[import-types-preset] Types should be imported only when the are external to the generated file about graphql-code-generator-community

[jakubmazanec]

Here is GitHub repo: https://github.com/jakubmazanec/graphql-codegen-import-types-preset

npm install
npm run codegen

File output/operations.ts, lines 55-65 should show the issue.

Is this ok for reproduction? Thanks for finding time to look at this.

Hi @jakubmazanec and thank you for the report!

Sorry but I'm not adding a lot here but just labeling it according to our new Contribution Guide and issue flow.

It seems like we are on stage 0.
Now in order to advance to stage 1 we'll need an easily running reproduction, do you think you can create that on code sandbox?

Thank you and sorry that this comment is not a complete solution (yet).

I think initially this was intended to be typescript + typescript-operations in one file, and then typescript-react-apollo in another file with that preset, this way all types are prefixed. So this might be a use-case that isn't fully supported yet... PRs are always welcome!

In my use, typescript-operations is generated based on the consumer query definitions, so it makes more sense for it to be colocated with typescript-react-apollo. Whereas typescript is generated solely from the GQL Schema. A solution to this issue would be helpful for me

This problem still exists
