graphql-transform-scalars v1.2.1

graphql-transform-scalars

Transform the response of your graphql request with mapper functions for your custom scalar types.

Installation

Install with yarn or npm:

yarn add graphql-transform-scalars

or

npm install graphql-transform-scalars

Usage with graphql-request

With graphql-codegen

import { GraphQLClient } from 'graphql-request';
import fs from 'fs';
import { CalendarDate } from 'calendar-date';
import { getSdkWrapper, TransformCustomScalars } from 'graphql-transform-scalars';
import { getSdk } from './generated/graphql';

// Custom Scalar definition
const customScalarDefinitions = [
    {
        name: 'CalendarDate',
        parseValue: (val: unknown) => new CalendarDate(val as string),
    },
    {
        name: 'DateTime',
        parseValue: (val: unknown) => new Date(val as string),
    },
];

// The base schema is needed to get the Information about the graphql types returned from your request.
const schema = fs.readFileSync('path/to/your/schema.graphql', 'utf8');
const transformScalars = new TransformCustomScalars(schema, customScalarDefinitions);
const sdk = getSdk(new GraphQLClient('url'), getSdkWrapper(this.transformScalars));

You can directly pass your defined GraphQLScalarTypes to the TransformCustomScalars constructor. graphql-scalars has a lot of already pre-defined definitions you can use.

import { GraphQLError, GraphQLScalarType, Kind } from 'graphql';
import { CalendarDate } from 'calendar-date';

export const GraphQLCalendarDate: GraphQLScalarType = new GraphQLScalarType({
    name: 'CalendarDate',
