GraphQXL is a new language built on top of the GraphQL syntax that extends the original
language with some additional features useful for creating scalable and big server side schemas.

# Documentation

There is a WIP version of the `GraphQXL book` with some useful docs, you can check it [here](https://gabotechs.github.io/graphqxl)

# Features
### Object inheritance

Use the spread operator to inherit fields from other types or inputs. Descriptions
will also be inherited.

[Try it yourself!](https://graphqxl-explorer.vercel.app?code=dHlwZSBfT3RoZXJUeXBlIHsKICAgICJEZXNjcmlwdGlvbnMgYXJlIGFsc28gaW5oZXJpdGVkIgogICAgYmFyOiBJbnQhCn0KCnR5cGUgTXlUeXBlIHsKICAgIGZvbzogU3RyaW5nIQogICAgLi4uX090aGVyVHlwZQp9)

Source GraphQXL

Compiled GraphQL

```graphql
type _OtherType {
"Descriptions are also inherited"
bar: Int!
}

type MyType {
foo: String!
..._OtherType
}
#GraphQXL
```

```graphql
type MyType {
foo: String!
"Descriptions are also inherited"
bar: Int!
}

#GraphQL
```

### Generics

Declare generic types and inputs in order to reuse common structures across your schema.

Source GraphQXL

Compiled GraphQL

```graphql
type Generic {
foo: T
}

type MyStringType = Generic

type MyIntType = Generic

#GraphQXL
```

```graphql
type MyStringType {
foo: String!
}

type MyIntType {
foo: Int!
}

#GraphQL
```

### Modifiers

Source GraphQXL

Compiled GraphQL

```graphql
type _MyType {
foo: String
bar: String!
}

type MyTypeRequired = Required<_MyType>

type MyTypeOptional = Optional<_MyType>

#GraphQXL
```

```graphql
type MyTypeRequired {
foo: String!
bar: String!
}

type MyTypeOptional {
foo: String
bar: String
}
#GraphQL
```

### Import statements

Import other `.graphqxl` files and use their definitions in the current file.

Source GraphQXL

Compiled GraphQL

```graphql
# my_file.graphqxl
import "other_file"

type MyType {
foo: OtherType!
}
#GraphQXL
```
```graphql
# other_file.graphqxl
type OtherType {
bar: Int!
}
