Maven Plugin Goals

GraphQL Kotlin Maven Plugin provides functionality to generate a lightweight GraphQL HTTP client and generate GraphQL schema directly from your source code.

info

This plugin is dependent on Kotlin compiler plugin as it generates Kotlin source code that needs to be compiled.

Goals

You can find detailed information about graphql-kotlin-maven-plugin and all its goals by running mvn help:describe -Dplugin=com.expediagroup:graphql-kotlin-maven-plugin -Ddetail.

download-sdl

GraphQL endpoints are often public and as such many servers might disable introspection queries in production environment. Since GraphQL schema is needed to generate type safe clients, as alternative GraphQL servers might expose private endpoints (e.g. accessible only from within network, etc) that could be used to download schema in Schema Definition Language (SDL) directly. This Mojo attempts to download schema from the specified graphql.endpoint, validates the result whether it is a valid schema and saves it locally in a specified target file (defaults to schema.graphql under build directory). In general, this goal provides limited functionality by itself and instead should be used to generate input for the subsequent generate-client goal.

Attributes

Default Lifecycle Phase: generate-sources

Parameters

Property	Type	Required	Description
`endpoint`	String	yes	Target GraphQL server SDL endpoint that will be used to download schema. User property is: `graphql.endpoint`.
`headers`	`Map<String, Any>`		Optional HTTP headers to be specified on a SDL request.
`timeoutConfiguration`	TimeoutConfiguration		Optional timeout configuration (in milliseconds) to download schema from SDL endpoint before we cancel the request. Default values are: connect timeout = 5000 read timeout = 15000.
`schemaFile`	File		Target schema file. Default value is: `${project.build.directory}/schema.graphql` User property is: `graphql.schemaFile`.

Parameter Details

timeoutConfiguration - Timeout configuration that allows you to specify connect and read timeout values in milliseconds.

<timeoutConfiguration>
  <!-- timeout values in milliseconds -->
  <connect>1000</connect>
  <read>30000</read>
</timeoutConfiguration>

generate-client

Generate GraphQL client code based on the provided GraphQL schema and target queries.

Attributes

Default Lifecycle Phase: generate-sources
Requires Maven Project
Generated classes are automatically added to the list of compiled sources.

Parameters

Property	Type	Required	Description
`allowDeprecatedFields`	Boolean		Boolean flag indicating whether selection of deprecated fields is allowed or not. Default value is: `false`. User property is: `graphql.allowDeprecatedFields`.
`customScalars`	`List<CustomScalar>`		List of custom GraphQL scalar to converter mappings containing information about corresponding Java type and converter that should be used to serialize/deserialize values.
`outputDirectory`	File		Target directory where to store generated files. Default value is: `${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/graphql`
`packageName`	String	yes	Target package name for generated code. User property is: `graphql.packageName`.
`queryFileDirectory`	File		Directory file containing GraphQL queries. Instead of specifying a directory you can also specify list of query file by using `queryFiles` property instead. Default value is: `src/main/resources`.
`queryFiles`	`List<File>`		List of query files to be processed. Instead of a list of files to be processed you can also specify `queryFileDirectory` directory containing all the files. If this property is specified it will take precedence over the corresponding directory property.
`serializer`	GraphQLSerializer		JSON serializer that will be used to generate the data classes. Default value is: `GraphQLSerializer.JACKSON`.
`schemaFile`	String		GraphQL schema file that will be used to generate client code. Default value is: `${project.build.directory}/schema.graphql` User property is: `graphql.schemaFile`.

Parameter Details

customScalars - List of custom GraphQL scalars. Objects contain target GraphQL scalar name, corresponding Java type and converter that should be used to serialize/deserialize values.

<customScalars>
    <customScalar>
        <!-- custom scalar UUID type -->
        <scalar>UUID</scalar>
        <!-- fully qualified Java class name of a custom scalar type -->
        <type>java.util.UUID</type>
        <!-- fully qualified Java class name of a custom com.expediagroup.graphql.client.converter.ScalarConverter
          used to convert to/from raw JSON and scalar type -->
        <converter>com.example.UUIDScalarConverter</converter>
    </customScalar>
</customScalars>

generate-sdl

Generates GraphQL schema in SDL format from your source code using reflections. Utilizes graphql-kotlin-schema-generator to generate the schema from classes implementing graphql-kotlin-server marker Query, Mutation and Subscription interfaces. In order to limit the amount of packages to scan, this mojo requires users to provide a list of packages that can contain GraphQL types.

This MOJO utilizes ServiceLoader mechanism to dynamically load available SchemaGeneratorHooksProvider service providers from the classpath. Service provider can be provided as part of your project, included in one of your project dependencies or through explicitly provided artifact. See Schema Generator Hooks Provider for additional details on how to create custom hooks service provider. Configuration below shows how to configure GraphQL Kotlin plugin with explicitly provided artifact.

Attributes

Default Lifecycle Phase: process-classes
Requires Maven Project

Parameters

Property	Type	Required	Description
`packages`	`List<String>`	yes	List of supported packages that can be scanned to generate SDL.
`schemaFile`	File		Target GraphQL schema file to be generated. Default value is: `${project.buildDir}/schema.graphql`

generate-test-client

Generate GraphQL test client code based on the provided GraphQL schema and target queries.

Attributes

Default Lifecycle Phase: generate-test-sources
Requires Maven Project
Generated classes are automatically added to the list of test compiled sources.

Parameters

Property	Type	Required	Description
`allowDeprecatedFields`	Boolean		Boolean flag indicating whether selection of deprecated fields is allowed or not. Default value is: `false`. User property is: `graphql.allowDeprecatedFields`.
`customScalars`	`List<CustomScalar>`		List of custom GraphQL scalar to converter mappings containing information about corresponding Java type and converter that should be used to serialize/deserialize values.
`outputDirectory`	File		Target directory where to store generated files. Default value is: `${project.build.directory}/generated-test-sources/graphql`
`packageName`	String	yes	Target package name for generated code. User property is: `graphql.packageName`.
`queryFileDirectory`	File		Directory file containing GraphQL queries. Instead of specifying a directory you can also specify list of query file by using `queryFiles` property instead. Default value is: `src/test/resources`.
`queryFiles`	`List<File>`		List of query files to be processed. Instead of a list of files to be processed you can also specify `queryFileDirectory` directory containing all the files. If this property is specified it will take precedence over the corresponding directory property.
