`@graphql-codegen/kotlin` (opens in a new tab)				Jul 22nd, 2023

Installation

pnpm add -D @graphql-codegen/kotlin

The kotlin plugin generates Kotlin classes for Enums and Input types.

You can use this plugin to generate Java enums based on your GraphQL schema, and it also generates a type-safe Kotlin transformer for GraphQL input types.

Prepare your environment

To get started with these plugins and preset, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js (10 or later)
NPM or Yarn

Run the following in your Android project:

pnpm init --yes
pnpm add graphql
pnpm add -D @graphql-codegen/cli @graphql-codegen/kotlin

Then, create codegen.yml with the following configuration:

schema: POINT_TO_YOUR_SCHEMA
documents: POINT_TO_YOUR_GRAPHQL_OPERATIONS
generates:
  ./app/src/Types.kt:
    plugins:
      - kotlin

💡

Also, make sure to add node_modules to your .gitignore file.

Config API Reference

`package`

type: string

Customize the Java package name. The default package name will be generated according to the output file path.

Usage Examples

generates:
  src/main/kotlin/my-org/my-app/Resolvers.kt:
    plugins:
      - kotlin
    config:
      package: custom.package.name

`enumValues`

type: EnumValuesMap_2

Overrides the default value of enum values declared in your GraphQL schema.

Usage Examples

  config:
    enumValues:
      MyEnum:
        A: 'foo'

`listType`

type: string default: Iterable

Allow you to customize the list type

Usage Examples

generates:
  src/main/kotlin/my-org/my-app/Types.kt:
    plugins:
      - kotlin

    plugins:
      - kotlin
    config:
      withTypes: true

`omitJvmStatic`

type: boolean default: false

Allow you to omit JvmStatic annotation

`strictScalars`

type: boolean default: false

Makes scalars strict.

If scalars are found in the schema that are not defined in scalars an error will be thrown during codegen.

Usage Examples

codegen.ts

 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         strictScalars: true,
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

`defaultScalarType`

type: string default: any

Allows you to override the type that unknown scalars will have.

Usage Examples

codegen.ts

 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         defaultScalarType: 'unknown'
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

`scalars`

type: ScalarsMap

Extends or overrides the built-in scalars and custom GraphQL scalars to a custom type.

Usage Examples

codegen.ts

 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         scalars: {
           DateTime: 'Date',
           JSON: '{ [key: string]: any }',
         }
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

`namingConvention`

type: NamingConvention default: change-case-all#pascalCase

Allow you to override the naming convention of the output. You can either override all namings, or specify an object with specific custom naming convention per output. The format of the converter must be a valid module#method. Allowed values for specific output are: typeNames, enumValues. You can also use "keep" to keep all GraphQL names as-is. Additionally, you can set transformUnderscore to true if you want to override the default behavior, which is to preserve underscores.

Available case functions in change-case-all are camelCase, capitalCase, constantCase, dotCase, headerCase, noCase, paramCase, pascalCase, pathCase, sentenceCase, snakeCase, lowerCase, localeLowerCase, lowerCaseFirst, spongeCase, titleCase, upperCase, localeUpperCase and upperCaseFirst See more (opens in a new tab)

`skipTypename`

type: boolean default: false

Does not add __typename to the generated types, unless it was specified in the selection set.

Usage Examples

   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...

         skipTypename: true
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

`nonOptionalTypename`

type: boolean default: false

Automatically adds __typename field to the generated types, even when they are not specified in the selection set, and makes it non-optional

Usage Examples

codegen.ts

 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...
       config: {
         nonOptionalTypename: true
       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

`useTypeImports`

type: boolean default: false

Will use import type {} rather than import {} when importing only types. This gives compatibility with TypeScript's "importsNotUsedAsValues": "error" option

Usage Examples

codegen.ts

 import type { CodegenConfig } from '@graphql-codegen/cli';
 
 const config: CodegenConfig = {
   // ...
   generates: {
     'path/to/file': {
       // plugins...

       },
     },
   },
 };
 export default config;

`dedupeFragments`

type: boolean default: false

Removes fragment duplicates for reducing data transfer. It is done by removing sub-fragments imports from fragment definition Instead - all of them are imported to the Operation node.

`inlineFragmentTypes`

type: string default: inline

Whether fragment types should be inlined into other operations. "inline" is the default behavior and will perform deep inlining fragment types within operation type definitions. "combine" is the previous behavior that uses fragment type references without inlining the types (and might cause issues with deeply nested fragment that uses list types).

`emitLegacyCommonJSImports`

type: boolean default: true

Emit legacy common js imports. Default it will be true this way it ensure that generated code works with non-compliant bundlers (opens in a new tab).
