⚠️

Usage Requirements In order to use this GraphQL Codegen plugin, please make sure that you have GraphQL operations (query / mutation / subscription and fragment) set as documents: … in your codegen.yml.

Without loading your GraphQL operations (query, mutation, subscription and fragment), you won’t see any change in the generated output.

This plugin generates Flow types based on your GraphQLSchema and your GraphQL operations and fragments.

It generates types for your GraphQL documents: Query, Mutation, Subscription and Fragment.

This plugin requires you to use @graphql-codegen/flow as well, because it depends on its types.

Config API Reference

 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         wrapFieldDefinitions: true,
         fieldWrapperValue: 'T | Promise<T>',
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

wrapFieldDefinitions

type: boolean default: false

Set to true in order to wrap field definitions with FieldWrapper. This is useful to allow return types such as Promises and functions.

Usage Examples

Enable wrapping fields
codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         wrapFieldDefinitions: true,
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

onlyEnums

type: boolean default: false

This will cause the generator to emit types for enums only

Usage Examples

Override all definition types
codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...

         onlyEnums: true,
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

onlyOperationTypes

type: boolean default: false

This will cause the generator to emit types for operations only (basically only enums and scalars)

Usage Examples

Override all definition types
codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         onlyOperationTypes: true,
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

Usage Examples

Ignore enum values from schema
codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         ignoreEnumValuesFromSchema: true,
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

wrapEntireFieldDefinitions

type: boolean default: true

Set to true in order to wrap field definitions with EntireFieldWrapper. This is useful to allow return types such as Promises and functions for fields. Differs from wrapFieldDefinitions in that this wraps the entire field definition if i.e. the field is an Array, while wrapFieldDefinitions will wrap every single value inside the array.

entireFieldWrapperValue

type: string default: T | Promise<T> | (() => T | Promise<T>)

Allow to override the type value of EntireFieldWrapper. This wrapper applies outside of Array and Maybe unlike fieldWrapperValue, that will wrap the inner type.

directiveArgumentAndInputFieldMappings

type: DirectiveArgumentAndInputFieldMappings_2

Replaces a GraphQL scalar with a custom type based on the applied directive on an argument or input field.

You can use both module#type and module#namespace#type syntax. Will NOT work with introspected schemas since directives are not exported. Only works with directives on ARGUMENT_DEFINITION or INPUT_FIELD_DEFINITION.

WARNING: Using this option does only change the type definitions.

For actually ensuring that a type is correct at runtime you will have to use schema transforms (e.g. with @graphql-tools/utils mapSchema) that apply those rules! Otherwise, you might end up with a runtime type mismatch which could cause unnoticed bugs or runtime errors.

Please use this configuration option with care!

Usage Examples

Custom Context Type\
codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         directiveArgumentAndInputFieldMappings: {
           AsNumber: 'number',
           AsComplex: './my-models#Complex',
         }
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

directiveArgumentAndInputFieldMappingTypeSuffix

type: string

Adds a suffix to the imported names to prevent name clashes.

Usage Examples

codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         directiveArgumentAndInputFieldMappings: 'Model'
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

   },
 };
 export default config;

scalars

Usage Examples

codegen.ts
 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';

       config: {
         scalars: {
           DateTime: 'Date',
           JSON: '{ [key: string]: any }',
         }
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

namingConvention

type: NamingConvention default: change-case-all#pascalCase

Allow you to override the naming convention of the output. You can either override all namings, or specify an object with specific custom naming convention per output. The format of the converter must be a valid module#method. Allowed values for specific output are: typeNames, enumValues. You can also use “keep” to keep all GraphQL names as-is. Additionally, you can set transformUnderscore to true if you want to override the default behavior, which is to preserve underscores.

Available case functions in change-case-all are camelCase, capitalCase, constantCase, dotCase, headerCase, noCase, paramCase, pascalCase, pathCase, sentenceCase, snakeCase, lowerCase, localeLowerCase, lowerCaseFirst, spongeCase, titleCase, upperCase, localeUpperCase and upperCaseFirst See more

 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {

       },
     },
   },
 };

 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {

dedupeFragments

type: boolean default: false

Removes fragment duplicates for reducing data transfer. It is done by removing sub-fragments imports from fragment definition Instead - all of them are imported to the Operation node.

inlineFragmentTypes

type: string default: inline

Whether fragment types should be inlined into other operations. “inline” is the default behavior and will perform deep inlining fragment types within operation type definitions. “combine” is the previous behavior that uses fragment type references without inlining the types (and might cause issues with deeply nested fragment that uses list types).

emitLegacyCommonJSImports

type: boolean default: true

Emit legacy common js imports. Default it will be true this way it ensure that generated code works with non-compliant bundlers.
