Update .d.ts when schema.graphql is changed?

[lubosmato]

Is there a way to configure gql.tada to do something like a watch operation on schema.graphql file changes and re-generate .d.ts file everytime there is a change in schema.graphql?

Maybe I am asking for solution to "XY problem" but the goal is to have nice developer experience when developing a full-stack feature on monorepo project.

E.g. On a monorepo consisting of backend and frontend projects a full-stack developer would modify graphql (backend), this modifies schema.graphql, then the dev wants to use new graphql modification in frontend project but at this point has to either restart LSP (TS server) or run gql.tada generate-output to have "fresh" .d.ts file.

I just tested this and it doesn't require me to restart the LSP, the LSP watches the .graphql file correctly for me and regenerates everything. That being said, the programmatic API of our cli-utils should allow you to create this, the CLI at this time does not implement watch.

The code can be seen here, maybe there's a bug for the LSP but we'd need a reproduction/... https://github.com/0no-co/GraphQLSP/blob/main/packages/graphqlsp/src/graphql/getSchema.ts#L150-L163

Thank you for a test and quick reply.

Nice to hear that this is the way gql.tada suppose to behave. I will re-create the repo and test again.

After setting up same as in example-tada example, .d.ts is re-generated on schema changes correctly. Thank you again for your support.
