Graphql: Create custom directives

[conord33]

Is there a way to create custom directives? I was looking to implement authentication using directives by following this blog post, but could not figure out how to define a custom directive from the source code or godocs.

Here is an example from the blog post.

type Vehicle {
  id: ID!
  year: Int!
  make: String!
  model: Int!
  askingPrice: Float
  costBasis: Float @hasRole(role: “MANAGER”)
  numberOfOffers: Int @isAuthenticated
}

It would be nice to be able to define an isAuthenticated directive that will determine whether or not a field should resolve.

Is there currently a way to implement this?

currently, i think graphql-go only supports '''include''' and '''skip''' directives.

@1046102779 do you know if there are any examples of using the include or skip directives in a graphql.ObjectConfig?

Hi guys, any news on this? The example @conord33 provided shows how useful directives are. Looking forward to seeing custom directives in this package.

I'm working on a go version of makeExecutableSchema that might help with this https://github.com/bhoriuchi/graphql-go-tools.

Any news or progress on when graphql-go/graphql is going to support custom directives? I see in the godocs you can create new directives but there's nothing about implementing the logic for them anywhere.

I do not understand why the lib is restrictive about creating custom directives.
// SpecifiedRules The full list of specified directives. var SpecifiedDirectives = []*Directive{ IncludeDirective, SkipDirective, DeprecatedDirective, }
