Add resolve function later about graphql-utilities

[migueloller]

Hi @serle,

I just saw this issue, I apologize for the late response.

It would be possible to modify the GraphQL type after the fact, but keep in mind there's nothing stopping you from separating your type definitions from your resolvers. You could even have a MyType.graphql file and write a small utility function that uses a .graphql file for the type definitions and a MyType.js file for the resolvers.

Thx @migueloller

I have created a small function that provides a promise to assembles all my .graphql and .js makes the executable GraphQL schema. Once the promise resolves I start the GraphQL server. I ended up using the dynamic module loading functionality to load in the "resolve" javascript modules.

Here's a quick example of a function that does it synchronously:

/* build.js */

const utilities = require('graphql-utilities')
const fs = require('fs')

const build = (...args) =>
  utilities.build(fs.readFileSync(__filename.replace(/\.js$/, '.graphql'), 'utf-8'), ...args)

You can then have the following directory structure:

/src
  |-- build.js
  |-- MyType.js
  `-- MyType.graphql

And MyType.js is as simple as:

const build = require('./build')

module.exports = build(/* config, typeDependencies */) // GraphQLObjectType
