How to use in combination with GraphQL Mesh

[paales]

Hi there! Great software, really appreciated!

We're building a NextJS website where we have created a /api/graphql endpoint with GraphQL Mesh. We've build the application in typescript.

I can programmatically export the schema with the following typescript code:

const { schema } = (async () => getMesh(await findAndParseConfig()))()

Is there a way to hook this into Graphql Code Generator? Of course I'd like to keep the codegen.yml file instead of resorting to some programmatic method

GraphQL Mesh gives you a regular GraphQLSchema which can be used in GraphQL Code Generator without any extra configuration.

You have two options;

First, you can just point to the URL

schema: http://localhost:3000/api/graphql

### OR

Second, you can export schema and point to that file in codegen.yml.

schema.ts

const { schema } = await getMesh(...);
export default schema;

and in codegen.yml

require: ts-node/register
schema: ./schema.ts
...

this was also helpful while integrating with nest.js

I've got it working, had to do something like this, because my modules aren't in commonjs

TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS='{"module":"commonjs"}' yarn graphql-codegen

In my codegen.yml

require:
  - ts-node/register/transpile-only
  - tsconfig-paths/register
schema: ./node/meshSchema.ts

Thanks a lot for pushing me in the right direction!
