In this commit I add two related features to genqlient: conflict-detection to avoid generating two distinct types with the same name, and an option to specify the type-name genqlient should use for some type. The conflict-detection was pretty simple once I realized I had already written all the code to do it in #70. There was a bunch of wiring, since we now need to keep track of the GraphQL type/selection-set that each type corresponds to, but it was pretty straightforward. This allows us to: - detect and reject if you have really sneaky type-names (there are some examples documented in `names.go`) - more clearly crash if genqlient accidentally generates two conflicting types, and - avoid stack-overflow when handing recursive (input) types (although sadly the poor support for options on input types (#14) makes them difficult to use in many cases; you really need to be able to set `pointer: true`) And with that all set up, the type-naming was also easy! (It doesn't have to get into the core of the type-generator, just plug in where we choose names. The desire for conflict detection was the main reason I hadn't set it up already.) Note that the existing limitation of #70 that the fields have to be in exactly the same order remains (and is now documented as #93); it's not deeply hard to fix but it's surprisingly much work.

For both the
bindingsoption, and the soon-to-be-addedtypenameoption, we validate that two selection sets are equal. Right now we demand that they even have the fields in the same order; ideally we'd allow any equivalent selections. That's surprisingly much work, although it's quite well separated from the rest of the codebase (just modifyselectionsMatchingenerate/validation.go).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
