How can I split schema resolver file?

[mittalyashu]

As I scaffold the gqlgen project, it generated schema.resolvers.go file, the file is continuing to grow and it is difficult manage.

How can I split the file into multiple schema resolver?

Even tried going though the documentation it was still not very clear:

• What is the recommended directory structure for larger projects?
• What are the ways to split resolvers into multiple file while keeping single schema file?

@mittalyashu curious if you ever found a solution? I have a need to separate schema/resolvers into external packages managed by other teams and have been stumbling when so much is generated on how to stitch them back together into a single graph.

for your use-case you can use something like GraphQL federation. Or use micro-service approach while talking to each other using gRPC.

Assuming you're using the example provided in the docs with a schema.graphqls, what you can do (in the same directory) is split out your definitions, e.g.

• familyone.graphqls
• familytwo.graphqls

When you run go generate ./... it'll then create <x>.resolvers.go based on each schema file.

You will need to use extend type Query / extend type Mutation for everything beyond the 'core' schema file (i.e. where you define type Query / type Mutation.
