Prefix Transform

The prefix transforms allow you to add prefixes to existing GraphQL types and root operations (under Query/Mutation). prefix is similar to rename in that it allows you to modify names to avoid conflicts, simplify complicated names, and change the appearance of your query. In contrast with rename, prefix is simpler and only allows you to append a prefix to the existing name.

You can use it to easily "namespace" APIs in your unified API and avoid conflicts.

Installation

npm i @graphql-mesh/transform-prefix

How to use?

Add the following configuration to your Mesh config file:

.meshrc.yaml

transforms:
  - prefix:
      mode: bare | wrap
      value: MyApi_

💡

For information about "bare" and "wrap" modes, please read the dedicated section. You can check out our example that uses schema stitching with a PostgreSQL data source and prefix transform. Click here to open the example on GitHub.
