Generate only when graphql server is available

[gmencz]

I'm trying to watch for changes and generate the types but I need to wait until the graphql server is up and running to generate the types otherwise the generation fails, issue is my ts-node-dev is also watching for changes so when I change my schema, the server restarts and graphql-codegen tries to generate the types but because the server has not yet restarted, it fails, any ideas?

I think you point to the URL endpoint as the schema in your codegen.yml file. You can point to your code files instead so codegen can take directly from your code.

Thanks! that worked, I pointed to the file where the schema was defined as you suggested, thanks!
