Conditional Field Manipulation

Conditional Field Manipulation

Addition of meta directives @if and @unless to the GraphQL schema, to conditionally execute a nested directive on the field.

In this query, users "Leo" and "Peter" get their names converted to upper case, while "Martin" does not:

query {
  users {
    name
      @passOnwards(as: "userName")
      @applyField(
        name: "_inArray"
        arguments: {
          value: $userName
          array: ["Leo", "John", "Peter"]
        }
        passOnwardsAs: "isSpecialUser"
      )
      @if(
        condition: $isSpecialUser
      )
        @strUpperCase
  }
}

...producing:

{
  "data": {
    "users": [
      {
        "name": "LEO"
      },
      {
        "name": "Martin"
      },
      {
        "name": "PETER"
      }
    ]
  }
}
