How to import AWS AppSync types and directives

[RadoslavMarinov]

I am using AWS CDK to build our AppSync project. I have defined a schema file scheam.graphql where we utilize AWS scapar types and directives such as @aws_api_key and @aws_subscribe.

The problem is that the graphql-eslint does not recognize these types and directives and reports errors.
Any idea how (or from where) to import the AWS AppSync schema with these directives?

Hi @RadoslavMarinov,
I don't know where you can import these scalars and directives but you can extend your schema manually in eslintrc config parserOptions.schema

      parserOptions: {
        schema: [
          'schema.graphql',
          /* GraphQL */ `
            scalar AWSDateTime
            # ...
          `,
        ],
      },

For some reason this breaks my

'@graphql-eslint/known-directives': [
          'error',
          { ignoreClientDirectives: ['aws_api_key'] }
        ]

rule and now Im getting Unknown directive "@aws_api_key".

Removed rule and defined the directive into the schema:

schema: [
          './schema.graphql',
          /* GraphQL */
          `
            scalar AWSJSON
            directive @aws_api_key(
              reason: String = "No longer supported"
            ) on FIELD_DEFINITION | ENUM_VALUE | OBJECT
          `
        ]

Now it works ;)
