graphql-generate-scalar-assets

A small lib to help extract information about scalars from a graphql schema

It iterates through all types and input types and extracts the scalars, whether they are nullable and their descriptions and places them in a module to include and get information about.

This is particularly useful if you would like to autogenerate things like tables or form fields and want them to be auto-configured by the graph schema.

Ideally, this lib is used in combination with saving your schema from your backend. Example in package.json:

"scripts": {
  ...
  "graphql:save-schema": "some-script-to-save-your-schema && npm run graphql:generate-assets",
  "graphql:generate-scalars": "graphql-generate-scalar-assets -s path/to/schema.json --output-path ./src/constants/scalars.js"
  ...

Usage

All options can be seen by running:

graphql-generate-scalar-assets -h

You can do:

import { UserStatuses } from '../path/to/scalars.js';
 
if (UserStatuses.type == "Boolean") {
...

A good amount of this code has been lifted from: graphql-generate-flow-schema-assets this isn't really a fork, so hasn't been forked in the true sense of the word.
