GraphQL Code Generator is a tool that generates code out of your GraphQL schema. Whether you are
developing a frontend or backend, you can utilize GraphQL Code Generator to generate output from
your GraphQL Schema and GraphQL Documents (query/mutation/subscription/fragment).

By analyzing the schema and documents and parsing it, GraphQL Code Generator can output code at a
wide variety of formats, based on pre-defined templates or based on custom user-defined ones.
Regardless of the language that you're using, GraphQL Code Generator has you covered.

GraphQL Code Generator lets you choose the output that you need, based on _plugins_, which are very
flexible and customizable. You can also write your _plugins_ to generate custom outputs that match
your needs.

You can try this tool live on your browser and see some useful examples. Check out
[GraphQL Code Generator Live Examples](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen/#live-demo).

We currently support and maintain [these plugins](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen/plugins)
(TypeScript, Flow, React, Angular, MongoDB, Stencil, Reason, and some more), and there is an active
community that writes and maintains custom plugins.

## Quick Start

> You can find the complete instructions in
> [GraphQL Code Generator website](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen/docs/getting-started/installation).

Start by installing the basic deps of GraphQL Codegen:

```bash
pnpm add graphql
pnpm add -D @graphql-codegen/cli
```

GraphQL Code Generator lets you setup everything by simply running the following command:

```bash
pnpm graphql-codegen init
```

Question by question, it will guide you through the whole process of setting up a schema, selecting
plugins, picking a destination of a generated file, and a lot more.

If you wish to
[manually setup codegen, follow these instructions](https://the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen/docs/getting-started/installation).
