Do you folks use any tooling (maybe IntelliJ / Android Studio plugin?) to generate queries from a schema?

I work with graphql maybe every 3-4 months, then don’t touch it at all, so my workflow is pretty un-optimized. I was just thinking about this as I was writing out queries by hand

Do you mean, for testing purposes?

[Chris Fillmore]

No

What I had in mind was, given that I have a schema, I imagine I could just check some boxes about what fields I want to include in the query / response

[Chris Fillmore]

The mutations are already defined in schema.graphql, so I imagine some tool could do this. But am I being naive here?

[bod]

oh yes! There are tools like Apollo Sandbox that help you craft queries/mutations by clicking on the fields you want.

[Chris Fillmore]

Thanks! I think this is what I’m looking for

[Chris Fillmore]

Yes perfect this is exactly it

[bod]

Inside IJ/AS I can also recommend the GraphQL plugin, it helps you with completion and navigation, it's pretty neat.

I will check it out 👍
