# Apollo CLI [![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-lightgrey.svg?maxAge=2592000)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apollographql/apollo-tooling/master/LICENSE) [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/apollo.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/apollo) [![Get on Slack](https://img.shields.io/badge/spectrum-join-orange.svg)](https://spectrum.chat/apollo?tab=posts) --- > **[2022-01-21] Note - Upcoming Deprecation Plans:** We (Apollo) are working towards fully deprecating this repository and its related projects. Most of the functionality in this repository has been replaced by newer projects and the rest will be soon. We'll share detailed migration documentation when everything here is ready to be officially deprecated, but just a heads up in case you're planning on adopting anything here for a new project (which you still can of course if the tooling here works for you - support for this tooling will be minimal however). --- > **[2021-07-23] Note - Housekeeping:** Apollo's GraphQL VSCode extension is no longer housed in this repository. It is now maintained separately in [this repo](https://github.com/apollographql/vscode-graphql). --- Apollo CLI brings together your GraphQL clients and servers with tools for validating your schema, linting your operations for compatibility with your server, and generating static types for improved client-side type safety. * [Apollo CLI](#apollo-cli) * [Usage](#usage) * [Commands](#commands) * [Configuration](#configuration) * [Code Generation](#code-generation) * [Contributing](#contributing) # Usage **Disclaimer**: The following API documentation is only for the latest version released on NPM, and may not be accurate for previous or future versions. ```sh-session $ npm install -g apollo $ apollo COMMAND running command... $ apollo (-v|--version|version) apollo/2.34.0 linux-x64 node-v16.15.0 $ apollo --help [COMMAND] USAGE $ apollo COMMAND ... ``` # Commands * [`apollo client:check`](#apollo-clientcheck) * [`apollo client:codegen [OUTPUT]`](#apollo-clientcodegen-output) * [`apollo client:download-schema OUTPUT`](#apollo-clientdownload-schema-output) * [`apollo client:extract OUTPUT`](#apollo-clientextract-output) * [`apollo client:push`](#apollo-clientpush) * [`apollo help [COMMAND]`](#apollo-help-command) * [`apollo plugins`](#apollo-plugins) * [`apollo plugins:inspect PLUGIN...`](#apollo-pluginsinspect-plugin) * [`apollo plugins:install PLUGIN...`](#apollo-pluginsinstall-plugin) * [`apollo plugins:link PLUGIN`](#apollo-pluginslink-plugin) * [`apollo plugins:uninstall PLUGIN...`](#apollo-pluginsuninstall-plugin) * [`apollo plugins:update`](#apollo-pluginsupdate) * [`apollo service:check`](#apollo-servicecheck) * [`apollo service:delete`](#apollo-servicedelete) * [`apollo service:download OUTPUT`](#apollo-servicedownload-output) * [`apollo service:list`](#apollo-servicelist) * [`apollo service:push`](#apollo-servicepush) ## `apollo client:check` Check a client project against a pushed service ``` USAGE $ apollo client:check OPTIONS -c, --config=config Path to your Apollo config file -g, --graph=graph The ID for the graph in Apollo to operate client commands with.

Apollo configuration is stored as a plain object in an `apollo.config.js` file which exports the configuration. For more information about configuring an Apollo project, see: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/devtools/apollo-config/. > Note: the use of the `apollo` key in the project's package.json file for configuration is deprecated, and will no longer be supported in Apollo v3 You'll need to set up your Apollo configuration for all the features of the Apollo CLI and VS Code extension to work correctly. For full details on how to do that, [visit our docs](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/devtools/apollo-config/). A basic configuration (`apollo.config.js` style) looks something like this: ```js module.exports = { client: { name: "My Client Project", service: "my-service-name" } }; ``` # Code Generation ## Accompanying Libraries See [Apollo iOS](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios) for details on the mapping from GraphQL results to Swift types, as well as runtime support for executing queries and mutations. For Scala, see [React Apollo Scala.js](https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo-scalajs) for details on how to use generated Scala code in a Scala.js app with Apollo Client. ## `gql` template support If the source file for generation is a JavaScript or TypeScript file, the codegen will try to extrapolate the queries inside the [gql tag](https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-tag) templates. The tag name is configurable using the CLI `--tagName` option. ## Typescript and Flow When using the codegen command with Typescript or Flow, make sure to add the `__typename` introspection field to every selection set within your graphql operations. If you're using a client like `apollo-client` that does this automatically for your GraphQL operations, pass in the `--addTypename` option to `apollo codegen:generate` to make sure the generated Typescript and Flow types have the `__typename` field as well. This is required to ensure proper type generation support for `GraphQLUnionType` and `GraphQLInterfaceType` fields. ## Why is the \_\_typename field required? Using the type information from the GraphQL schema, we can infer the possible types for fields. However, in the case of a `GraphQLUnionType` or `GraphQLInterfaceType`, there are multiple types that are possible for that field. This is best modeled using a disjoint union with the `__typename` as the discriminant. For example, given a schema: ```graphql ... interface Character { name: String! } type Human implements Character { homePlanet: String } type Droid implements Character { primaryFunction: String } ... ``` Whenever a field of type `Character` is encountered, it could be either a Human or Droid. Human and Droid objects will have a different set of fields. Within your application code, when interacting with a `Character` you'll want to make sure to handle both of these cases. Given this query: ```graphql query Characters { characters(episode: NEW_HOPE) { name ... on Human { homePlanet } ... on Droid { primaryFunction } } } ``` Apollo Codegen will generate a union type for Character. ```javascript export type CharactersQuery = { characters: Array< | { __typename: "Human", name: string, homePlanet: ?string } | { __typename: "Droid", name: string, primaryFunction: ?string } > }; ``` This type can then be used as follows to ensure that all possible types are handled: ```javascript function CharacterFigures({ characters }: CharactersQuery) { return characters.map(character => { switch (character.__typename) { case "Human": return ( ); case "Droid": return ( ); } }); } ``` # Contributing [![Build Status](https://circleci.com/gh/apollographql/apollo-tooling.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/apollographql/apollo-tooling) This repo is composed of multiple packages. The `apollo-cli` contains the core CLI commands. The `apollo-codegen-core` package contains all the compiler APIs needed to implement code generation support for new languages. The other `apollo-codegen-*` packages implement code generation support for individual languages. Running tests locally: ``` npm install npm test ``` You can also run `npm` commands within package folders after you have bootstrapped the repository (part of `npm install`). > Note: if you have issues, try `npm run clean && npm i` to get a fresh install of the packages. Occasionally problems arise when removed dependencies stay around ## Nock tests To display the debugging messages for nock, run the following command: ```bash DEBUG=nock.* npm test ``` It can also be helpful to print standard out during testing. To enable logging, add the following configuration to the `stdout` function call during test creation: ``` .stdout({ print: true }) ``` ## Active Development / Debugging To simplify the development process, you may want to step through and debug commands whose behavior you're modifying. To do this, run the executable with node in debug mode like so, where `` is a valid CLI command like `client:check` or `service:push`: ``` node --inspect-brk=9002 packages/apollo/bin/run ``` If you're using VS Code, you can run the included "Attach to CLI Debugger" launch task and debug right from VS Code! Otherwise, you may use the Chrome inspector or [other Node debugger](https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/debugging-getting-started/) of your choice. ## Regenerating Mocked Network Data Some integration tests rely on mocked server data (service:check for example). Mock data is generated by making real network requests and recording those requests with [`nock`'s recording feature](https://github.com/nock/nock#recording). Stop mocking network calls and add `nock.recorder.rec()` before network calls are made. For `service:check`, change `apiKey` to a real Apollo API key. Then run the tests and nock will output code to mock requests to the console. You can (and probably should) pare down the request to be less brittle (by only checking for an operation name, for example). See [`src/commands/service/__tests__/check.test.ts`](./packages/apollo/src/commands/service/__tests__/check.test.ts) for an example of how a mocked network request will look. ## Publishing 1. Make sure the `CHANGELOG.md` is updated with all changes committed since the last release. Make sure the versions for each package to update are correct. 2. Run `npm run release:version-bump -- ` - Can use major, minor, patch, prepatch, etc for the bump type. If not used, the command will prompt and ask for the bump type. - This command updates git tags locally and on GitHub 3. Run npm run release:start-ci-publish locally - IMPORTANT: If publishing a prerelease (like `alpha`/`beta`/`rc`), set the tag that NPM will use to publish with the `APOLLO_DIST_TAG` environment variable. By default, if this isn't set, NPM will publish the prerelease to the `latest` tag (which isn't what we'd want). - Pushes a `publish/XXXXXXXXXX` tag to GitHub to trigger circle CI build 4. Circle will notify the appropriate Apollo team slack channel when ready to release - Slack channel member will confirm through the Apollo Deploy Bot - Circle will release to all channels (npm, cli binary to s3, vscode marketplace) - Another slack bot notification will confirm success of release. ## Maintainers - [@JakeDawkins](https://github.com/jakedawkins) (Apollo)
