[doc] Update Codegen doc to use Server Preset

Author: eddeee888Created Sep 19, 2024Updated Jul 9, 2025

Hello
I'm from The Guild and I want to propose updating the Generating TS types to use the Server Preset instead of the current setup.

This is now our recommended way to write server code, and I believe it gives users much better DevX:

  • has automatic type wireup for better type-safety
  • results in less runtime errors
  • easier typeDefs and resolvers setup

I'm thinking to keep the similar flow to the current doc and only update relevant bits to keep it short. Happy to chat more!
