Apollo GraphQL Targetted Schema Management

Function Exports

compileSchema(folder='./schema/',resolver_dir="",saveSchema=true, plugin=[])

folder The folder that your schema files are primarily located in. GraphQL files will be stored in this folder.

resolver_dir The folder that your .js resolvers are located in. Default is in the schema folder with the GraphQL files.

saveSchema Determines whether or not the system compiles the GraphQL files into a single file. schema.graphql

plugin Experimental Functionality: Supports any function that accepts a single string parameters and returns a string parameter.

compileExecutableSchema(folder='./schema/',resolver_dir="",exec=function() {},saveSchema=true, plugin=[]

folder The folder that your schema files are primarily located in. GraphQL files will be stored in this folder.

resolver_dir The folder that your .js resolvers are located in. Default is in the schema folder with the GraphQL files.

exec Wrap your {resolvers, typeDefs} inside of a function before exporting the result.

saveSchema Determines whether or not the system compiles the GraphQL files into a single file. schema.graphql

plugin Experimental Functionality: Supports any function that accepts a single string parameters and returns a string parameter.

Internal functions

compileGraphQl(saveSchema,folder='./schema/',resolver_dir="", plugin=[])

Generates the typeRefs object required by makeExecutableSchema

CreateResolvers(resolver_dir="", folder="./schema/")

Generates the resolvers object required by makeExecutableSchema
