Directives

[mishushakov]

Add support for specifying and implementing GraphQL directives in Garph

Example:

const d = g.directive('Name', { param: g.string() }, ['FIELD', 'ARGUMENT'])

g.type('Query', {
  test: g.string()
    .args({
      test: g.string().addDirective(d, { param: 'Hello' })
    })
    .addDirective(d, { param: 'Hello' })
})
.addDirective(d, { param: 'Hello' })

Hey @danstarns, I've updated the issue. Could you take a look and tell me what you think?

I'm also curious about the use-case for directives. What are people are using them for? Are they used on client-side when making requests?

Here is a relevant issue, with a lot of resources on how directives are used:

@danstarns Would you rather use middleware/plugins instead of directives?
