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? 🙂

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 🙂 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 🙂
