server example with modules

I was trying to use achieve this with https://github.com/okgrow/merge-graphql-schemas but I’m not sure if that’s the right direction. There seem to be many ways to structure graphql servers. Would be nice if one of the yoga server examples would show how to set up a modularised structure in front of the prisma API

+-- src
|   +-- types
|   |   +-- index.js (grouped types)
|   |   +-- auth.graphql (imports from prisma api)
|   |   +-- post.graphql (imports from prisma api)
|   +-- resolvers
|   |   +-- index.js (grouped resolvers)
|   |   +-- auth.js 
|   |   +-- post.js 
|   + index.js (server)

src/index.js (server)

const resolvers = require('./resolvers')
const typeDefs = require('./types')
const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  ...

@beebase why do you need to import post.graphql? Merging the schema will take care of this into a single schema declaration for the GraphQLServer command behind the scenes in graphql-yoga.

Based on your comments above it sounds like you have two directories with .graphql files? One with user defined schema, and a second with prisma defined schema.

// ... other code
const typesArray = [...fileLoader(path.join(__dirname, './userDefinedSchemaFolder'), ...fileLoader(path.join(__dirname, './prismaSchemaFolder')]
const typeDefs = mergeTypes(typesArray, { all: true })

const resolvers = ...
const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers
})

If I am misunderstanding you and there truly is only one folder of schema definitions, then my initial statement will work. You do not need to import schema definitions into files that references that schema. merge-graphql-schemas creates a concatenated type definition that contains all the references. This concatenated (merged) type definition can then be passed to the GraphQLServer call. The code below has worked for me, give it a shot.

const { fileLoader, mergeTypes, mergeResolvers } = require('merge-graphql-schemas')

const typesArray = fileLoader(path.join(__dirname, './types')
const typeDefs = mergeTypes(typesArray, { all: true })

const resolversArray = fileLoader(path.join(__dirname, './resolvers')
const resolvers = mergeResolvers(resolversArray)

const server = new GraphQLServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers
})

Let me know if that works, or you have question. I don’t use prisma so I am not familiar with the api or directory structure.

Yeah, if I knew how to solve it I would gladly submit a PR example project. I find it hard to believe someone has not solved this.
