Unnecessary Amplify init on Codegen #2383

Closed borisdering closed 5 years ago

borisdering commented 5 years ago

Which Category is your question related to? Why do I need to init a project when I just want to use the codegen subtooling?

What AWS Services are you utilizing?

Provide additional details e.g. code snippets amplify codegen types --nodownload

Hi @borisdering, you can use codegen without init by including your schema (named schema.graphl) or instrospection schema (named schema.json) in the root directory of your project and running amplify add codegen. Then, if you want to update your types, save your changes to the schema/introspection schema and run amplify codegen types. The --no-download flag is not needed outside of an amplify project.

For more about this flow, take a look at flow 5 in the docs for this workflow: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/cli-toolchain/graphql#workflows
