### Building, Packaging and Deployment
It is common to build a SilverStripe application into a package on one environment (e.g. a CI server),
and then deploy the package to a (separate) webserver environment(s).
This approach relies on all auto-generated files required by SilverStripe to
be included in the package, or generated on the fly on each webserver environment.
The easiest way to ensure this is to commit auto generated files to source control.
If those changes are considered too noisy, here's some pointers for auto-generated files
to trigger and include in a deployment package:
* `public/_resources/`: Frontend assets copied from the (inaccessible) `vendor/` folder
via [silverstripe/vendor-plugin](https://github.com/silverstripe/vendor-plugin).
See [Templates: Requirements](/developer_guides/templates/requirements#exposing-assets-webroot).
* `.graphql/` and `public/_graphql/`: Schema and type definitions required by CMS and any GraphQL API endpoint. Generated through
[silverstripe/graphql v4](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-graphql).
Triggered by `dev/build`, or [GraphQL Schema Build](/developer_guides/graphql/getting_started/building_the_schema).
* Various recipes create default files in `app/` and `public/` on `composer install`
and `composer update` via
[silverstripe/recipe-plugin](https://github.com/silverstripe/recipe-plugin).

SilverStripe projects ship with [silverstripe/vendor-plugin](https://github.com/silverstripe/vendor-plugin).
This Composer plugin automatically tries to expose assets from your project and installed modules after installation, or after an update.

slow things down.
To mitigate this, the generated code for each type is cached against a signature.
If the type hasn't changed, it doesn't re-render. This reduces build times to **under one second** for incremental changes.

### Viewing the generated code
By default, the generated code is placed in the `.graphql/` directory in the root of your project.
It is not meant to be accessible through your webserver (which is ensured by dot-prefixing)
and keeping it outside of the `public/` webroot.
Additional files are generated for CMS operation in `public/_graphql/`, and
those are meant to be accessible through your webserver.
See [Tips and Tricks: Schema Introspection](tips_and_tricks#schema-introspection)
to find out how to generate these files for your own schema.

## Schema introspection
## Schema introspection {#schema-introspection}
Some GraphQL clients such as [Apollo](http://apollographql.com) require some level of introspection
into the schema. The `SchemaTranscriber` class will persist this data to a static file in an event
that is fired on completion of the schema build. This file can then be consumed by a client side library
like Apollo. The `silverstripe-admin` module is built to consume this data and expects it to be in a

By default, the file will be stored in `public/_graphql`. Files are only generated for the `silverstripe/admin` module.
If you need these types for your own uses, add a new handler:
```yml

graphqlTranscribe:
on: [ graphqlSchemaBuild.mySchema ]
handler: '%$SilverStripe\GraphQL\Schema\Services\SchemaTranscribeHandler'

This handler will only apply to events fired in the `mySchema` context.
