getSchemaMap()​

function getSchemaMap(schema): SchemaMap

Returns an introspection map of the GraphQL schema. This is the entry point for GraphQL-Markdown schema parsing features.

Parameters​

schema​

Maybe<GraphQLSchema>

Returns​

SchemaMap

a schema map by GraphQL entities (see SchemaEntity).

Example​

import { buildSchema } from "graphql";
import { getSchemaMap } from "@graphql-markdown/utils/graphql";

const schema = buildSchema(`
interface Record {
id: String!
}
type StudyItem implements Record {
id: String!
subject: String!
duration: Int!
}
type Query {
getStudyItems(subject: String): [StudyItem!]
getStudyItem(id: String!): StudyItem
}
type Mutation {
addStudyItem(subject: String!, duration: Int!): StudyItem
}
type Subscription {
listStudyItems: [StudyItem!]

`);

const schemaTypeMap = getSchemaMap(schema);

// expected result: {
// queries: {
// getStudyItems: GraphQLField,
// getStudyItem: GraphQLField,
// },
// mutations: {
// addStudyItem: GraphQLField,
// },
// subscriptions: {
