Allow compatibility when using introspection derived client schema's (#145)
During generation we parse the schema using [`gqlparser.LoadSchema`](https://github.com/vektah/gqlparser/blob/2a3d320c0f1d31f404cc36f6cce8f7f93b016682/gqlparser.go#L11) over [here](https://github.com/Khan/genqlient/blob/a4aa6d9bb0f45cb71b3b7816742172011d96fbc1/generate/parse.go#L34). As you can see `gqlparser.LoadSchema` uses it's sub directory declared [`validator.LoadSchema`](https://github.com/vektah/gqlparser/blob/2a3d320c0f1d31f404cc36f6cce8f7f93b016682/gqlparser.go#L12) - but prepends a schema with [typical implicit declared types](https://github.com/vektah/gqlparser/blob/2a3d320c0f1d31f404cc36f6cce8f7f93b016682/validator/prelude.go#L5). Full server schema introspection exposes the entire schema explicitly, hence causing a clash with this prelude schema rendering introspection derived schemas to fail. Here I just introduce a two stage schema parsing step to accomodate both implicit and explicit sdl's. -- I have also added to the FAQ as per https://github.com/Khan/genqlient/issues/4 how we can use introspection to fetch the schema when using `genqlient`.

Or, you can bind it to any other type, perhaps one with size-checked constructors; see the [`genqlient.yaml` documentation](genqlient.yaml) for more details.

This is supported by default! All genqlient-generated types support both JSON-marshaling and unmarshaling, which can be useful for putting them in a cache, inspecting them by hand, using them in mocks (although this is [not recommended](#-test-my-graphql-apis)), or anything else you can do with JSON. It's not guaranteed that marshaling a genqlient type will produce the exact GraphQL input -- we try to get as close as we can but there are some limitations around Go zero values -- but unmarshaling again should produce the value genqlient returned. That is:

### … let me use introspection to fetch my client schema?
|
||||
|

This is currently not supported by default. You can however use a tool such as [gqlfetch](https://github.com/suessflorian/gqlfetch) to build your client schema using introspection and then let `genqlient` continue from there. Moreover, you can define yourself what happens when `go:generate` is run via managing your own _go runnable_ progam.
|
||||
|
||||
For example - suppose the file `generate/main.go`;
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"context"
|
||||
"fmt"
|
||||
"os"
|
||||
|
||||
"github.com/Khan/genqlient/generate"
|
||||
"github.com/suessflorian/gqlfetch"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
schema, err := gqlfetch.BuildClientSchema(context.Background(), "http://localhost:8080/query")
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
fmt.Println(err)
|
||||
os.Exit(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if err = os.WriteFile("schema.graphql", []byte(schema), 0644); err != nil {
|
||||
fmt.Println(err)
|
||||
os.Exit(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
generate.Main()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This can now be invoked upon `go generate` via `//go:generate yourpkg/generate`.
