orphanedTypes combined with forRootAsync does not generate specified types

[narrow mesa]

Because all GraphQL types form a graph and there are no nodes in a graph that can be orphaned.

But when working with gql federation, we might want to extend a type and add a field. As they are not used in a query or mutation of this subgraph, they get ignored during generation

If you could take a look at this post, that would be great too. Thank you !

That is a different problem. So, not sure why I should be reading it for your problem.

How is it not the same ? It explains that if working with synchronous way (GraphQLModule.forRoot), specified orphaned types get to be generated, but working with forAsyncRoot is not doing it.

So, the problem isn't the orphanedTypes, but rather forRootAsync not working. Or, does it work, when you remove the orphanedTypes property? Neither you or the author of that other post point out that the orphanedTypes is the cause of forRootAsync not working.

@narrow mesa only orphanedTypes are not getting generated. Other types/resolvers (that has query and mutation) is generating well.

Hmmm…. I don‘t have an answer then. Does the orphanedTypes work for you with forRoot?

[night hearth]

@narrow mesa sorry for delay, tested it just now. turns out it is not working with forRoot either

but once i add a query to the resolver of the orphanedType, it get generated well

My code looks like this

⌙ app.module.ts
⌙ src/domains
⌙ orphanedType
⌙ orphanedType.dto.ts
⌙ orphanedType.resolver.ts
⌙ orphanedType.module.ts
⌙ domains.module.ts

OrphanedTypeModule has its provider defined with orphanedTypeResolver
DomainsModule imports OrphanedTypeModule
AppModule imports DomainsModule and GraphQLModule.
I pass orphanedTypeDTO to GraphQLModule setup
