Figure out how to do scalar type mappings about relay-compiler-language-typescript HOT 6 CLOSED

In terms of a sanctioned entry-point for this (i.e. not forking the relay-compiler bin), I created this ticket facebook/relay#2518

from relay-compiler-language-typescript.

as facebook/relay#2518 is released, one proposal to support importing types from other modules:

const customScalars = {
  MyType: {
    type: 'MyType',
    module: '../myModule'
  },
  MySimpleString: 'String'  
}

this will add

import { MyType } from '../myModule';

in the generated file

@pebeka Interesting! This is something that should be discussed upstream imo. Mind opening a ticket on the FB/relay repo?

Technically speaking you can map them in customScalars, like Email: 'Email', and in your tsconfig have a global.d.ts or something file, that declares/exposes those types. And imo this is a better approach, and heck you can generate that too.

Hmm, the OP is supported now by facebook/relay#2518 being done, right?

@maraisr I’m unsure what part of the thread you are replying to, though, can you clarify?
