# GraphQL Scalars Configuration
This utility ensures that custom GraphQL scalar types are correctly inferred by the GraphQL code generator. It helps you set up and import scalars while defining their input/output mappings.
## Installation
After setting up GraphQL Codegen, install this package:
```bash
npm install codegen-graphql-scalars-config
```
## Usage
Use `createScalarConfiguration` to define scalar types and their imports. The `from` field is optional; by default, it pulls from `graphql-scalars`. The `as` field is also optional; if not provided, it will default to `GraphQL{name}` (e.g., `GraphQLByte` for the scalar type `Byte`).
Use the output from `createScalarConfiguration` in your GraphQL Codegen configuration to automatically import scalar types and define their mappings.
```ts
import { CodegenConfig } from "@graphql-codegen/cli";
import { extractScalarTypeDefs } from "graphql-scalars-type-defs-extractor";
import { createScalarConfiguration } from "codegen-graphql-scalars-config";
const scalarTypesPath = extractScalarTypeDefs({
output: "scalar-types.generated.graphql",
scalars: ["Byte", "CountryName", "Date"],
});
const scalarSetup = createScalarConfiguration([
{ name: "Byte", as: "GraphQLByte" },
{ name: "CountryName" },
{ name: "Date" },
{ name: "Foo", as: "GraphQLFoo", from: "./custom-scalars" }, // Custom import (NB: this path should be relative to the generated types path)
]);
const config: CodegenConfig = {
overwrite: true,
schema: ["./src/**/*.ts", scalarTypesPath],
generates: {
"src/types/resolvers-types.generated.ts": {
config: {
scalars: {
ID: { input: "string", output: "string | number" },
...scalarSetup.scalarsConfig,
},
},
plugins: [
{ add: { content: scalarSetup.imports.join("\n") } },
"typescript",
"typescript-resolvers",
],
},
},
};
export default config;
```
Once you’ve set up your configuration, run the code generator, and your correctly typed scalars will be included in the generated types:
```bash
npx graphql-codegen
```
## API Reference
### `createScalarConfiguration`
```ts
function createScalarConfiguration(
imports: ScalarImport[]
): ScalarConfigurationResult;
```
- **Parameters**:
- `imports`: An array of objects defining the custom scalar types.
- `name`: The name of the scalar (e.g., `"Byte"`).
- `from` (optional): The package where the scalar is imported from (defaults to `"graphql-scalars"`).
- `as` (optional): The alias to import the scalar as (e.g., `"GraphQLByte"`). If not provided, it will default to `"GraphQL{name}"` (e.g., `"GraphQLByte"` for the scalar `Byte`).
- **Returns**:
- `imports`: An array of import statements for the scalars.
- `scalarsConfig`: A mapping of scalar names to their respective input/output type definitions.
