VSCode extension for GraphQL schema authoring & consumption.

• Go to Definition: Just F12 or Ctrl+Click on any graphql type, and you'll jump right to it's definition.

  

• Schema Validation: The plugin also validates your schema, so that you catch errors early.

• Autocomplete: You also get full cross-file autocomplete support.

  

• Great Syntax Highlighting: Now, your gql files will look as beautiful as your other code with an awesome syntax highlighter which works not just with your schema files, but also within your Javascript/Typescript files.

• Linting: This plugin uses a similar method as used by the Codemirror graphql project for linting.

• Snippets: Some commonly used snippets are provided which help while writing mutations and queries, such as definiting types, interfaces and input types.

• Autocomplete: Uses the @playlyfe/gql library to read your whole graphql schema definitions and provide you with autocomplete support while writing & editing your .gql files.

1. Ensure that you have the @playlyfe/gql library installed and available to this plugin. If you've installed the library in a folder other than the workspace root, then add the path to the node_modules directory as a setting:

   {
     "graphqlForVSCode.nodePath": "ui/node_modules"
   }

2. Ensure you have watchman installed and available in your path. Watchman watches your gql files and provides up-to-date suggestions. For users on Windows, get the latest build mentioned in this issue and add the location of watchman.exe to your environment path.

3. Create a .gqlconfig file (required by the @playlyfe/gql package). Example: The .gqlconfig is a JSON file with only one required key: schema.files which is the path to your *.gql files relative to your workspace root.

   /* .gqlconfig */
   {
     "schema": {
       "files": "schemas/**/*.gql"
     }
   }

   You can use the string files: "**/*.gql" instead if you want to find any .gql file recursively in the workspace dir.

• Enable autcomplete of graphql queries in JS/TS files.
