Installing

Using pnpm:

pnpm add -D nx-mesh

Peer Dependencies

Preset

Create a new Nx workspace with a GraphQL Mesh SDK!

npx create-nx-workspace@latest myorg --preset=nx-mesh

See the sdk generator for available options.

Generators

application

Create a GraphQL Mesh API Gateway application for Nx.

nx generate nx-mesh:application my-api-gateway

# Alias
nx generate nx-mesh:app my-api-gateway

sdk

Create a GraphQL Mesh SDK library for Nx.

nx generate nx-mesh:sdk my-mesh-sdk

# Alias
nx generate nx-mesh:sdk-library my-mesh-sdk
nx generate nx-mesh:library my-mesh-sdk

Executors

build

Builds artifacts for a GraphQL Mesh library.

This is the equivalent of using graphql-mesh dev, but with extra steps for packaging the library.

"targets": {
  "build": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:build",
    "options": {
      "dir": "libs/example-lib",
      "outputPath": "dist/libs/example-lib",
      "tsConfig": "libs/example-lib/tsconfig.lib.json",
      "main": "libs/example-lib/src/index.ts"
    },
  },
}

build-gateway

Builds artifacts for a GraphQL Mesh API Gateway app.

This is the equivalent of using graphql-mesh build, but with extra steps for compiling an app.

"targets": {
  "build": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:build-gateway",
    "options": {
      "dir": "apps/example-app",
      "outputPath": "dist/apps/example-app"
    },
  },
}

build-swc

Builds artifacts for a GraphQL Mesh library.

This is the equivalent of using graphql-mesh build, but with extra steps for packaging the library with SWC.

"targets": {
  "build": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:build-swc",
    "options": {
      "dir": "libs/example-lib",
      "outputPath": "dist/libs/example-lib",
      "tsConfig": "libs/example-lib/tsconfig.lib.json",
      "main": "libs/example-lib/src/index.ts"
    },
  },
}

dev

Serves a GraphQL server with a GraphQL interface by building artifacts on the fly.

This is the equivalent of using graphql-mesh dev.

"targets": {
  "dev": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:dev",
    "options": {
      "dir": "path/to/app/or/lib",
    },
  },
}

start

Serves a GraphQL server with a GraphQL interface based on your generated artifacts.

This is the equivalent of using graphql-mesh start.

"targets": {
  "start": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:start",
    "options": {
      "dir": "path/to/app/or/lib",
    },
  },
}

serve

Serves a GraphQL server.

This combines dev & start via a dev option toggle.

"targets": {
  "serve": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:serve",
    "options": {
      "dir": "path/to/app/or/lib",
      "dev": true,
    },
    "configuration": {
      "production": {
        "dev": false,
      }
    }
  },
}

validate

Validates artifacts.

This is the equivalent of using graphql-mesh validate.

"targets": {
  "validate": {
    "executor": "nx-mesh:validate",
    "options": {
      "dir": "path/to/app/or/lib",
    },
  },
}
