Is Ariadne Codegen library intended for use as part of ongoing development?

Apologies if this question should have be asked in a different forum, but wondering about the intended use of this library. It looks primarily designed to bootstrap an entire backend server based on a GraphQL schema (which is neat). I wonder if you also intend for it to be used as a more modest utility that keeps a file (or files) of generated pydantic dataclasses/models in sync with the GraphQL schema.

So the workflow would be:

• Modify the GraphQL schema
• Run the utility
• Reference any newly generated models in resolvers (or immediately get the benefit of having existing models updated)

Perhaps the contract would be: each *.graphql file in the repo gets it's own *.py companion with the relevant type definitions.

This is not what Ariadne Codegen does. Instead it creates Python package implementing the GraphQL client for a given schema and GraphQL queries.

Got it - thank you for the clarification
