possible-type-extensions

Since 0.9.0

This rule checks that extended types have the same kind as their definition, as the GraphQL specification requires.

Rule Details

The rule reports the issues of the validation rule of the same name, with the messages of graphql-js. A document that breaks it is rejected by GraphQL servers and tools, so the rule should stay enabled with the error severity.

Configuration

This rule has no options.

version: "1.0"
commands:
  lint:
    graphql:
      rules:
        possible-type-extensions: warning

The rule can be disabled for a node and everything nested in it with an # apigenie-lint-disable possible-type-extensions comment on the node, or for a whole file with the comment at the top of the file, separated from the first definition by a blank line. It applies to definitions.

Examples

Good.

type User { id: ID! }
extend type User { name: String }

Bad. The linter reports Cannot extend non-object type "User"..

scalar User
extend type User { name: String }
