Hello, I am looking for an example on how to implement query directive. Documentation mentions two query directive `@skip` and `@include` and I am trying to implement `@skipCache` query directive. The idea is that if request/client annotates field with `@skipCache` the server will always recalculate the latest values (instead of using cached one).

:wave: `@skip` and `@include` are "special" built-in directives

take a look at <https://opensource.expediagroup.com/graphql-kotlin/docs/schema-generator/customizing-schemas/directives/> for details on how to create custom directive

Thank you Dariusz. That documentation is about Schema directives. Is there an example on how to do query directive (sometimes called operation directive)?

I am unsure whether you can easily create query directive as it has to be somehow understood by your client

gql java docs only cover schema directives as well (<https://www.graphql-java.com/documentation/v17/|https://www.graphql-java.com/documentation/v17/>)
