Standard plugins

Ariadne Codegen ships with optional plugins importable from the ariadne_codegen.contrib package:

• ariadne_codegen.contrib.shorter_results.ShorterResultsPlugin - This plugin processes generated client methods for operations where only single top field is requested, so they return this field's value directly instead of operation's result type. For example get_user method generated for query GetUser() { user(...) { ... }} will return value of user field directly instead of GetUserResult.

• ariadne_codegen.contrib.extract_operations.ExtractOperationsPlugin - This extracts query strings from generated client's methods into separate operations.py module. It also modifies the generated client to import these definitions. Generated module name can be customized by adding operations_module_name="custom_name" to the [tool.ariadne-codegen.operations] section in config. Eg.:

  [tool.ariadne-codegen]
  ...
  plugins = ["ariadne_codegen.contrib.extract_operations.ExtractOperationsPlugin"]
  
  [tool.ariadne-codegen.extract_operations]
  operations_module_name = "custom_operations_module_name"

• ariadne_codegen.contrib.client_forward_refs.ClientForwardRefsPlugin - This plugin changes generated client module moving all Pydantic models imports under the TYPE_CHECKING condition, making them forward references. This greatly improves the import performance of the client module.

• ariadne_codegen.contrib.no_reimports.NoReimportsPlugin - This plugin removes content of generated __init__.py. This is useful in scenarios where generated plugins contain so many Pydantic models that client's eager initialization of entire package on first import is very slow.
