typescript/graphql-nextjs/README is missing information on how to regenerate Nexus

[janpio]

I am not super sure, but I think if I change the schema more fundamentally I also need to generate the nexus types. Unfortunately this is not mentioned in the README, and the files itself tell me that I should not touch then.

yarn generate:nexus does not work unfortunately:

C:\Users\Jan\Documents\prisma-examples\typescript\graphql-nextjs>yarn generate:nexus
yarn run v1.22.0
$ ts-node --transpile-only pages/api
C:\Users\Jan\Documents\prisma-examples\typescript\graphql-nextjs\pages\api\index.ts:1
import { intArg, makeSchema, objectType, stringArg, asNexusMethod } from 'nexus';
       ^

Hi,

I had the same problem with the gaphql-nextjs repository. If you're still having the problem try the following:

Create a file tsconfig.nexus.json

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "ES5"
  }
}

Change __dirname in pages/api/index.ts to process.cwd() (for reference #1543)

export const schema = makeSchema({
  types: [Query, Mutation, Post, User, GQLDate],
  outputs: {
-    typegen: path.join(__dirname, 'nexus-typegen.ts'),
-    schema: path.join(__dirname, 'schema.graphql')+
+    typegen: path.join(process.cwd(), 'nexus-typegen.ts'),
+    schema: path.join(process.cwd(), 'schema.graphql')
  },
})

and change the generate:nexus script in package.json:

-    "generate:nexus": "ts-node  --transpile-only ./pages/api" 
+    "generate:nexus": "ts-node --project ./tsconfig.nexus.json --transpile-only ./pages/api"

edit: I just realized who you are. 😁 ... Leaving it for others who run into the same problem 👍

I am exactly the right person to give this information to 😸 And thanks, one of my colleagues will hopefully be able to use your information to fix the example.

[ankri]

Alright, thanks. While they're at it: ts-node is missing in devDependencies

---

just fyi: I ditched the example because it is not (yet) using nexus-plugin-prisma And since I didn't get to run that either, I am writing graphql stuff ApolloServer old-school-style

The example has been updated to use Pothos & GraphQL Yoga. Feel free to re-open the issue if you're still running into the issue. :)
