Contexts provide a way for a subgraph to share data between types of a nested-type hierarchy without overloading entity keys with extraneous fields. Contexts also preserve the separation of concerns between different subgraphs. In an entity, a nested object may have a dependency on an ancestor type and thus need access to that ancestor's field(s). diff --git a/docs/source/federated-types/federated-directives.mdx b/docs/source/federated-types/federated-directives.mdx index 59ba58dee..8f0812af1 100644 --- a/docs/source/federated-types/federated-directives.mdx +++ b/docs/source/federated-types/federated-directives.mdx @@ -924,6 +924,8 @@ If different subgraphs use different versions of a directive's corresponding spe + + The `@context` directive defines a named context from which a field of the annotated type can be passed to a receiver of the context.
