FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-generate TypeScript types from a GraphQL schema?

To auto-generate TypeScript types from a GraphQL schema, you can use this Skill to execute codegen commands that produce a complete, zero-runtime GraphQL system. It handles project configuration detection, code generation, and optional typegen steps.

What is zero-runtime GraphQL codegen and when do I need it?

Zero-runtime GraphQL codegen is the process of generating type-safe integration code and scaffolding directly from schema files without adding runtime overhead. You need it when you want to automate scaffolding, reduce boilerplate, and validate types during development.

How do I run codegen commands for a soda-gql project?

Running codegen commands for a soda-gql project involves executing the build system to locate your schema files and generate the GraphQL system. The process includes project configuration detection, code generation, error handling, and optional typecheck steps.

Does this GraphQL codegen tool support automated typecheck and validation?

Yes, this GraphQL codegen tool supports automated typecheck and validation. It applies to soda-gql projects managing GraphQL schemas and integrates validation with type generation and checks during your development workflow.

Can I use this codegen Skill to manage multiple GraphQL schemas in one project?

Yes, you can use this codegen Skill to manage multiple GraphQL schemas in one project. It is designed for soda-gql projects that require automated codegen, type generation, and validation across one or more managed schema files.

What are the limitations of using automated GraphQL code generation?

A limitation of this automated GraphQL code generation is that it specifically applies to soda-gql projects. If your project does not match the expected configuration for managing GraphQL schemas, the automated codegen, typegen, and typecheck steps may not execute successfully.
