Should I use/import nexus-typegen.ts somewhere?

Hey,

After build the artifacts ./generated/nexus-typegent.ts and ./generated/schema.graphql.

Should I import nexus-typegent.ts and use these somewhere? For example:

extendType({
  type: "Query",
  definition(t) {
    t.field("user", {
      type: "User",
      args: {
        id: idArg(),
        email: stringArg()
      },
      resolve(_, args, ctx) {
        return ctx.userService.getUserBy(args);
      }
    });
  }
});

// services/user-service.ts
import {NexusGenArgTypes, NexusGenInputs} from './generated/nexus-typegent';

export function getUserBy(args: NexusGenArgTypes['Query']['user']) { // <== HERE
  return fetch('/api/users', {
    json: {
      id: args.id,
      email: args.email
    }
  });
}

export function createUser(input: NexusGenInputs["CreateUserInput"]) { // <== HERE
  // Something with 'input'
}

Thank you in advance.

I would also like to know if this is the recommended way of doing things.

I do it all the time, when you want to keep your resolvers thin you must move business logic to separate location and easiest way to type received arguments is like that.
