Hey there .. I'm using this package https://www.npmjs.com/package/@playlyfe/gql in a VSCode plugin to allow for highlighting and autocomplete in graphql schema, but since

graphcool

only downloads custom-created types, the schema can't seem to find interfaces like

Node

and type

DateTime

. Is there a way around this? Does graphcool have some basic schema which can be provided to allow for this to work? Thanks.

@kudlajz hey there! Have a look here: https://www.graph.cool/docs/faq/graphql-how-to-download-graphql-idl-schema-maiv5eekan/ 🙂

Thank you! Will try that now. Will this download my whole schema into this file, including all my types?

exactly

I was just about to say that LOL

😂

OMG, I literally was just about to past that URL here now!

oh, I just created it

I went and looked at the open issues to see if it was already there ::)

hahaha

Yeah I saw #82 and #84 (mine) which are somehow related

good point

Yeah I'll give you that!

ah, did you try using the

--output

option?

No!

or does it only accept

.graphcool

But does output work on push?

I think the

.graphcool

extension is currently required for many commands, so even if

--output

works, it won't work for other commands

Exactly

no but

graphcool push <file>

works

Even with a custom extension?

I did not try 😛

I think downloading the IDL schéma will resolve my issue for now anyways

in any case we should think about ways to support this

True, but the IDL schema is read-only just for supporting the IDE plugin (and validation)

@nilan Now I'm getting duplicate type declaration errors, since there's

File

and

User

type in both

schema.graphql

and

project.graphql

.. how to proceed here? I can't modify the original schema.

can you configure the package to only parse one file?

Yes, I can .. hmm, why didn't I think of that! Thanks, I'll try that 🙂
