Globally extend connections? about pothos

I'll try to find some time to work on this next week

Building a schema requires all types to be defined using the same builder instance, but you can split that actual definitions into multiple files.

There are some tips on ways you can structure your app in https://giraphql.com/guide/app-layout

For concrete examples there are example apps in the test directory for each package you could look at (only a few of these split things I to many files). Eg https://github.com/hayes/giraphql/tree/main/packages/core/tests/examples/giraffes

For questions, I don't currently have a discord, for now I would recommend https://github.com/hayes/giraphql/discussions

Unfortunately there isn't a great way to do this right now. It should be pretty easy to add though. I think to support this I would need to add 2 things: a way to add fields to all connection objects, and a way to extend the type for connections so that a connection resolver can be expected to return objects with additional properties.

Thanks! I appreciate the quick response.

On a somewhat related topic (I can open a separate PR if you wish), is there an example or documentation of splitting up the builder across multiple files. I can only get the schema to load when all my builder calls come from an instance initialized in the same file. Or a discord where I could ask questions?

Thanks! The example helped. The difference was importing the entirety of the file instead of just exports -- ie,

import "./person"

NOT import * from './person'
