Bonjour, I'm trying out apollo-kotliin for the first time
Following the tutorial works fine. until this step, any idea what I'm doing that's stupid?

Works for me, I get a file generated in

build/generated/source/apollo/service/github/graphql/RateLimitQuery.kt

[jmfayard]

ahhh I didn't realize this was inside build/generated thanks 🙂

[mbonnin]

Sure thing!

[mbonnin]

Ultimately would be nice to have a plugin that generates them on the fly, like SQLDelight does

[mbonnin]

(but that won't change the fact that it's in build/generated . I think we want to keep this so that it's clearly outside version control)

[jmfayard]

I think it's fine, maybe just add:
println("apollo: updating Kotlin code in build/generated/source/apollo/service")

@mbonnin I'm curious if it's possible to hook into one of the tasks in idea Gradle plugin to make the task run on the fly?

[mbonnin]

@Yang we've been wanting to do that for a while now. There's a lot we can do in terms of IDE integration. On the fly codegen sounds like a good first feature

[mbonnin]

We'll have to see how it performs. We certainly don't want to rerun codegen on every keystroke 😅

[Yang]

I sort of want something similar to how the R classes are generated in AS, do you know if they have some help from Studio or is it something that can be achieved with Gradle alone?

[mbonnin]

I haven't looked at the R classes specifically but I believe there has to be some integration with AS/IntelliJ as Gradle isn't running when you're typing code

[mbonnin]

SQLDelight has some live codegen we could take inspiration from
