apollo-codegen-webpack-plugin v0.5.1

Apollo Codegen Webpack Plugin

This plugin helps you run the apollo-tooling module using webpack without having to wire them together in a single process or running the two processes manually. It also handles the extraction of a schema file for you to be used in apollo-cache's IntrospectionFragmentMatcher for instance. It does this by attaching into webpack compilation hooks.

On startup this plugin will:

• Extract schema file from endpoint
• Do an initial codegen based on that schema.json on all the files that you target with the included option

On a file change this plugin will:

• Generate types based on the schema.json for changed files that match the included option

Installing 💾

npm i -D apollo-codegen-webpack-plugin

Or when using yarn:

yarn add -D apollo-codegen-webpack-plugin

Usage 🕹

Multiple installations of graphql 📦

You may end up with some errors in your console about running multiple installations of graphql. To fix this for yarn, you can stick this in your package.json:

"resolutions": {
    "graphql": // your desired version
}

To fix this with npm, you can look at an equivalent like: https://github.com/rogeriochaves/npm-force-resolutions
