Proposal: Support the GraphQL Spec Updates

[JonasDoe]

After three years, the GraphQL specification got an update: https://github.com/graphql/graphql-spec/releases/tag/October2021

Would be nice if these updates would be supported sometimes in the future.

This blog post does a really great job of listing some headline changes.

@JonasDoe I've created 2 issues to address spec changes:

• Implement support for @specifiedBy #1687
• Tighten up repeatable directive behaviour #1688

Is there anything else that was introduced that may also need to be implemented?

[JonasDoe]

@wilhelmeek I think intermediate interfaces are missing yet, too.
I hope I didn't screw up when testing it, but I think at the moment the declaration of those intermediate interfaces (e.g. interface AnimalEdge implements Edge {...}) leads to Unexpected Name "implements"

@JonasDoe nope you're absolutely right! This needs both a parser change and a gqlgen change. I've opened issues here:

• Support intermediate interfaces #1690
• Support intermediate interfaces vektah/gqlparser#166

Awesome, thank you! If it makes sense to close this issue here, feel free to do so! :)

Thanks for raising @JonasDoe!
