Ben KraftandGitHub 5211442843 Add a new option to treat an interface like an object (#97)
## Summary:
The basic idea here is if you only request interface fields (no
fragments) you may not care about the concrete type, and so we could
just generate a struct as if it were an object.  I don't think it's a
good idea to do that by default, because then if you later add a
fragment all your code totally changes, but it's quite reasonable as an
option!

Most of the code involved is just wiring and validation; the
core implementation is literally just: treat it like an object.

GraphQL

# The quasi-directive @genqlient is used to configure genqlient on a
# query-by-query basis.
#
# The syntax of the directive is just like a GraphQL directive (as defined
# below), except it goes in a comment on the line immediately preceding the
# field. (This is because GraphQL expects directives in queries to be defined
# by the server, not by the client, so it would reject a real @genqlient
# directive as nonexistent.)
#
# Directives may be applied to fields, arguments, or the entire query.
# Directives on the line preceding the query apply to all relevant nodes in
# the query; other directives apply to all nodes on the following line. (In
# all cases it's fine for there to be other comments in between the directive
# and the node(s) to which it applies.) For example, in the following query:
# # @genqlient(n: "a")
#
# # @genqlient(n: "b")
# #
# # Comment describing the query
# #
# # @genqlient(n: "c")
# query MyQuery(arg1: String,
# # @genqlient(n: "d")
# arg2: String, arg3: String,
# arg4: String,
# ) {
# # @genqlient(n: "e")
# field1, field2
# field3
# }
# the directive "a" is ignored, "b" and "c" apply to all relevant nodes in the
# query, "d" applies to arg2 and arg3, and "e" applies to field1 and field2.
directive genqlient(
# If set, this argument will be omitted if it's equal to its Go zero
# value, or is an empty slice.
#
# For example, given the following query:
# # @genqlient(omitempty: true)
# query MyQuery(arg: String) { ... }
# genqlient will generate a function
# MyQuery(ctx context.Context, client graphql.Client, arg string) ...
# which will pass {"arg": null} to GraphQL if arg is "", and the actual
# value otherwise.
#
# Only applicable to arguments of nullable types.
omitempty: Boolean
# If set, this argument or field will use a pointer type in Go. Response
# types always use pointers, but otherwise we typically do not.
#
# This can be useful if it's a type you'll need to pass around (and want a
# pointer to save copies) or if you wish to distinguish between the Go
# zero value and null (for nullable fields).
pointer: Boolean
# If set, this field will use a struct type in Go, even if it's an interface.
#
# This is useful when you have a query like
# query MyQuery {
# myInterface { myField }
# }
# where you are requesting only shared fields of an interface. By default,
# genqlient still generates an interface type, for consistency. But this
# isn't necessary: a struct would do just fine since there are no
# type-specific fields. Setting `struct: true` tells genqlient to do that.
#
# Note that this is only allowed when there are no fragments in play, such
# that all fields are on the interface type. Note that if you later add a
# fragment, you'll have to remove this option, and the types will change.
struct: Boolean
# If set, this argument or field will use the given Go type instead of a
# genqlient-generated type.
#
# The value should be the fully-qualified type name to use for the field,
# for example:
# time.Time
# map[string]interface{}
# []github.com/you/yourpkg/subpkg.MyType
# Note that the type is the type of the whole field, e.g. if your field in
# GraphQL has type `[DateTime]`, you'd do
# # @genqlient(bind: "[]time.Time")
# (But you're not required to; if you want to map to some type DateList,
# you can do that, as long as its UnmarshalJSON method can accept a list
# of datetimes.)
#
# See bindings in genqlient.yaml for more details; this is effectively to a
# local version of that global setting and should be used with similar care.
# If set to "-", overrides any such global setting and uses a
# genqlient-generated type.
bind: String
) on
# genqlient directives can go almost anywhere, although some options are only
# applicable in certain locations as described above.
