 ## 🚀 Advanced Features
 
+<details>
+<summary><strong>🎛️ Custom File Generation & Paths</strong></summary>
+
+Control which files are auto-generated and customize their output paths. Perfect for library development, monorepos, or custom project structures.
+
+### Library Mode
+
+Disable all scaffold files for library/module development:
+
+```ts
+// nitro.config.ts
+export default defineNitroConfig({
+  graphql: {
+    framework: 'graphql-yoga',
+    scaffold: false,        // Disable all scaffold files
+    clientUtils: false,     // Disable client utilities
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Fine-Grained Control
+
+Control each file individually:
+
+```ts
+export default defineNitroConfig({
+  graphql: {
+    framework: 'graphql-yoga',
+
+    // Scaffold files
+    scaffold: {
+      graphqlConfig: false,     // Don't generate graphql.config.ts
+      serverSchema: true,       // Generate server/graphql/schema.ts
+      serverConfig: true,       // Generate server/graphql/config.ts
+      serverContext: false,     // Don't generate server/graphql/context.ts
+    },
+
+    // Client utilities (Nuxt only)
+    clientUtils: {
+      index: true,              // Generate app/graphql/index.ts
+      ofetch: false,            // Don't generate ofetch wrappers
+    },
+
+    // SDK files
+    sdk: {
+      main: true,               // Generate default SDK
+      external: true,           // Generate external service SDKs
+    },
+
+    // Type files
+    types: {
+      server: true,             // Generate server types
+      client: true,             // Generate client types
+      external: true,           // Generate external service types
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Custom Paths
+
+Customize where files are generated:
+
+```ts
+export default defineNitroConfig({
+  graphql: {
+    framework: 'graphql-yoga',
+
+    // Method 1: Global paths (affects all files)
+    paths: {
+      serverGraphql: 'src/server/graphql',
+      clientGraphql: 'src/client/graphql',
+      buildDir: '.build',
+      typesDir: '.build/types',
+    },
+
+    // Method 2: Specific file paths
+    scaffold: {
+      serverSchema: 'lib/graphql/schema.ts',
+      serverConfig: 'lib/graphql/config.ts',
+    },
+
+    sdk: {
+      main: 'app/graphql/organization/sdk.ts',
+      external: 'app/graphql/{serviceName}/client-sdk.ts',
+    },
+
+    types: {
+      server: 'types/graphql-server.d.ts',
+      client: 'types/graphql-client.d.ts',
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Path Placeholders
+
+Use placeholders in custom paths:
+
+| Placeholder | Description | Example |
+|------------|-------------|---------|
+| `{serviceName}` | External service name | `github`, `stripe` |
+| `{buildDir}` | Build directory | `.nitro` or `.nuxt` |
+| `{rootDir}` | Root directory | `/Users/you/project` |
+| `{framework}` | Framework name | `nuxt` or `nitro` |
+| `{typesDir}` | Types directory | `.nitro/types` |
+| `{serverGraphql}` | Server GraphQL dir | `server/graphql` |
+| `{clientGraphql}` | Client GraphQL dir | `app/graphql` |
+
+Example:
+```ts
+sdk: {
+  external: '{clientGraphql}/{serviceName}/sdk.ts'
+}
+// → app/graphql/github/sdk.ts
+// → app/graphql/stripe/sdk.ts
+```
+
+### Service-Specific Paths
+
+Customize paths for individual external services:
+
+```ts
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  nitro: {
+    graphql: {
+      framework: 'graphql-yoga',
+
+      // Global default for all external services
+      sdk: {
+        external: 'app/graphql/{serviceName}/sdk.ts'
+      },
+
+      externalServices: [
+        {
+          name: 'github',
+          endpoint: 'https://api.github.com/graphql',
+          schema: 'https://api.github.com/graphql',
+
+          // GitHub-specific paths (override global config)
+          paths: {
+            sdk: 'app/graphql/organization/github-sdk.ts',
+            types: 'types/github.d.ts',
+            ofetch: 'app/graphql/organization/github-client.ts'
+          }
+        },
+        {
+          name: 'stripe',
+          endpoint: 'https://api.stripe.com/graphql',
+          schema: 'https://api.stripe.com/graphql',
+
+          // Stripe-specific paths
+          paths: {
+            sdk: 'app/graphql/payments/stripe-sdk.ts',
+            types: 'types/payments/stripe.d.ts',
+            // ofetch uses global config
+          }
+        },
+        {
+          name: 'shopify',
+          endpoint: 'https://api.shopify.com/graphql',
+          // No paths → uses global config
+          // → app/graphql/shopify/sdk.ts
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+### Path Resolution Priority
+
+When resolving file paths, the system follows this priority order:
+
+1. **Service-specific path** (for external services): `service.paths.sdk`
+2. **Category config**: `sdk.external` or `sdk.main`
+3. **Global paths**: `paths.clientGraphql`
+4. **Framework defaults**: Nuxt vs Nitro defaults
+
+Example:
+```ts
+// Given this config:
+{
+  paths: { clientGraphql: 'custom/graphql' },
+  sdk: { external: '{clientGraphql}/{serviceName}/sdk.ts' },
+  externalServices: [
+    {
+      name: 'github',
+      paths: { sdk: 'app/org/github-sdk.ts' }  // ← Wins (priority 1)
+    },
+    {
+      name: 'stripe',
+      // Uses sdk.external (priority 2)
+      // → custom/graphql/stripe/sdk.ts
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Use Cases
+
+**Monorepo structure:**
+```ts
+paths: {
+  serverGraphql: 'packages/api/src/graphql',
+  clientGraphql: 'packages/web/src/graphql',
+  typesDir: 'packages/types/src/generated',
+}
+```
+
+**Multiple external service organizations:**
+```ts
+externalServices: [
+  {
+    name: 'github',
+    paths: { sdk: 'app/graphql/vcs/github-sdk.ts' }
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'gitlab',
+    paths: { sdk: 'app/graphql/vcs/gitlab-sdk.ts' }
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'stripe',
+    paths: { sdk: 'app/graphql/billing/stripe-sdk.ts' }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+**Library development (no scaffolding):**
+```ts
+{
+  scaffold: false,
+  clientUtils: false,
+  sdk: { enabled: true },    // Only generate SDKs
+  types: { enabled: true },  // Only generate types
+}
+```

 - ✅ Use correct path: `nitro-graphql/utils/define`
 - ✅ Use named exports in resolvers
 
+**Vite: "Parse failure: Expected ';', '}' or <eof>" on GraphQL files**
+- ✅ Add `graphql()` plugin from `nitro-graphql/vite`
+- ✅ Ensure `graphql()` is placed **before** `nitro()` in plugins array
+- ✅ Example:
+  ```ts
+  import { graphql } from 'nitro-graphql/vite'
+
+  export default defineConfig({

+  })
+  ```
+
+**RollupError: "[exportName]" is not exported by "[file].resolver.ts"**
+
+This error occurs when the resolver scanner can't find the expected export in your resolver file. Common causes:
+
+1. **Using default export instead of named export** ❌
+   ```ts
+   // ❌ WRONG - Will not be detected
+   export default defineQuery({
+     users: () => [...]
+   })
+   ```
+
+   ```ts
+   // ✅ CORRECT - Use named export
+   export const userQueries = defineQuery({
+     users: () => [...]
+   })
+   ```
+
+2. **Not using a define function** ❌
+   ```ts
+   // ❌ WRONG - Plain object won't be detected
+   export const resolvers = {
+     Query: {
+       users: () => [...]
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+   ```ts
+   // ✅ CORRECT - Use defineResolver, defineQuery, etc.
+   export const userResolver = defineResolver({
+     Query: {
+       users: () => [...]
+     }
+   })
+   ```
+
+3. **File naming doesn't match export** ❌
+   ```ts
+   // ❌ File: uploadFile.resolver.ts but export is named differently
+   export const fileUploader = defineMutation({...})
+   ```
+
+   ```ts
+   // ✅ CORRECT - Export name can be anything, as long as it uses a define function
+   export const uploadFile = defineMutation({...})
+   export const fileUploader = defineMutation({...}) // Both work!
+   ```
+
+4. **Syntax errors preventing parsing**
+   - Check for TypeScript compilation errors in the file
+   - Ensure imports are valid
+   - Verify no missing brackets or syntax issues
+
+**How resolver scanning works:**
+- The module uses `oxc-parser` to scan `.resolver.ts` files
+- It looks for **named exports** using these functions:
+  - `defineResolver` - Complete resolver with Query, Mutation, etc.
+  - `defineQuery` - Query-only resolvers
+  - `defineMutation` - Mutation-only resolvers
+  - `defineType` - Custom type resolvers
+  - `defineSubscription` - Subscription resolvers
+  - `defineDirective` - Directive resolvers
+- Only exports using these functions are included in the virtual module
+
+**Debugging steps:**
+1. Check your resolver file uses named exports: `export const name = defineQuery({...})`
+2. Verify you're using one of the define functions listed above
+3. Look for TypeScript/syntax errors in the file
+4. Restart the dev server after fixing
+5. If issues persist, simplify the resolver to test (single query)

+
+```
+## GOAL
+Set up nitro-graphql in this Nuxt project with a User management GraphQL API.
+
+## PREREQUISITES
+Check if this is a Nuxt project by looking for nuxt.config.ts in the root.
+
+## STEP 1: INSTALL DEPENDENCIES
+Action: Run this command
+Command: pnpm add nitro-graphql graphql-yoga graphql
+Validation: Check package.json contains these packages
+
+## STEP 2: CONFIGURE NUXT
+File: nuxt.config.ts
+Action: EDIT (add to existing config, don't replace)
+Add these properties:
+
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  modules: ['nitro-graphql/nuxt'],  // Add this module
+  nitro: {
+    graphql: {
+      framework: 'graphql-yoga',
+    },
+  },
+})
+
+Validation: Check the file has modules array and nitro.graphql config
+
+## STEP 3: CREATE SCHEMA
+File: server/graphql/schema.graphql
+Action: CREATE NEW FILE (create server/graphql/ directory if needed)
+Content:
+
+type User {
+  id: ID!
+  name: String!
+  email: String!
+}
+
+type Query {
+  users: [User!]!
+  user(id: ID!): User
+}
+
+type Mutation {
+  _empty: String
+}
+
+Validation: File should be in server/graphql/ directory
+
+## STEP 4: CREATE CONTEXT (Optional but recommended)
+File: server/graphql/context.ts
+Action: CREATE NEW FILE (auto-generated on first run, but create manually for clarity)
+Content:
+
+// Extend H3 event context with custom properties
+declare module 'h3' {
+  interface H3EventContext {
+    // Add your custom context properties here
+    // Example:
+    // db?: Database
+    // auth?: { userId: string }
+  }
+}
+
+Note: This file lets you add custom properties to resolver context
+Validation: File exists in server/graphql/
+
+## STEP 5: CREATE CONFIG (Optional)
+File: server/graphql/config.ts
+Action: CREATE NEW FILE (auto-generated, customize if needed)
+Content:
+
+// Custom GraphQL Yoga configuration
+export default defineGraphQLConfig({
+  // Custom context enhancer, plugins, etc.
+  // See: https://the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs
+})
+
+Note: Use this to customize GraphQL Yoga options
+Validation: File exists in server/graphql/
+
+## STEP 6: CREATE RESOLVERS
+File: server/graphql/users.resolver.ts
+Action: CREATE NEW FILE
+Content:
+
+// ⚠️ CRITICAL: Use NAMED EXPORTS (not default export)
+export const userQueries = defineQuery({
+  users: async (_, __, context) => {
+    // context is H3EventContext - access event, storage, etc.
+    return [
+      { id: '1', name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' },
+      { id: '2', name: 'Jane Smith', email: 'jane@example.com' }
+    ]
+  },
+  user: async (_, { id }, context) => {
+    // Third parameter is context (H3EventContext)
+    const users = [
+      { id: '1', name: 'John Doe', email: 'john@example.com' },
+      { id: '2', name: 'Jane Smith', email: 'jane@example.com' }
+    ]
+    return users.find(u => u.id === id) || null
+  }
+})
+
+Validation: File ends with .resolver.ts and uses named export
+
+## STEP 7: START DEV SERVER
+Command: pnpm dev
+Expected Output: Server starts on http://localhost:3000
+Wait for: "Nitro built in X ms" message
+Note: context.ts and config.ts will auto-generate if you skipped steps 4-5
+
+## VALIDATION CHECKLIST
+- [ ] Navigate to http://localhost:3000/api/graphql - should show GraphQL playground
+- [ ] Health check: http://localhost:3000/api/graphql/health - should return OK
+- [ ] Run this query in playground:
+  ```graphql
+  query {
+    users {
+      id
+      name
+      email
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+  Expected: Returns 2 users
+- [ ] Check .nuxt/types/nitro-graphql-server.d.ts exists (types auto-generated)
+
+## FILE STRUCTURE CREATED
+```
+server/
+  graphql/
+    schema.graphql          ← GraphQL type definitions
+    context.ts              ← H3 event context augmentation (optional)

+  types/
+    nitro-graphql-server.d.ts  ← Auto-generated types
+graphql.config.ts           ← Auto-generated (for IDE tooling)
+```
+
+## CRITICAL RULES (MUST FOLLOW)
+❌ DO NOT use default exports in resolvers
+   Wrong: export default defineQuery({...})
+   Right: export const userQueries = defineQuery({...})
+
+❌ DO NOT name files without .resolver.ts extension
+   Wrong: users.ts or user-resolver.ts
+   Right: users.resolver.ts or user.resolver.ts
+
+✅ DO use named exports for all resolvers
+✅ DO place files in server/graphql/ directory
+✅ DO restart dev server if types don't generate
+
+## TROUBLESHOOTING
+Issue: "GraphQL endpoint returns 404"
+Fix: Ensure 'nitro-graphql/nuxt' is in modules array (not just 'nitro-graphql')
+
+Issue: "defineQuery is not defined"
+Fix: Restart dev server - auto-imports need to regenerate
+
+Issue: "Types not generating"
+Fix: Check .nuxt/types/nitro-graphql-server.d.ts exists, if not restart dev server
+
+Issue: "Module not found: nitro-graphql"
+Fix: Run pnpm install again, check package.json has the package
+
+## NEXT STEPS (After Setup Works)
+1. Add mutations: "Add createUser and deleteUser mutations with H3 storage"
+2. Extend context: "Add database connection to context.ts and use it in resolvers"
+3. Use types: "Import and use TypeScript types from #graphql/server in resolvers"
+4. Add auth: "Add authentication middleware using context in resolvers"
+5. Custom config: "Configure GraphQL Yoga plugins in config.ts"
+
+Now implement this setup step-by-step.

+TYPE USAGE:
+After dev server restarts, types are auto-generated in:
+- .nitro/types/nitro-graphql-server.d.ts (server types)
+- .nuxt/types/nitro-graphql-server.d.ts (for Nuxt)
+
+Import types:
+import type { Post, CreatePostInput } from '#graphql/server'
+
+KEY RULES:
+- Use "extend type" to add to existing Query/Mutation
+- Named exports required
+- Context has H3 event properties
+- Types auto-generate on file changes
+
+Now implement this feature.

+
+### Working with Your GraphQL API
+
+Once set up, you can ask Claude Code for help with:
+
+```
+"Add authentication to my GraphQL resolvers"
+"Create a custom @auth directive for field-level permissions"
+"Set up type generation for client-side queries"
+"Add pagination to my users query"
+"Connect to an external GitHub GraphQL API"
+"Debug: my types aren't generating in .nitro/types/"
+"Optimize resolver performance using DataLoader"
+```
+
+### Tips for Better Results
+
+- **Start specific**: Include your framework (Nuxt/Nitro), version, and goal
+- **Reference docs**: Mention "following nitro-graphql conventions" to align with best practices
+- **Show errors**: Paste error messages for faster debugging
+- **Test iteratively**: Run `pnpm dev` after each change to verify
+
