graphql-tools-merge-typedefs
This library is used to merge GraphQL query, mutation, and subscription type definitions that are specified in separate files.
Installation
npm install graphql-tools-merge-typedefs
or
yarn add graphql-tools-merge-typedefs
Usage
Imagine the following schema definition file named customer-schema.js
:
const { gql } = require('apollo-server');
const customersData = require('./json/customers.json');
exports.typeDefs = gql`
type Customer {
id: ID!
firstName: String!
lastName: String!
}
type Query {
customer(id: ID!): Customer
}
`;
exports.resolvers = {
Query: {
customer: (obj, args) => customersData.find(customer => customer.id === args.id)
}
};
And another schema definition file named order-schema.js
:
const { gql } = require('apollo-server');
const ordersData = require('./json/orders.json');
const order = gql`
type Order {
id: ID!
product: String!
quantity: Int!
}
`;
const query = gql`
type Query {
order(id: ID!): Order
}
`;
// you can also export an array of querys
exports.typeDefs = [ order, query ]
exports.resolvers = {
Query: {
order: (obj, args) => ordersData.find(order => order.id === args.id)
}
};
Merging these two files using the graphql-tools makeExecutableSchema
function would result in a merge conflict since both customer-schema.js
and order-schema.js
files include a "Query" definition. However, using graphql-tools-merge-typedefs
, these definitions can be merged as follows:
const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server');
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('graphql-tools');
const { mergeTypeDefs } = require('graphql-tools-merge-typedefs');
const customerSchema = require('./customer-schema');
const orderSchema = require('./order-schema');
// merge conflicting "Query", "Mutation", and "Subscription" definitions
const typeDefs = mergeTypeDefs([
customerSchema.typeDefs,
orderSchema.typeDefs
]);
const resolvers = [
customerSchema.resolvers,
orderSchema.resolvers
];
const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers });
const server = new ApolloServer({ schema });
server.listen().then(({ url }) => console.log(`Listening on port ${url}`));
If you need to merge typeDefs other than Query
, Mutation
, and Subscription
definitions something you can pass in your own custom type(s) by passing in a string or an array of strings
const gql = require('graphql-tag')
const { mergeTypeDefs } = require('graphql-tools-merge-typedefs');
const typeDefs = mergeTypeDefs([
customerSchema.typeDefs,
orderSchema.typeDefs
], 'Local');
