Installation

To install the package globally on your system, run:

Usage

Once installed, you can use the tool to fetch a schema from a GraphQL endpoint and save it to a file:

fetch-graphql-schema <graphql-endpoint-url> -o <output-file-path>

Example

To fetch a schema from https://example.com/graphql and save it as schema.graphql:

fetch-graphql-schema https://example.com/graphql -o schema.graphql

If no output path is specified, the default output file will be schema.graphql in the current directory.

Options

• <graphql-endpoint-url>: The URL of the GraphQL endpoint from which to fetch the schema.
• -o, --output: Specifies the output file path. If omitted, the schema will be saved to schema.graphql in the current directory.

Error Handling

• If the provided URL is missing or invalid, an error will be thrown:
  • (missing)Please provide a valid GraphQL endpoint URL.
  • (invalid)Invalid GraphQL endpoint URL.
• If the output path is a directory instead of a file, an error will be thrown: The output path is a directory. Please provide a file name.
