@stream and @defer directives

[MarcBT]

Hello 👋!

If I'm not wrong, the @stream and @defer directives are not available with type-graphql.

I'm curious to know if there are plans to make them available in type-graphql.

Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this kind of question
And thanks @MichalLytek for your hard work to build and maintain this project!

From my understanding, there's nothing to do on TypeGraphQL side.

@stream and @defer directives are placed on the client side (and TypeGraphQL has support for server side directives too).

As TypeGraphQL is built upon the graphql-js, we just need to wait for it to stabilize and become a part of the official spec.

Also, looks like there's no new fields or API for declaring the schema on the graphql-js side. The only thing that might need adjustments is the support for returning async iterable from resolve in order to work with streams, as right now resolvers are wrapped in async/await in order to apply middlewares and other layers.

Hi @MichalLytek, when I try to use @defer with Yoga, @graphql-yoga/plugin-defer-stream, and Relay I get Unknown directive 'defer'.

I think all is missing is to define the @defer directive, how can I do it with typegraphql?

register in directives buildSchema option, like all other directives?

Ah yes it was it 😅 thanks
