Is it possible to import a graphQL enum from a schema file to a typescript file or they're different kind of beasts?

This is exactly what

graphql-binding

and

prisma-binding

are made for. They will generate typescript code that match your GraphQL types. This enables you to import e.g. enums, input types etc.

Maybe I don't understand something, but I thought bindings are for running queries and mutations as functions inside JS/TS. But I want to create a resolver response where a field is an enum (without re-defining the same enum in JS), e.g.: in

schema.graphql

enum Direction {
  UP
  DOWN
}
type Guide {
  direction: Direction
}
type Query {
  guide: Guide
}

in

Query.ts

// import enum Direction somehow...
return {
  direction: Direction.UP
}
