Can't Use 2 Different Schemas in same Package

[Polenoso]

Summary

We're using 2 different schemes for 2 different services in GraphQL.

We have provided 2 different codegen scripts to generate both schemes Models, since while using 2 different schemes within the same codegen-config.json file was mistakenly trying to generate queries from one scheme using the other scheme.

Each configuration file uses a different namespace.

Problem

• Files generated like Query.graphql.swift, SchemeMetadata.graphql.swift, SchemeConfiguration.graphql.swift are duplicated for each scheme, so it needs manual changes to remove redeclaration of files in order to make it possible to compile.

Possible Suggestion

• Add a parameter on codegen-config.json where we can set a value of merge equal classes or files

{
...
      "options":
               {
                  "mergeFiles": true
               }
...
}

More context

We are using Apollo inside a Package outside of our main project target in order to avoid the need of adding files manually to the project target

Version

1.8.0

Config Example

Config File 1

    "schemaNamespace" : "Namespace1Graphql",
    "input" : {
        "operationSearchPaths" : [
            "Home/**/*.graphql"
        ],
        "schemaSearchPaths" : [
            "Home/**/*.graphqls"
        ]
    },
    "output" : {
        "testMocks" : {
            "absolute" : {
                "path": "./Sources/Tests/Home/Mocks",
                "accessModifier": "public"
            }
        },
        "schemaTypes" : {
            "path" : "./Sources/GraphQLClient/Home/Generated",
            "moduleType" : {
                "embeddedInTarget": {
                    "name": "GraphQLClient",
                    "accessModifier": "public"
                }
            }
        },
        "operations" : {
            "inSchemaModule" : {
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi @Polenoso

We have provided 2 different codegen scripts to generate both schemes Models, since while using 2 different schemes within the same codegen-config.json file was mistakenly trying to generate queries from one scheme using the other scheme.

This is not a bug but part of the design. Apollo iOS, both the client and the code generator, are designed to be used for a single schema only. It is possible to have more than one schema generated and used in your project but they are separate packages, cannot share schema metadata and each will require their own Apollo Client instance.

Unfortunately merging multiple schemas into a single schema is not a feature we plan on supporting.
