Hi @benawad! I appreciate your work on this project 😉

I would like to suggest using a more TypeScriptish way of creating a GraphQL server, where all your GraphQL types live with your code, not as a separate definitions converted to interfaces by a CLI: https://19majkel94.github.io/type-graphql

I've experienced the pain of matching and syncing schema, interfaces and resolvers code, that's why I've created this lib: https://medium.com/@19majkel94/graphql-typescript-typegraphql-ba0225cb4bed

I would be grateful if you share your thoughts on this with me 😃

Is it production ready? Does it work with libraries that wrap the executable schema (https://github.com/kadirahq/graphql-errors)? Does it work with directives?

1) Sure! 1.0.0 is just a number, there's only a few docs issue to solve until final release. 2) Yes, it also produce GraphQLSchema instance. 3) Not until exposing schema metadata comes to GraphQL specification. However for many libraries there are workarounds like with apollo-cache-control and for user code you can easily use decorators and middlewares 😉

Cool, after my next series I'll take a look at it
