Vite Plugin GraphQL Codegen
Zero-config vite plugin that uses the vite file watcher to run graphql codegen programmatically without needing to start a separate watcher.
Setup GraphQL Codegen
Installation instructions found here. Optional if already set up in project.
Install Plugin
# npm
npm i -D vite-plugin-graphql-codegen
# yarn

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import codegen from 'vite-plugin-graphql-codegen';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
codegen(),
],
});Options
Providing options is not required as sensible defaults are in place, but there may be times where it's helpful to disable codegen under certain circumstances, like when running builds in CI.
