Migration from GraphQL Import

GraphQL Import was an NPM package that allows you to import and export definitions using #import syntax in .graphql files. So this package has been moved under GraphQL Tools monorepo. It is really easy to migrate. You need two different packages @graphql-tools/load and @graphql-tools/graphql-file-loader.

Before

import { join } from 'node:path'
import { importSchema } from 'graphql-import'
import { makeExecutableSchema } from 'graphql-tools'
 
const typeDefs = importSchema(join(__dirname, 'schema.graphql'))
 
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    // ...
  }
}
const schema = makeExecutableSchema({ typeDefs, resolvers })

After

import { join } from 'node:path'
import { GraphQLFileLoader } from '@graphql-tools/graphql-file-loader'
import { loadSchemaSync } from '@graphql-tools/load'
import { addResolversToSchema } from '@graphql-tools/schema'
 
const schema = loadSchemaSync(join(__dirname, 'schema.graphql'), {
  loaders: [new GraphQLFileLoader()]
})
 
const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    // ...
  }
}
 
const schemaWithResolvers = addResolversToSchema({ schema, resolvers })
