Custom plugin extending react-apollo

[correttojs]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a plugin to autogenerate the read and write operations to the Apollo InMemoryCache.

I pushed some sample code based on the react-apollo plugin here: https://github.com/correttojs/graphql-codegen-apollo-cache

Once I tested the plugin together with the react-apollo plugin, all the query documents were duplicated.
so I added
config.documentMode = DocumentMode.external;

and I removed the Operations import:
prepend: visitor.getImports().filter((i) => !/Operations/.test(i)),

I also wanted to generate my new plugin into a different file (in order to avoid some circular dependencies eslint warnings). So I created a second output definition within the codegen.yml configuration and included all the imports to the required query documents and types.

My question is: is there a better way to achieve the same result?

Would you be interested in this plugin? I could complete it following your suggestions

Hi @correttojs

You plugin extends ClientSideBaseVisitor which already generates documents for you. I think maybe we need to break it down to small pieces (the buildOperation) method, and allow you to skip generating documents again.

PRs are welcome ;)

I need to configure the import-types preset. I added an example to my repo
