Config API Reference
addUnderscoreToArgsType
type: boolean
Adds _ to generated Args types in order to avoid duplicate identifiers.
contextType
type: string
Use this configuration to set a custom type for your context, and it will
affect all the resolvers, without the need to override it using generics each time.
If you wish to use an external type and import it from another file, you can use add plugin
and add the required import statement, or you can use a module#type syntax.
fieldContextTypes
type: object
Use this to set a custom type for a specific field context.
It will only affect the targeted resolvers.
You can either use Field.Path#ContextTypeName or Field.Path#ExternalFileName#ContextTypeName
rootValueType
type: string
Use this configuration to set a custom type for the rootValue, and it will
affect resolvers of all root types (Query, Mutation and Subscription), without the need to override it using generics each time.
If you wish to use an external type and import it from another file, you can use add plugin
and add the required import statement, or you can use both module#type or module#namespace#type syntax.
directiveContextTypes
type: object
Use this to set a custom type for a specific field context decorated by a directive.
It will only affect the targeted resolvers.
You can either use Field.Path#ContextTypeName or Field.Path#ExternalFileName#ContextTypeName
ContextTypeName should by a generic Type that take the context or field context type as only type parameter.
mapperTypeSuffix
type: string
Adds a suffix to the imported names to prevent name clashes.
mappers
type: object
Replaces a GraphQL type usage with a custom type, allowing you to return custom object from
your resolvers.
You can use both module#type and module#namespace#type syntax.
defaultMapper
type: string
Allow you to set the default mapper when it’s not being override by mappers or generics.
You can specify a type name, or specify a string in module#type or module#namespace#type format.
The default value of mappers is the TypeScript type generated by typescript package.
avoidOptionals
type: object
This will cause the generator to avoid using optionals (?),
so all field resolvers must be implemented in order to avoid compilation errors.
Default value: “false”
showUnusedMappers
type: boolean
Warns about unused mappers. Default value: “true”
enumValues
type: object
Overrides the default value of enum values declared in your GraphQL schema, supported
in this plugin because of the need for integration with typescript package.
See documentation under typescript plugin for more information and examples.
resolverTypeWrapperSignature
type: string
Allow you to override resolverTypeWrapper definition.
Default value: “Promise
federation
type: boolean
Supports Apollo Federation Default value: “false”
enumPrefix
type: boolean
Allow you to disable prefixing for generated enums, works in combination with typesPrefix.
Default value: “true”
optionalResolveType
type: boolean
Sets the __resolveType field as optional field.
Default value: “false”
immutableTypes
type: boolean
Generates immutable types by adding readonly to properties and uses ReadonlyArray.
Default value: “false”
namespacedImportName
type: string
Prefixes all GraphQL related generated types with that value, as namespaces import. You can use this feature to allow separation of plugins to different files. Default value: ””“
resolverTypeSuffix
type: string
Suffix we add to each generated type resolver. Default value: “Resolvers”
allResolversTypeName
type: string
The type name to use when exporting all resolvers signature as unified type. Default value: “Resolvers”
internalResolversPrefix
type: string
Defines the prefix value used for __resolveType and __isTypeOf resolvers.
If you are using mercurius-js, please set this field to empty string for better compatibility.
Default value: ”’__‘“
onlyResolveTypeForInterfaces
type: boolean
Turning this flag to true will generate resolver signature that has only resolveType for interfaces, forcing developers to write inherited type resolvers in the type itself.
Default value: “false”
strictScalars
type: boolean
Makes scalars strict.
If scalars are found in the schema that are not defined in scalars
an error will be thrown during codegen.
Default value: “false”
defaultScalarType
type: string
Allows you to override the type that unknown scalars will have. Default value: “any”
scalars
type: object
Extends or overrides the built-in scalars and custom GraphQL scalars to a custom type.
namingConvention
type: object
Allow you to override the naming convention of the output.
You can either override all namings, or specify an object with specific custom naming convention per output.
The format of the converter must be a valid module#method.
Allowed values for specific output are: typeNames, enumValues.
You can also use “keep” to keep all GraphQL names as-is.
Additionally, you can set transformUnderscore to true if you want to override the default behavior,
which is to preserve underscores.
Available case functions in change-case-all are camelCase, capitalCase, constantCase, dotCase, headerCase, noCase, paramCase, pascalCase, pathCase, sentenceCase, snakeCase, lowerCase, localeLowerCase, lowerCaseFirst, spongeCase, titleCase, upperCase, localeUpperCase and upperCaseFirst

Default value: “change-case-all#pascalCase”
typesPrefix
type: string
Prefixes all the generated types. Default value: ""
typesSuffix
type: string
Suffixes all the generated types. Default value: ""
skipTypename
type: boolean
Does not add __typename to the generated types, unless it was specified in the selection set.
Default value: “false”
nonOptionalTypename
type: boolean
Automatically adds __typename field to the generated types, even when they are not specified
in the selection set, and makes it non-optional
Default value: “false”
useTypeImports
type: boolean
Will use import type {} rather than import {} when importing only types. This gives
compatibility with TypeScript’s “importsNotUsedAsValues”: “error” option
Default value: “false”
dedupeFragments
type: boolean
Removes fragment duplicates for reducing data transfer. It is done by removing sub-fragments imports from fragment definition Instead - all of them are imported to the Operation node. Default value: “false”
inlineFragmentTypes
type: string
Whether fragment types should be inlined into other operations. “inline” is the default behavior and will perform deep inlining fragment types within operation type definitions. “combine” is the previous behavior that uses fragment type references without inlining the types (and might cause issues with deeply nested fragment that uses list types). Default value: “inline”
emitLegacyCommonJSImports
type: boolean
Emit legacy common js imports.
Default it will be true this way it ensure that generated code works with non-compliant bundlers.
Default value: “true”
Enum Resolvers
Apollo-Server and schemas built with
graphql-tools supports creating resolvers for GraphQL enums.
This is helpful because you can have internal values that are different from the public enum values, and you can use the internal values in your resolvers.
Codegen allows you to specify either mappers or enumValues to map enums in your resolvers, and
if you are using it for enums, you’ll get a resolver signature for the enum resolvers as well.
Usage Example
With the following schema:
You can also define the same with explicit enum values:
Or, with mappers:
