Hello.
I have no a lot of experience in graphQL.
I try to add a custom directive to my project. I just copy-pasted the code from the documentation.
So I created UpperCaseDirective and if I apply it to my model as a decorator it works but I want to apply it on my client-side and it doesn't work. Additionally, I created DeprecatedDirective and after applying the directive for a model's field it started to be deprecated but just in playground. My generated scheme has no mentions about deprecated fields. It is not a problem if I use a single graphql service but for graphQL federation, the fields lose deprecated.

Current behavior

I added 2 directives

// app.t
schemaDirectives: {
    upper: UpperCaseDirective,
    deprecated: DeprecatedDirective,
},

// user-model.ts
export class User {
    @Directive('@deprecated')
    @Field({ description: 'Hashed user id' })
    key: string;

    @Directive('@upper')
    @Field()
    firstName: string;
}

Expected behavior

I expected the directive should appear on the top of graphQL schema. At list deprecated should be after the field.

I confused. I spent many hours to understand what happens and have no result.

Please answer Is an opportunity to add directives to my scheme?

Looks like this is a duplicate of #1239 which was closed due to missing information.
Here is some additional information :-)

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

git clone https:/mrkswrnr/nestjs-graphql-missing-directive.git
cd nestjs-graphql-missing-directive
npm i
npm run start

open http://localhost:3000/graphql

Here is the schema you should see

directive @specifiedBy(url: String!) on SCALAR
type Query {
  tests: [Test!]!
}

type Test {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
}

The upper directive is not defined and missing above the "name" field. Also there is no deprecation directive above the tests query.

Running npm run test or npm run test:e2e also indicates the directive "upper" is missing.

Environment

Nest version: 7.6.1
Nest graphql version: 7.9.1
Apollo Server version: 2.19.0

Additionally, I created DeprecatedDirective and after applying the directive for a model's field it started to be deprecated but just in playground. My generated scheme has no mentions about deprecated fields.

This is the expected behavior.

This issue has been discussed several times in the past. Your directives will be applied to types, but they won't be visible in the generated GraphQL schema file. You can find more details about - why - this is the case here graphql/graphql-js#1343

Hi, I not understand why this issue is closed?Discussion which you mentioned is still open. And in any way, deprecated directive must appears in schema, as in other case it breaks Apollo Federation behaviour.
I interested in custom directives too, and think many another developers.

Because there's no sense to track this in multiple places. Once this is supported by GraphQL, we'll surely implement this in this package.
