Generate general type file

[KammererTob]

Hey,

thanks for the great project. I am currently moving over from client-preset and until now it works really great. There is one question, which i was unable to find an answer to: Is there a way to generate types from our graphql schema that can be used in other places of our code? Or is/will this not be the responsibility of this library? In client-preset you could import the types you needed (for example enums) and use them normally in your code (i.e. without any query/mutation).
Here is a more specific example of what i mean:

        <div class="row">
          <custom-select
            v-model="addition.type"
            :options="Object.values(AdditionType)"
            label="Type"
            class="col input-required"
          />
        </div>
        
        <script setup>
        import { AdditionType } from '@/graphql/generated/graphql'
        ...
        </script>

AdditionType is an enum and if i for example want the user to be able to select from one of the values. It would be nice to have this automatically generated from the GraphQL schema, so the list is always up-to-date.

I assume one option would be to use the graphql-codegen project and instead use the typescript preset instead of the client-preset one. From reading the docs this should only generate the types for me.

You can still import scalar, enum, and input types with the graphql.scalar helper https://gql-tada.0no.co/reference/gql-tada-api#graphql-scalar for full-types we encourage folks to use fragment co-location.

graphql.scalar also allows inferring input-types and if it's not a literal input-type you can use VariablesOf yes

Perfect. Thank you. I will experiment.

And another question if i may: Is there a way to change the enum generation to be a TS enum instead of a union? I don't think we can enumerate all possible enum options from a union type, or am i wrong?
i.e. something like this:

type Division = ReturnType<
  typeof graphql.scalar<'Division'>
>;

export const divisionOptions = map(Object.values(Division), (division) => ({
  value: division,
  label: startCase(toLower(division)),
}))

[JoviDeCroock]

No, we don't return enums as enums are actually also valid JS-Objects so I don't think we can generate those

maybe we have to use grapqhql-codegen to genereated this?
