json-schema: use $ref from external definitions file

[durdenx]

The json-schema specifictaion allows the use of an external definitions file: https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/structuring.html#id1. This avoids repeating types in all files. Is it possible with graphql-mesh's json-schema handler ?

Example:

{ "$ref": "definitions.json#/address" }

Where definitions.json is a file in the same directory and contains an address type:

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
  "address": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "street_address": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "city": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "state": {
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "required": [
      "street_address",
      "city",
      "state"
    ]
  }
}

It is not possible now, and PRs are welcome!

Is external ref available for yaml spec?
I am getting an error saying:

Yes it works but you should use json pointer syntax.
