Hi!
Please, it is possible to change name of ENUM while generating graphql schema?
In my case, I need to have enum name like this name (lowercase). Kotlin does not support this naming, because Conflicting declarations: enum entry name, public final val name: String. So, I want to name it with UPPERCASE and then generate enum names to GraphQL schema as lowercase (example below). I tried to use @GraphQLName, but it doesn't work with ENUM classes 😞

enum class ApplicantsUpdateColumn {
    @GraphQLName("id")
    ID,

    @GraphQLName("data")
    DATA,

    @GraphQLName("name")
    NAME //I want to have this as lowercase "name"
}

I can't give it a different name, because of data model.. But I will try your suggestion with @JsonValue or directive.. thank you! 🙂

well the underlying issue is that enums have name (which is generally an alias to toString()) so you cannot have it named like that

[Dariusz Kuc]

as for the GraphQLName it looks like we support renaming enum class but not the values

[Dariusz Kuc]

we probably could support renaming the values as well

[Dariusz Kuc]

i believe we didn’t support it due to the deserialization issues when they are used as input properties

[Dariusz Kuc]

e.g. see https://expediagroup.github.io/graphql-kotlin/docs/schema-generator/customizing-schemas/renaming-fields

[Dariusz Kuc]

so if you rename your enum values you would also need to provide some additional jackson annotations to handle the deserialization
