GraphQL Code Generator
GraphQL Code Generator is a CLI tool that automatically generates TypeScript types, React hooks, and other code artifacts from GraphQL schemas and operations. It parses GraphQL queries, mutations, and subscriptions to produce type-safe client-side code, reducing manual boilerplate and ensuring consistency between the GraphQL API and frontend code. It supports various plugins for different frameworks and languages, making it highly extensible.
Developers should use GraphQL Code Generator when building applications with GraphQL APIs to enhance type safety, improve developer experience, and reduce errors. It is particularly valuable in TypeScript or JavaScript projects where it generates accurate types for GraphQL operations, enabling autocompletion and compile-time validation. Use cases include React applications with Apollo Client, Vue.js projects, or any setup requiring seamless integration between GraphQL and frontend codebases.
