Failing to extend

First of all - awesome project!

I wish to extend my project graphql api, add additional types, and test the client. Im not sure I understand how extend works here.

First of all I was following the gif animation in the readme, I’ve extended github api, and I have the following in the schema just like in that gif

extend type User {
  petImage: String @fake(type:imageUrl, options: { imageCategory:cats })
}

once I try to save, it prompts me with “Must provide schema definition with query type or a type named Query.”

So I thought to add a Query type

extend type User {
  petImage: String @fake(type:imageUrl, options: { imageCategory:cats })
}


type Query {
  user: User
}

then it fails to save again and prompts me with “Type “User” not found in document.”

What am I missing here?

@sergelerner Strange, I can’t reproduce this issue. You don’t need to add type Query so your first sample is perfectly valid one.

Can you please provide version of graphql-faker package:

npm list -g --depth=0 | grep graphql-faker

Also please specify CLI command your use to run faker, but don’t forget to replace your Authorization token.

Can you please create file test.graphql with following content:

extend type User {
  petImage: String @fake(type:imageUrl, options: { imageCategory:cats })
}

And than run these command with your GitHub token:

graphql-faker --extend https://api.github.com/graphql -H "Authorization: bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" test.graphql
