Custom Scalars?

In Typescript, custom scalar types are emitted like:

export type Foo = any;

How can I make the emitted Foo refer to my existing types?

For example, if somewhere else in my code base, I have:

class Foo {
  bar: string

  someMethod() {
    ...
  }
}

I know this supports templating, but even with templating, I’m not sure how to make Foo in the generated types refer to my project’s Foo. It seems like I’d need to import existing scalar definitions into my schema template? Or I’d need to define all my custom scalars in templates? Both of these sound pretty unmaintainable. Is there some convenient way to do this? Or is there an example for solving this sort of problem?

PS. Thank you for this package!

Is there an example on how to configure custom scalars mapping them to custom types? How do you specify where should the custom types be imported from?

You can use mappers format for scalars, we use it in other places as well, should look like that:

generates:
  types.ts:
    config:
      scalars:
        Date: "my-file#MyType"
    plugins:
      - typescript

@dotansimha I’m new to this plugin, could you share what my-file looks like?
