How to split a long GraphQL schema

Question

I am trying to create a Schema, however is going to get too long and confusing, what are the best practices to split the different queries, mutations and inputs so I can just r

Answer 1

There are multiple options, here are three of them:

1. You can take a look at Apollo's blog - they show a way to modularize the schema: Modularizing your GraphQL schema code If you want an example, you can take a look at this github repository

2. Of course you can always just use the template literals to embed parts of the schema as strings:

const countryType = `
type Country {
  _id: ID!
  name: String!
  region: [Region!]!
}
`

const regionType = `
type Region {
  _id: ID!
  name: String!
  countries: [Country!]
}
`

const schema = `
${countryType}
${regionType}

# ... more stuff ...
`

module.exports = buildSchema(schema);

3. Another way is to use the code first approach and write the schemas in javascript instead of graphql schema language.
