Lmiguelvargasf Nova GRAPHQL Contract

GraphQL contract & sync

When to use

• You modify backend GraphQL types/resolvers or the schema.
• You add or edit frontend .graphql documents.
• You suspect schema and generated types are out of sync.

Steps

1. Backend: implement changes under backend/src/backend/apps/**/graphql/.
2. Sync: run task frontend:codegen from the repo root.
   • This runs task backend:schema:export to update frontend/schema/schema.graphql.
   • Then runs pnpm codegen to regenerate TypeScript types.
3. Frontend: update frontend/src/ to use the newly generated types/fragments.
4. Verify: run task frontend:check.

Constraints and guardrails

• The Strawberry backend is the source of truth; do not manually edit frontend/schema/schema.graphql.
• Do not hand-write TypeScript interfaces for GraphQL results; use generated types in frontend/src/lib/graphql/.
• Schema changes and frontend sync should be in the same change set.
• Breaking changes (removing/renaming fields, Nullable → Non-Null, adding required args) require immediate frontend updates after codegen.
• Avoid N+1 by using SQLAlchemy eager loading (selectinload/joinedload) and moving complex logic into services.
