Confusing configuration in README

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to configure this plugin for a project that uses Apollo Client. The short story, I cannot make this plugin work for now. The long story:

I’m going through the README step by step and I cannot manage to make it work. My graphQL server is not running on Apollo Engine, I don’t know if this makes a difference or not. Following the README:

Ensure that you have the @playlyfe/gql library (v2.x) installed and available to this extension. 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:

I do have @playlyfe/gql (2.6.1) installed in my project so I guess I don’t have to do anything here. However, what is add the path to the node_modules directory as a setting? What settings? In which settings file vscode extension settings?

Ensure you have watchman installed

This is all good

Create a .gqlconfig file

Okay, I’ve done that. It’s a bit confusing because my client project doesn’t have .gql or .graphql files. I’m using the gql template literal.

Enable auto-complete

I’ve tried this, even tho I don’t have the field validation working or the syntax highlighting neither.

I cannot see any errors in the logs or maybe I’m not looking at the right place. Anyone can help? I swear that once I have it working I’ll create a PR to clarify the setup or maybe the troubleshooting.
