I think it's going to be too hard to avoid this perfectly, but I have a change in the works to at least error in such cases. |

In this commit I add two related features to genqlient: conflict-detection to avoid generating two distinct types with the same name, and an option to specify the type-name genqlient should use for some type. The conflict-detection was pretty simple once I realized I had already written all the code to do it in #70. There was a bunch of wiring, since we now need to keep track of the GraphQL type/selection-set that each type corresponds to, but it was pretty straightforward. This allows us to: - detect and reject if you have really sneaky type-names (there are some examples documented in `names.go`) - more clearly crash if genqlient accidentally generates two conflicting types, and - avoid stack-overflow when handing recursive (input) types (although sadly the poor support for options on input types (#14) makes them difficult to use in many cases; you really need to be able to set `pointer: true`) And with that all set up, the type-naming was also easy! (It doesn't have to get into the core of the type-generator, just plug in where we choose names. The desire for conflict detection was the main reason I hadn't set it up already.) Note that the existing limitation of #70 that the fields have to be in exactly the same order remains (and is now documented as #93); it's not deeply hard to fix but it's surprisingly much work.

The function from GraphQL field-name to Go struct field-name is not injective, so there's the potential that we generate two fields with the same name (which will fail to compile). The most likely way this would happen is if you request a field
typenamein a selection of interface type, where genqlient will add__typename; both translate toTypenamein Go. But it's also possible that you request two fieldsMyFieldandmyField, ormyFieldand_myField; by convention field names and aliases arelowerCamelCasebut it's not required and only double-underscore is officially reserved. It's always possible to work around this by aliasing, of course.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
