graphql-schema-utils

Extensions for graphql-js to support diffing and merging types and schemas.

Getting Started

Install it

npm install --save graphql-schema-utils

Require it

# graphql-js prototypes are automatically extended
require('graphql-schema-utils');

Use it

# Operate on GraphQLSchemas
const thisSchema = buildSchema(...);
const otherSchema = buildSchema(...);
const diffs = schema1.diff(schema2);
const mergedSchema = schema1.merge(schema2);

# Operate on GraphQL types
const thisType = new GraphQLObjectType(...);
const otherType = new GraphQLObjectType(...);
const diffs = thisType.diff(otherType);

GraphQLSchema

• GraphQLSchema
  • .diff(other, [options]) ⇒ Array.<GraphQLDiff>

graphQLSchema.diff(other, [options]) ⇒ Array.<GraphQLDiff>

Reports differences between this GraphQLSchema and another one by diffing all of the types.

Kind: instance method of GraphQLSchema
Returns: Array.<GraphQLDiff> - array of differences between the schemas
