I need to generate typeScript types for mongoDB using graphql-code-generator and the typescript-mongodb plugin, but I don't understand how to import the directives of that plugin in a nestJS application.
In my backend app (nestJS) the graphql module is defined like this:
import { ApolloDriver, ApolloDriverConfig } from '@nestjs/apollo';
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { GraphQLModule } from '@nestjs/graphql';
@Module({
imports: [
GraphQLModule.forRoot<ApolloDriverConfig>({
driver: ApolloDriver,
typePaths: ['./**/*.graphql']
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}
In the docs of the plugin I see I have to use the directives:
import { makeExecutableSchema } from '@graphql-tools/schema'
import { DIRECTIVES } from '@graphql-codegen/typescript-mongodb'
const schema = makeExecutableSchema({
typeDefs: [
DIRECTIVES
// the rest of your GraphQL types
],
resolvers
})
But I don't get it how to implement this in my nestJS app, which is using GraphQLModule.
npm i @graphql-codegen/cli @graphql-codegen/typescript-mongodb
codegen.ymloverwrite: true
schema: "http://localhost:3000/graphql"
documents: null
generates:
src/generated/graphql.ts:
plugins:
- "typescript"
- "typescript-mongodb"
The above code schema should point to the local GraphQl endpoint. The above code will generate types in src/generated/graphql.ts file
"generate": "graphql-codegen --config codegen.yml"
npm run generate
Note: graphQL server (start:dev) should be running while using generate command
