Config

Most commands in axolotl are based on the available configuration in the project root folder. To generate the configuration file we can call the command

axolotl models

The arguments -m and -s are mandatory. If they are not provided as arguments, you can input them via standard input.

Based on the beerpub-yoga example run axolotl build:

Axolotl will generate a configuration file named "configuration.json" which will contain the flags passed when building the models, an example configuration file may look like this

{
  "schema": "schema.graphql",
  "models": "src/models.ts"
}

This guide should help you understand your Axolotl configuration. More detailed examples can be found in the Examples section.

Micro federation

Config supports GraphQL Federation baked into axolotl. The main schema file is generated then and becomes supergraph. The example how federation works in Axolotl is used in yoga-federated example

{
    "schema": "schema.graphql",
    "models": "src/models.ts",
    "federation":[
        {
            "schema":"src/beers/schema.graphql",
            "models":"src/beers/models.ts"
        },
        {
            "schema":"src/shop/schema.graphql",
            "models":"src/shop/models.ts"
        }
    ]
}
