This repo contains code that enables conversion of graphql schema files (.gql / .graphql) into query template strings.

• Supports mjs and cjs imports
• Supports nested queries and mutation types, if searchTokens is provided
• Currently supports building templates from Mutation and Query types. Templates are built recursively.

Installation

npm i graphql-schema-to-query

For example with a schema file test.graphql

type Query {
    foo: String
    bar: Int
    animals: AnimalQueries
}

type AnimalQueries {
    birds: BirdQueries
    getAnimals(names: [String!]!): [Animal]

}

type BirdQueries {
    parrot: String
    chicken: String
    birdsWithFeathers: [Animal]
}

type Animal {
    name: String
    species: String
}

type Mutation {
    updateBird(id: String): Animal
}

Set your input, output paths and serviceName, then call buildCollection and exportCollection.

import {GqlToTemplate} from 'graphql-schema-to-query'

new GqlToTemplate({
  // Link to your source .gql or .graphql file
  inputPath: "output/test.graphql",
  // Link to folder where files will be saved
  outputPath: "output",
  // Name of your service, this is arbitrary but should not contain hyphens
  serviceName: "BIRD_SERVICE",
  // defaults to ["query", "queries", "mutation", "mutations"]
  //   searchTokens: []
})
  .buildCollection()
  .exportCollection({
    // js or ts
    extension: "ts",
    // logs templates
    debug: true
  })

Produces the following files in the output folder

BIRD_SERVICE__bar.ts
BIRD_SERVICE__birdsWithFeathers.ts
BIRD_SERVICE__chicken.ts
BIRD_SERVICE__foo.ts
BIRD_SERVICE__getAnimals.ts
BIRD_SERVICE__parrot.ts
BIRD_SERVICE__updateBird.ts

with the following contents

export const template = `query BIRD_SERVICE____foo {foo }`
export const template = `query BIRD_SERVICE____bar {bar }`
export const template = `query BIRD_SERVICE__animals__birds__parrot {animals { birds { parrot  } }}`
export const template = `query BIRD_SERVICE__animals__birds__chicken {animals { birds { chicken  } }}`
export const template = `query BIRD_SERVICE__animals__birds__birdsWithFeathers {animals { birds { birdsWithFeathers {name  species } } }}`
export const template = `query BIRD_SERVICE__animals__getAnimals($names: [String!]!) {animals { getAnimals(names: $names) {name  species } }}`
export const template = `mutation BIRD_SERVICE____updateBird($id: String) {updateBird(id: $id) {name  species }}`
