client objects are not generated when schema is used

[mores]

Per: https://graphql.org/learn/schema/

if schema.graphql contains:
schema {
query: QueryRoot
}

type QueryRoot @extends {
ticks(first: Int, after: Int, allowCached: Boolean): TicksConnection
}

Then the following files are not generated:
./target/generated-sources/com/test/shopify/generated/client/TicksProjectionRoot.java
./target/generated-sources/com/test/shopify/generated/client/RouteProjection.java
./target/generated-sources/com/test/shopify/generated/client/TicksGraphQLQuery.java
./target/generated-sources/com/test/shopify/generated/client/TickProjection.java
./target/generated-sources/com/test/shopify/generated/client/VotesProjection.java
./target/generated-sources/com/test/shopify/generated/client/TickEdgeProjection.java

This is specially important when you are new to GraphQL or just consuming it. You don't know/understand what i happening. I felt that something was off as using the generated client was too complicated, even though the QueryRoot and QueryRootProjection are generated. It's after some reading about GraphQL that I understood that there are special types. And after checking the source code it became clear that these type hard coded even though they can be changed by the user.

For any one trying to generate and use a client for Shopify, this is probably why you are strugling.

@yelhouti - I was strugling with Shopify - which is why I created this project: https://github.com/mores/java-shopify-graphql

https://javadoc.io/doc/io.github.mores/java-shopify-graphql-admin/latest/com/shopify/types/package-summary.html

All shopify client objects published to a repository.

@mores thanks for the link, I managed to cake the grldde plugin work, by changing QueryRoot to Query in schema.graphqls.
Si it is working now. I still have a question though:
I used rover (apollo) to download the schema.graphql how did you do it ?
Also, I rather have everything documented and update for each release then publish to maven. (the schema seems to change each few months and the endpoints two...)
I would also like to add some helper functions for pagination...

[mores]

@yelhouti - this artifact is available for anyone to build layers onto: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.github.mores/java-shopify-graphql

I have a branch 2025-01 that I need to publish.

The test script has examples how to do pagination: https://github.com/mores/java-shopify-graphql/blob/202501/mvn/java-shopify-graphql-admin/src/test/java/com/shopify/AppTest.java

Are your artifacts published ?

My download process is:

1. use curl to retrieve /admin/api/2024-10/graphql.json
2. use graphql-introspection-json-to-sdl

[yelhouti]

@mores Thank you, I would add some doc to the github in case someone else needs to maintain it ? is there are reason whyit is not in maven central ?

[yelhouti]

FYI: your dependency is packaged with only the POM (no jar) seems to be not published correctly.

[mores]

This the parent pom ( no jar is published ) - https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.github.mores/java-shopify-graphql

This is the admin package - https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.github.mores/java-shopify-graphql-admin
In the future I see a need to also publish a java-shopify-graphql-storefront under the same parent pom.

@mores Thanks for the tip:
The generator also generates:
com.netflix.graphql.dgs.client.codegen.GraphQLQueryRequest;

I think it could be a good idea to include that the release library, as I couldn't find that code anywhere + I am using it.

[mores]

You simply need to add that to your dependencies.
