How to use GraphQL Code Generator with React Query
Blog post from Nhost
GraphQL Code Generator significantly enhances the development workflow when using GraphQL with React, React Query v4, and TypeScript by generating typed queries, mutations, and subscriptions, resulting in up-to-date typings and autocompletion in the code. The setup involves installing necessary npm packages, creating a configuration file to specify GraphQL API details, and adding a script in package.json to run the code generator. By integrating with tools like VS Code, developers can benefit from autocompletion and error reduction while coding. The blog post provides a detailed walkthrough for implementing this setup, including creating a GraphQL client and using React Query for data fetching in a Todo App example. With this approach, developers can achieve type-safety and robustness, minimizing errors across the stack from the database to the frontend, ultimately leading to more reliable applications.
