Creating your own transformer
Transformers enable us to modify the behavior of GraphQL directives, allowing us to tailor our schema to meet our specific requirements. By writing our own transformer, we gain the power to extend GraphQL’s capabilities and create a more dynamic and flexible API.
To get started, we will set up a TypeScript project and install the necessary dependencies. We will then create our custom transformer, using the provided transformer template as a starting point. We will cover important concepts such as visiting and transforming the abstract syntax tree (AST) of a GraphQL schema, and how to apply our custom logic to manipulate directives.
What is AST?
AST is a data structure that represents the structure of a program or code snippet. It provides a way to analyze and manipulate code programmatically. By representing code as a tree of nodes, AST allows for powerful static analysis, code transformation, and tooling capabilities in the realm of programming...
