GraphQL Code Generator is a tool that generates code out of your GraphQL schema. Whether you are developing a frontend or backend, you can utilize GraphQL Code Generator to generate output from your GraphQL Schema and GraphQL Documents (query/mutation/subscription/fragment).

By analyzing the schema and documents and parsing it, GraphQL Code Generator can output code at a wide variety of formats, based on pre-defined templates or based on custom user-defined ones. Regardless of the language that you're using, GraphQL Code Generator got you covered.

GraphQL Code Generator lets you choose the output that you need, based on _plugins_, which are very flexible and customizable. You can also write your _plugins_ to generate custom outputs that match your needs.

You can try this tool live on your browser and see some useful examples. Check out [GraphQL Code Generator Live Examples](https://graphql-code-generator.com/#live-demo).

We currently support and maintain [these plugins](https://graphql-code-generator.com/plugins) (TypeScript, Flow, React, Angular, MongoDB, Stencil, Reason, and some more), and there is an active community that writes and maintains custom plugins.

### Quick Start

> You can find the complete instructions in [GraphQL-Code-Generator website](https://graphql-code-generator.com/docs/getting-started/installation).

Start by installing the basic deps of GraphQL Codegen;

    yarn add graphql
    yarn add -D @graphql-codegen/cli

GraphQL Code Generator lets you setup everything by simply running the following command:

    yarn graphql-codegen init

Question by question, it will guide you through the whole process of setting up a schema, selecting plugins, picking a destination of a generated file, and a lot more.

If you wish to [manually setup codegen, follow these instructions](https://graphql-code-generator.com/docs/getting-started/installation).
