Document support for graphql spec

[krish7919]

Can we add a note in the docs somewhere where we mention if graphjin supports the full graphql spec?

Something similar to 99designs/gqlgen#760 but in the docs.

Use-case: this will be useful for new developers and prospective adopters to understand the trade-offs in case graphjin doesn't support the full spec!

Sure that makes sense. Our docs are an open wiki so anyone can make this update.

MUTATION	✔️

Does it support all the schema directives too?

The schema is auto generated from the database you can query it with an IntrospectionQuery kinda like in the linked gist. The web ui uses this introspection query. https://gist.github.com/craigbeck/b90915d49fda19d5b2b17ead14dcd6da

@dosco any update on this? I get your earlier comment about docs are open source, but I do not know what to write there as I am unsure of what GraphJin supports (or does not support).

I'm not an expert in the schema stuff in short GraphJin is different from other GraphQL frameworks it does not allow you to define a schema. It auto-discovers your database and generates a schema and then from your GraphQL it auto generates SQL queries. As far I know it supports everything in the GraphQL spec and the generated schema uses almost all the schema directives as well. Here's the code that generates the GraphQL schema from the database schema
