How can I add schema directives?

[codler]

I like to create Enforcing access permissions as described here, so I can do Authorization and ACL
https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphql-tools/schema-directives/#enforcing-access-permissions
I cant find anything in the documentation

You should be able to use directives the same way in SDL (see this example from tests - at the very bottom). Those directives should be available on type instance via $type->astNode or $type->extensionASTNodes (if type was extended).

@vladar How can you use schema directives from php when extending ObjectType. Do I need to pass an extension/ASTNode in the $config?

[mwijngaard]

@Tyler-Gauch directives are not intended to be used this way, see: graphql/graphql-js#746 (comment) . You can inject your own metadata into the config object for tracking runtime information.

@mwijngaard You are right. We will also add extensions feature in one of the next versions. But for now, just use a custom config. It still makes sense to keep custom metadata under extensions config key.

Closing this but feel free to re-open if you want to continue the discussion.
