How can distribute my Query object into multiple files?

Hey guys, I currently have a project in which I have split the Query object in multiple files. I then import those separate Query objects and merge them into one main Query object which I pass to the server. It is working but I am just wondering if this is the way to do it or is there a better way?

Thank you

import Query1 from ...
import Query2 from ...
import Query3 from ...
import Query4 from ...

export const Query = { ...Query1, ...Query2, ...Query3, ...Query4};

// ----------------------- index.js file 

import Query from ...
const startServer = async () => {
   const schema = applyMiddleware(
      makeExecutableSchema({
         typeDefs: [....],
         resolvers: {
            Query
         },
      })
   );
}

Lets say you have Query.js, Query2.js, Query3.js etc that looks similar to this:

queries/Query1.js

export const Query1 = gql`{...}`;

queries/Query2.js

export const Query1 = gql`{...}`;

You can create index.js in the queries directory that looks like this:

export * from './Query1.js';
export * from `./Query2.js`;

And in your main file you just simply call:

import * as typeDefs from './queries';

This basically achieves the same result without the need to combine them like you are doing it. If you want to exclude a query, just delete it from index.ts. And when you need add one, just add it to the list there.

Why does this work? If a module system, you don’t need to specify every single variable so “*” works with both exports and imports. And if your import will point to a directory, the module system will look for index.js inside that directory.
