Trackunit GraphQL Build Tools

@trackunit/graphql-build-tools provides a CLI and reusable transformer helpers for producing Manager-compatible GraphQL SDL in service build pipelines.

CLI Usage

Run the CLI in two steps when publishing a service schema:

1. bundle collects all raw .graphqls files into one SDL file.
2. build renders that bundled SDL into the Manager-compatible schema for a gateway.

graphql-build-tools bundle "src/**/*.graphqls" target/schema.graphqls
graphql-build-tools build --server=public target/schema.graphqls target/schema.public.graphqls

bundle

graphql-build-tools bundle "src/**/*.graphqls" target/schema.graphqls

The bundle command:

• Finds matching .graphqls files
• Sorts them for stable output
• Concatenates them with newlines
• Writes one raw combined SDL file

build

graphql-build-tools build --server=public target/schema.graphqls target/schema.public.graphqls

The build command:

• Reads the bundled raw SDL
• Applies Manager's GraphQL directive transformer chain
• Renders the SDL for one gateway: internal, public, report, or v3-mobile
• Writes the final schema to upload or publish

Use - as the build output path to write the transformed SDL to stdout:

graphql-build-tools build --server=public target/schema.graphqls - > target/schema.public.graphqls

CI Example

- run:
    name: Build public GraphQL schema
    command: |
      npx --yes @trackunit/graphql-build-tools bundle "src/**/*.graphqls" target/schema.graphqls
      npx --yes @trackunit/graphql-build-tools build --server=public target/schema.graphqls target/schema.public.graphqls

Maven Example

Use npm exec from frontend-maven-plugin when rendering schemas from a Maven build:

<execution>
  <id>bundle-graphql-schema</id>
  <phase>generate-resources</phase>
  <goals><goal>npm</goal></goals>
  <configuration>
    <arguments>exec --yes -- @trackunit/graphql-build-tools bundle src/main/graphql/**/*.graphqls target/graphql/schema.graphqls</arguments>
  </configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
  <id>render-public-graphql-schema</id>
  <phase>generate-resources</phase>
  <goals><goal>npm</goal></goals>
  <configuration>
    <arguments>exec --yes -- @trackunit/graphql-build-tools build --server=public target/graphql/schema.graphqls target/graphql/schema.public.graphqls</arguments>
  </configuration>
</execution>

Publish target/schema.public.graphqls or target/graphql/schema.public.graphqls to the schema registry from the next CI step.

The package also exports the SDL directive transformer chain used by buildGraphqlSchema.

Programmatic API

const { buildGraphqlSchema, bundleSchemas } = require("@trackunit/graphql-build-tools");

The package root resolves to the library API. The CLI stays available through the graphql-build-tools bin command.
