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
