Watch changes from an endpoint

[kitze]

I was wondering if there's a way to setup graphql-code-generator so it can watch an endpoint (i.e localhost:4000) for changes, so when there are changes in the schema, the TS types and the schema.graphql file would be automatically generated.

Hi @kitze ! :)
Currently, we don't have a way to watch endpoints. We do have a flexible watch configuration that allows you to add a list of custom files you need to watch, but it's currently doesn't support endpoints.
I think the only way to do that is to run GraphQL introspection over the endpoint, using polling, and then check if the schema has changed? I'm not sure how it will behave with large schemas, but we can definitely give it a try.
I created an issue for tracking: #5609
