Ben KraftandGitHub 3a5bf46da4 Add getter methods to all fields, not just where needed (#126)
## Summary:
If your type implements an interface, we add getter methods for the
shared fields, so that those may be accessed via the interface.  But it
turns out occasionally it's useful to have these getter methods when
they don't implement a GraphQL interface, so you can use two
genqlient-generated types in the same function if they have the same
fields.  (This comes up most often when you have a GraphQL union that
maybe should really be an interface, or if you don't yet support
interfaces implementing other interfaces (indeed our parser doesn't
either).  But one can imagine other use cases.)

We can't predict how you want to do that, so we can't generate the
interface, but we can generate the methods, so you can define the
interface and do a type assertion from there.  Since these methods are
pretty simple to generate, we just do it always.  (As with #120, if
binary size becomes an issue we could later add an option to only
generate methods that are truly needed but including them seems like the
better default.)

This also fixes a subtle and rare bug, which would have become much more
common (indeed existing tests caught it).  Specifically, if you have a
query like
```graphql
fragment FragmentOne on T { id }
fragment FragmentTwo on T { id }
query Q {
    f {   # interface type T
        ...FragmentOne
        ...FragmentTwo
    }
}
```
since both `FragmentOne` and `FragmentTwo` request some common field,
say `id`, we generate a method `GetId` on each one.  But since
`FragmentOne` and `FragmentTwo` are both on `T`, we also include their
interfaces in the interface we generate for the type of `f`, `QFT`.  So
`QFT` includes a method `GetId`.  But on the implementations, the two
methods conflict, and neither gets promoted; this causes various code to
fail to compile.  With this change, this would have happened much more
frequently -- even if only one of the two fragments is on `T`, as long
as both request the field.  Anyway, we now generate explicit methods on
each struct for all of its recursively emebedded fields -- using the
logic from #120 to compute them -- so that we don't need to rely on
method-promotion.

Breaking changes:

New features:

  • genqlient now generates getter methods for all fields, even those which do not implement a genqlient-generated interface; this can be useful for callers who wish to define their own interface and have several unrelated genqlient types which have the same fields implement it.

Bug fixes:

  • In certain very rare cases involving duplicate fields in fragment spreads, genqlient would generate code that failed to compile due to duplicate methods not getting promoted; genqlient now generates correct types. (See #126 for a more complete description.)

v0.3.0

Version 0.3.0 adds several new configuration options, allowing simplification of generated types and configuration of input types, as well as marshalers for all genqlient-generated types.

Breaking changes:

  • Previously, # @genqlient directives applied to entire operations applied inconsistently to fields of input types used by those operations. Specifically, pointer: true, when applied to the operation, would affect all input-field arguments, but omitempty: true would not. Now, all options apply to fields of input types; this is a behavior change in the case of omitempty.

New features:

  • genqlient's types are now safe to JSON-marshal, which can be useful for putting them in a cache, for example. See the docs for details.
  • The new flatten option in the # @genqlient directive allows for a simpler form of type-sharing using fragment spreads. See the docs for details.
  • The new for option in the # @genqlient directive allows applying options to a particular field anywhere it appears in the query. This is especially useful for fields of input types, for which there is otherwise no way to specify options; see the documentation on handling nullable fields for an example, and the # @genqlient directive reference for the full details.

Bug fixes:

v0.2.0

Version 0.2.0 adds several convenience features for using custom scalars, as well as many internal improvements and bug fixes.

Breaking changes:

  • The graphql.Client interface now accepts variables interface{} (containing a JSON-marshalable value) rather than variables map[string]interface{}. Clients implementing the interface themselves will need to change the signature; clients who simply call graphql.NewClient are unaffected.
  • genqlient's handling of the omitempty option has changed to match that of encoding/json, from which it had inadvertently differed. In particular, this means struct-typed arguments with # @genqlient(omitempty: true) will no longer be omitted if they are the zero value. (Struct-pointers are still omitted if nil, so adding pointer: true will typically work fine. It's also now possible to use a custom marshaler to explicitly map zero to null.)

New features:

  • The new bindings.marshaler and bindings.unmarshaler options in genqlient.yaml allow binding to a type without using its standard JSON serialization; see the documentation for details.
  • Multiple genqlient directives may now be applied to the same node, as long as they don't conflict; see the directive documentation for details.

Bug fixes:

  • The omitempty option now works correctly for struct- and map-typed variables, matching encoding/json, which is to say it never omits structs, and omits empty maps. (#43)
  • Generated type-names now abbreviate across multiple components; for example if the path to a type is (MyOperation, Outer, Outer, Inner, OuterInner), it will again be called MyOperationOuterInner. (This regressed in a pre-v0.1.0 refactor.) (#109)
  • Previously, interface fields with # @genqlient(pointer: true) would be unmarshaled to (*MyInterface)(*<nil>), i.e. a pointer to the untyped-nil of the interface type. Now they are unmarshaled as (*MyInterface)(<nil>), i.e. a nil pointer of the pointer-to-interface type, as you would expect.

v0.1.0

First open-sourced version.
