File contents

Rules

Write schema in .graphql files → run axolotl build → types generated in models.ts
NEVER edit models.ts manually — always overwritten by axolotl build
@resolver marks fields requiring a resolver implementation
Each federation module has its own .graphql; axolotl build merges them into backend/schema.graphql
No extend type — Axolotl merges types by name. Use plain type declarations.
Always use .js extensions in imports (ESM)

`@resolver` Directive

directive @resolver on FIELD_DEFINITION

type Query {
  user: AuthorizedUserQuery @resolver # needs resolver
  hello: String! # no @resolver — resolved inline
}

axolotl resolvers scaffolds files only for @resolver fields.

CLI Commands

Command	Effect
`cd backend && npx @aexol/axolotl build`	Merge schemas → regenerate `models.ts` + Zeus client
`cd backend && npx @aexol/axolotl resolvers`	Scaffold resolver files for `@resolver` fields (non-destructive)
`cd backend && npx @aexol/axolotl inspect -s schema.graphql -r lib/resolvers.js`	Report unimplemented `@resolver` fields

Federation Schema Pattern

# src/modules/users/schema.graphql
directive @resolver on FIELD_DEFINITION

type AuthorizedUserQuery {
  me: User @resolver
}

Declare type with same name across modules — axolotl build merges fields. axolotl.json lists all module schemas under federation[].
