Incremental introspection

Hello,

We are working on database with 10k+ tables. Each table maps into several graphql types and fields. We have a problem with introspecting graphiql, which fails on serializing such huge schema at once. Can you provide incremental introspection loading when each documentation screen loads their data separately? Maybe it can be startup option --inctremental-introspection?

Best regards, Dmitriy.

I use pre-builded schema.json from introspection query for service with 10k+ types. And init application with it.

fetch('graphql/schema.json', {
  method: 'get',
  headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json'},
  credentials: 'include',
}).then(function (response) {
    return JSON.parse(response.text());
}).then(function (schema) {
  ReactDOM.render(
    React.createElement(GraphiQL, {
      schema: buildClientSchema(schema),
      ...
    }),
    document.getElementById('graphiql')
  );      
});

Also need to add function buildClientSchema to globals. Find it in graphiql.js and add window.buildClientSchema= export.buildClientSchema = …

And finally use compression (br, gzip) for faster schema.json loading Have fun

facebook has a 100mb schema, and found the best option was to load the schema from a json file on the local filesystem the introspection query and the http payload are otherwise very slow. hoping to support this in graphiql 1.1.0
