Overview

It can be difficult maintaining a graphql system that with consistent structure and shape. Code standards and organizational patterns can become complex. This produces everything in a fixed organizational structure, which should help make things a bit better.

Install

You can install this package as a dev dep, or you can install it globally.

NPM

npm i --save-dev graphql-scaffold

Yarn

yarn add -D graphql-scaffold

Use

Add the following to your package.json scripts:

"scaffold": "graphql-scaffold --resolver"

Assume that you have the following schema:

# src/graphql/schemas/queries/getSomething/schema.graphql
type Query {
  getSomething: String
}

Running npm run scaffold getSomething will generate resolvers, tests, authorizers, and an export chain for all of those and the schema.

Extended Use

The following flags are now available for convenience, by adding a top level .gqlScaffold.json file.

{
  "beforeCommands": ["npm run generate-graphql-types"],   # default: []
  "afterCommands": ["npm run prettier-diff"],             # default: []
  "baseFilePath": "src/graphql-retail",                   # default: '.'
  "testType": "test"                                      # default: 'spec'
}

This can be useful if, for example, you need to ensure that graphql typing is up to date prior to execution.
