There are multiple ways how to generate TypeScript types from a GraphQL introspection query. I've used a module called graphql-codegen in the past, which seems to be deprecated / going to be archived and they also advise you to use the proposed solution. So I guess, it's the way to go! 👍

Keep in mind that the introspection query is used by these generators usually and the introspection usually shouldn't be made available for production systems. Maybe @danieltott can advise on how this should be done then. I guess you could export introspection query results manually and then use that static version of the introspection to generate code through the codegen script.
