schema stitching

[bboure]

We recently merged #227 which adds a great addition to the plugin.
However, I just realized that it relies on a deprecated package: https://github.com/okgrow/merge-graphql-schemas

I suggest, we refactor the PR and use Appolo Stitching instead.

@trilliput would you have time to have a look at this?

Sorry, I've missed, that merge-grahpql-schemas is deprecated. I'll take a look. No EDD yet.

👍 Let us know if we can help

[shmygol]

@bboure I'll definitely do it, feel free to assign the issue to me. I'm just not sure when exactly. Approximately this weekend.

@bboure How far are you with integrating Amplify CLI https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/tree/master/packages/amplify-category-api? It looks promising and if you're already working on integrating it, we might avoid one more intermediate step and concentrate our efforts on Amplify CLI. I'd be glad to help here as well.

@trilliput There is no integration to Amplify CLI on the roadmap yet

There are definitely things that we could explore and that were discussed already, like GraphQL Transformation, for generating resources, data sources and mapping templates.

#62
#211
#151

There is also Codegen

Maybe we could use it somehow under the hood to auto generate

• Statements
• types

Optionaly, we could add something on top of AWS-cli that does the equivalent of amplify api gql-compile in the package you are refering to, but for serverless (this plugin).

All ideas and PRS are welcome :)

Does this mean we cannot use the extend keyword used in Apollo Stitching?

I believe we basically need this to convert Apollo schemas into AppSync version.

Dug very deep on Sunday and made appsync-schema-converter.

I don't think I can finish it on my own, looking for contributors to cover all directives and edge cases.

Closing this issue as merge-graphql-schemas is now back into maintenance...
... And Apollo deprecated their own Schema Stitching ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
