Summary

GraphQL Code Generator, part of the open-source libraries maintained by The Guild, has released a new version that includes numerous fixes and features, with a notable addition being support for Apollo Federation. This enhancement allows Apollo Federation services to have strongly typed resolvers in TypeScript and Flow by activating a simple configuration flag. Additionally, the tool now generates outputs for various backend languages, including Java, and supports fully typed React-Apollo 3.0 hooks, making it easier for developers to implement and avoid errors. The Guild encourages users to migrate from Apollo codegen, offering configuration options to ease the transition, and highlights GraphQL Code Generator's superior maintenance, extensive features, and robust plugin system. Furthermore, LogRocket is recommended for monitoring and debugging GraphQL requests in production, offering session replay and detailed analytics to identify and resolve issues efficiently.
