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).

👋 @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

[Dusan Hornik]

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/)
