What is @graphql-codegen/introspection?

@graphql-codegen/introspection is a plugin for GraphQL Code Generator that allows you to generate GraphQL introspection files. These files can be used to understand the structure of your GraphQL schema, which is useful for various purposes such as documentation, client-side validation, and more.

What are @graphql-codegen/introspection's main functionalities?

Generate Introspection File

This feature allows you to generate a JSON file containing the introspection query result of your GraphQL schema. This file can be used by various tools to understand the structure of your schema.

{"schema":"http://localhost:4000/graphql","documents":null,"generates":{"./schema.json":{"plugins":["introspection"]}}}

Customizing Introspection Output

This feature allows you to customize the introspection output. For example, you can minify the JSON output to reduce its size.

{"schema":"http://localhost:4000/graphql","documents":null,"generates":{"./schema.json":{"plugins":[{"introspection":{"minify":true}}]}}}
