What will replace the client commands from the deprecated Apollo CLI?

2

This is the current migration plan for customers currently relying on these commands:

  • apollo client:codegen → use the graphql-code-generator CLI
  • apollo client:download-schema → use rover graph fetch
  • apollo client:check → potentially a graphql-code-generator plugin; TBD
  • apollo client:extract → potentially a graphql-code-generator plugin; TBD
  • apollo client:push → e.g. npx apollo-studio-legacy-operation-registry

Please refer back at a later date though if this changes and of course to our documentation for the latest available Rover commands: The Rover CLI - Apollo GraphQL Docs

Hi @shanemyrick, thanks for this. Is there any update as to if there is a proposed replacement for apollo client:check?

You can generate the types for clients using some of the tools mentioned here which will allow to have type safety built in

But the client:check options still work today if you want to use them

@shanemyrick do we have any update regarding apollo client:extract migrate to potentially a graphql-code-generator plugin; TBD

@manikanta.a Have you seen the tools for Apollo Client that allow you to extract the operations to be used for persisted queries?
