Apollo CLI for GraphQL client tooling, providing code generation and client-side schema operations for TypeScript, Swift, and Flow projects. It has been mostly replaced by Apollo's Rover CLI.
Use cases
- generate typed GraphQL client code from a schema
- generate Swift code for Apollo iOS from GraphQL operations
- generate TypeScript types for GraphQL queries
- download a GraphQL schema for client-side codegen
- run client-side GraphQL operations against a schema
- migrate legacy Apollo client tooling workflows
When to choose
- maintaining an existing project already using the Apollo client CLI
- generating Swift or TypeScript client code with Apollo's legacy toolchain
- you need the specific apollo client:codegen workflows not yet ported to Rover
When to avoid
- starting a new GraphQL project - use Rover or the Apollo GraphQL extension instead
- server-side schema management, publishing, or checks - Rover handles those
- you need actively developed features or support
