Usage with "GraphQL Code Generator"

[Alex-Ferreli]

Hi, this plugin it's awesome! I'm able to get it working with @apollo/client with a custom ApolloLink as suggested in documentation.

It's also possible to make GraphQL Code Generator generate right types? I'm using it to generate Typescript types and React Hooks.

typescript-operations is the plugin that generate types, maybe should be possible to pass graphql-lodash custom directives and use them to generate right the types.

Some advice on how to do it?

@Alex-Ferreli This is an experimental plugin, so I don't expect tools like "GraphQL Code Generator" supporting.
Personally never used "GraphQL Code Generator" myself so can't offer help or advice.
I Will keep this issue open so maybe someone from the community can help you.

It would be great to have this feature.

Ye, code gen is so fantastic!!

I wonder what would be needed to get this plugin out of experimental and into "YE BOI!!"

GraphQL Codegen allows you to specify a custom loader which returns the schema. You can extend the schema before returning it from the custom loader.

I can't edit my schema, it's autogenerated (by Hasura in this case). How can i add those custom directives to an existing schema? Could you provide an example please?

Hasura looks like it's just a server-side tool. If your UI is using a schema generated by the server, there must be some point of introspection on the UI side where you can extend the schema returned from the server.

I have no experience with different GraphQL tools, I just know the ones I used, but I expect it's at least somewhat similar.
