graphql-compose is a TypeScript toolkit for programmatically building and modifying complex GraphQL schemas on Node.js. It provides a type registry, resolvers, type editing (add/remove fields, args, interfaces), and plugins that generate GraphQL types from ORMs and other data sources.

Use cases

• build a graphql schema programmatically in node.js
• generate graphql types from mongoose models
• modify existing graphql types by adding or removing fields
• wrap rest apis with graphql types
• write a custom graphql schema generator
• create relations between graphql types via resolvers
• convert graphql output types to input types

When to choose

• you need fine-grained programmatic control over graphql schema construction
• you are building a schema generator or plugin on top of graphql
• you want to generate graphql types from ORMs like mongoose or elasticsearch mappings
• you need to dynamically edit types, fields, args, or interfaces at runtime

When to avoid

• you just need a simple schema from SDL strings - graphql-tools may suffice
• you are not using node.js or a javascript runtime
• you want a fully declarative schema-first workflow without programmatic type manipulation
