@sdl-codegen/node NPM

This project is for creating the .d.ts files for codebases where you have SDL like:

export const schema = gql`
    type Game {
        id: ID!
        homeTeamID: Int!
        awayTeamID: Int!
        homeTeamScore: Int!
        awayTeamScore: Int!
    }

    type Query {
        games: [Game!]! @skipAuth
        upcomingGames: [Game!]! @skipAuth
        game(id: ID!): Game @requireAuth
    }
`

Then separately, you write functions like:

export const games = () => db.game.findMany({ orderBy: { startDateTime: "asc" } })

export const upcomingGames = () => db.game.findMany({ isCompleted: false, startDateTime: { gt: new Date() } })

export const game = ({ id }) => db.game.findUnique({ where: { id } })

This repo will create .d.ts files which very accurately, and very concisely represent the runtime for these functions. It's goal is to take all of the possible logic which might happen in the TypeScript type system, and pre-bake that into the output of the .d.ts files.

You could think of it as a smaller, more singular focused version of the mature and well-featured graphql-codgen.

Vision

This repo provides the APIs for building a codegen for framework authors, and the goal is not to provide a CLI for a generalized use-case.

It is currently available inside RedwoodJS as an option for experimental SDL code generation.

Pipeline

This app is architected as a pipeline of sorts. Here's the rough stages:

Get inputs: GraphQL schema, the source files to represent, Prisma dmmf and dts output config
Parse inputs: Parse the GraphQL schema, parse source files into facts about the code, parse the Prisma dmmf
Centralize data: Keep a central store of all of these things, and have specific updaters so that a watcher can be built.
Generate outputs: Generate .d.ts files for the files we want to generate them for

It's still a bit of a work in progress to have these discrete steps, but it's getting there.
