also uses GraphQL-Utils to help me optimize queries with SQL.

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
