How to specify directives?

[tennox]

Directives as defined by GraphQL spec.

My use case: adding @auth directive for accounts.js:

type PrivateType @auth {
    privateField: String
}

@tennox currently nexus-schema doesn't support custom directive graphql-nexus/nexus#53. You can achieve the same effect using the plugins paradigm or graphq-middleware.

For authorization, fieldAuthorizePlugin ships with nexus-schema. For Federation, nexus would not be the best choice as it doesn't support SDL features like directives. But as @tgriesser has pointed out in graphql-nexus/nexus#53, you might not need federation
