Prisma

is there an easy way to take a schema defined in SDL and convert it to a .js file? I know the graphql-cli can do it, but seems like only via an introspection query to a running server. Any way to do it based on just the SDL?

the schema generation workflow of `graphql-cli` has two steps:
1. `graphql get-schema` - this is essentially the introspection against a running server
2. `graphql codegen` - this needs a `.graphql` file as input, and doesn't require a running server.

thanks! maybe it’d help if I explain what I’m after… I’m experimenting with the codgen via graphql-binding. the “input” argument for that command needs to be .js file. How do I get a JS file using just an SDL?

I just lined that out above - or maybe I am misunderstanding something? :slightly_smiling_face:

<https://github.com/graphql-boilerplates/typescript-graphql-server/blob/master/advanced/.graphqlconfig.yml#L7-L15>

this takes the `.graphql` file and generates the `.ts` file

I think `input` should also offer `.graphql` files in the future to make this easier. Can you provide a feature request here: <https://github.com/graphql-cli/graphql-cli>? :slightly_smiling_face:

so, i’m experimenting with the graphql-binding, and it seems like it _has_ to have a .js file to do anything

Ahh I see! Sorry I've been misreading :slightly_smiling_face: Then <https://github.com/graphql-binding/graphql-binding/issues> is the appropriate repository to bring this up. We should definitely enable the `.graphql` workflow.

okay, i’ll add a request there. In the meantime, and suggestions about how I could work-around it manually?

I think you can use `graphql codegen` and the right `.graphqlconfig.yml` setup to get where you want, but I am not sure :slightly_smiling_face:
