[nexus] Input types generation as a file

[durdenx]

Hi,
Thanks for the lib!

Is it possible to generate nexus input types as a file instead of runtime generation? We want to customize the default input types. It would be great if the generator generated input types alongside other files (types, query and mutations).

Hi by version 3.3.1 you can customize your inputs by adding new options to the paljs plugin

import { makeSchema } from 'nexus'
import * as types from './types'
import { paljs } from '@paljs/nexus'
import { join } from 'path'

export const schema = makeSchema({
  types,
  nonNullDefaults: {
    output: true,
  },
  plugins: [
    paljs({
// exclude all fields with this names from any input
      excludeFields: [
        'password',
        'passwordResetToken',
        'tokenValidDate',
        'passResetExpires',
      ],
// take the input and make your filters then return the fields you want to add 
filterInputs: (input: DMMF.InputType) => input.fields.filter(field => filed.name !== 'password');
    }),
  ],
  outputs: {
    schema: join(__dirname, '../src/generated/schema.graphql'),
    typegen: join(__dirname, '../src/generated/nexus.ts'),
  },
  contextType: {
    module: join(__dirname, 'context.ts'),
    export: 'Context',
  },
})
