graphql-pluck-types

Extract TypeScript interface definitions from a GraphQL schema SDL string

Install

npm install graphql-pluck-types

Usage

import pluckTypes from 'graphql-pluck-types';

const sdl = `
	type User {
		id: ID!
		name: String!
		email: String
		posts: [Post!]!
	}

	type Post {
		id: ID!
		title: String!
		body: String
	}

	enum Role {
		ADMIN
		USER
	}

	input CreateUserInput {
		name: String!
		email: String!
		role: Role!
	}
`;

const ts = pluckTypes(sdl);
console.log(ts);

Output:

export interface User {
	id: string;
	name: string;
	email: string | null;
	posts: Post[];
}

export interface Post {
	id: string;
	title: string;
	body: string | null;
}

export interface CreateUserInput {
	name: string;
	email: string;
	role: Role;
}

export enum Role {
	ADMIN = 'ADMIN',
	USER = 'USER',
}

Custom Scalars

const ts = pluckTypes(sdl, {
	scalars: {
		DateTime: 'Date',
		JSON: 'unknown',
	},
});

API

pluckTypes(sdl, options?)

sdl

Type: string

A GraphQL schema definition language string.

options

Custom scalar type mappings from GraphQL scalar names to TypeScript types.

Limitations

• Does not handle union or scalar declarations
• Does not resolve extend type
• Field arguments are stripped (only field name and return type are extracted)
• Designed for the 90% use case — use graphql-codegen for advanced needs
