GraphQL-Dotnet-Generator

Generates statically typed client code for use in dotnet/sharp clients.

Status: Prototype


Given the schema

https://github.com/lucasbento/graphql-pokemon/blob/master/schemas/schema.graphql

And given the graphql query

fragment pokemonName on Pokemon {
  name
}

{
  pokemon(name: "Pikachu") {
    id
    number
    ...pokemonName
    attacks {
      special {
        name
        type
        damage
      }
    }
}

It generates a client like this

var client = new PokemonClient("https://graphql-pokemon.now.sh/graphql");
var data = await client.GetQuery();
var name = (IPokemonName)data.Pokemon;
Console.WriteLine(name.Name);

Goals:

  • input schema (SDL, Url, Json)
  • input .graphql file (multiple queries, mutations, fragments)
  • output *.cs file or assembly with matching types and a typed client for all queries and mutations
  • output is placed beside your graphql file and is specific to it
  • plain dotnet (no node or npm required)
  • possibly dotnet global tool
  • possibly support for https://github.com/prisma/graphql-config so vscode toolings works out of the box with graphql files
  • possibly format .cs files with dotnet format after generation
  • possibly msbuild task
  • get an official graphql-dotnet project

What needs to be done before beta

  • impl queries
  • impl mutations
  • impl arguments
  • client error handling
  • build time error reporting
  • dotnet global tool

What needs to be done before releaase

  • ensure the obj naming makes sens (is hard to change after release without breaking users)

And after that

  • read only model
  • tests, tests, tests
  • impl dll output via Roslyn compiler so refactoring tools dont mess with the generated code
  • impl multiple queries files
  • impl schema from server url
