Hi all, I use graphql-import to import generated schema by graphqlgen. I want to add some fields to the imported types. Is there a way? I couldn't find anything on the subject

I can't understand your question. graphqlgen generates types for resolvers and scaffold type safe resolver. I doesn't generate any schema I believe

You are right, it does not. My mistake. I guess prisma-client generates it. I have the following config:

If you want to add some fields then you need to redefine that field in your schema file and then resolve those custom things in the server

The thing is that the schema is auto-generated. If I change something in the generated file, it will be overwritten. I want to extend the schema somehow. Does that make sense to you?

ok if you want to extend a type then you can use apollo server's extend feature.https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphql-tools/generate-schema.html#extend-types

right, so I extend the type, and then I need to write the custom resolver.

Yes you need to resolve that particular field 🙂

yes, right, ok

Ask 🙂

Is there a way to add some custom metadata properties to the schema, say additional validation rules, properties that can be accessed by the frontend

You can add validation in resolvers. I don't believe there is any way to add meta data.

on the backend yes, I want to frontend to be aware of the additional metadata. One way - a hack - is to use the description field

done. Thank you for your time 🙂

Just realised I need to update my paypal me pic 😂

that's fair 🙂
