Answer 1

You can use IntelliJ plugin JS GraphQL then IDEA will ask you create two files "graphql.config.json" and "graphql.schema.json"

Then you can edit "graphql.config.json" to point to your local or remote GraphQL server:

"schema": {
"README_request" : "To request the schema from a url instead, remove the 'file' JSON property above (and optionally delete the default graphql.schema.json file).",
"request": {
  "url" : "http://localhost:4000",
  "method" : "POST",
  "README_postIntrospectionQuery" : "Whether to POST an introspectionQuery to the url. If the url always returns the schema JSON, set to false and consider using GET",
  "postIntrospectionQuery" : true,
  "README_options" : "See the 'Options' section at https://github.com/then/then-request",
  "options" : {
    "headers": {
      "user-agent" : "JS GraphQL"
    }
  }
}

After that IDEA plugin will auto load schema from GraphQL server and show the schema json in the console like this:

Loaded schema from 'http://localhost:4000': {"data":{"__schema":{"queryType":{"name":"Query"},"mutationType":{"name":"Mutation"},"subscriptionType":null,"types":[{"kind":"OBJECT","name":"Query","description":"","fields":[{"name":"launche

You can use the Hasura's graphqurl utility

npm install -g graphqurl

gq <endpoint> --introspect > schema.graphql

# or if you want it in json
gq <endpoint> --introspect --format json > schema.json

Update

Using graphql-cli is now the recommended workflow to get and update your schema.

The following commands will get you started:

# install via NPM
npm install -g graphql-cli

# Setup your .graphqlconfig file (configure endpoints + schema path)
graphql init

# Download the schema from the server
graphql get-schema

You can even listen for schema changes and continuously update your schema by running:

graphql get-schema --watch

---

In case you just want to download the GraphQL schema, use the following approach:

The easiest way to get a GraphQL schema is using the CLI tool get-graphql-schema.

You can install it via NPM:

npm install -g get-graphql-schema

There are two ways to get your schema. 1) GraphQL IDL format or 2) JSON introspection query format.

GraphQL IDL format

get-graphql-schema ENDPOINT_URL > schema.graphql

JSON introspection format

get-graphql-schema ENDPOINT_URL --json > schema.json

or

get-graphql-schema ENDPOINT_URL -j > schema.json

For more information you can refer to the following tutorial: How to download the GraphQL IDL Schema

Answer 4

You can download a remote GraphQL server's schema with the following command. When the command succeeds, you should see a new file named schema.json in the current working directory.

~$ npx apollo-cli download-schema $GRAPHQL_URL --output schema.json
