GraphQL Codegen has been the go-to tool for generating types for GraphQL clients for over a decade. But as use cases grew, so did the friction: excessive generated code, complex setups, and growing confusion among users on how to use the output.
In this talk, we'll explore a new client-focused Codegen setup that rethinks those trade-offs. You'll see how we drastically reduce generated output, ensure correct and predictable types, and provide a smooth migration path from existing tools without sacrificing flexibility or safety.
We'll also dive into the story behind the change: a collaboration between Eddy (The Guild) and Igor (Yelp), sparked by a single question and shaped by open discussion across time zones. It’s a look at how community feedback, real-world constraints, and trust can drive the biggest evolution in Codegen’s history.
Eddy is a Lead Engineer at SEEK, where he builds GraphQL-driven applications by day. By night, he moonlights at The Guild as a GraphQL Code Generator maintainer—with the unrelenting support of his two cats.
