What replaced codegen:generate --schema=...

/label v2

I used to generate code with a local schema file something like this

apollo codegen:generate --schema=... --queries=... ./outputDir

but in v2 this seems to be removed. :( Is there anything that has replaced it?

@deltaskelta you should be able to pass --localSchemaFile=schema.json or in your apollo.config.js

module.exports = {
  client: {
    localSchemaFile: "./schema.json"
  }
}

I think the --localSchemaFile flag isn't working yet but @trevor-scheer and @JakeDawkins should have that fixed this week!

Ok thanks for the quick response, will there be a similar replacement for --clientSchema as well?

I've been also trying to track down what happened to --clientSchema. So far my initial walk through the codebase was fruitless. Can anyone let us know what replaced that option?

[martijnwalraven]

@deltaskelta @disintegrator The client schema is automatically generated if the included files have type definitions or extensions in them. I realize --queries is a bit of a misnomer for this, which is why this is specified as includes and excludes in the config.

One of the great benefits of this is that it gives you a really great development experience when using the VS Code extension, where the client schema and queries can be edited hand in hand and will be validated together on the fly.

Seems to be fixed now. Thanks!
