Metadata support for schema type definitions

See original GitHub issue

As far as I see there is currently no support to add metadata to a schema definition. Having a means to specify metadata on the various objects in graphql.schema package would allow additional server-side processing logic to be based on it.

I would like to propose adding Builder.metadata(String, Object) and Builder.metadata(Map<String, Object> metadata) methods to the various builder classes (and constructors), and having it available in data fetchers and type resolvers.

(Maybe instead of a Map<String, Object> the metadata could also be defined as a custom GraphQL introspection type __METADATA)

I am closing this issue: We will not add completely arbitrary metadata to GraphQLSchema or Ast Nodes because it would break immutability.

But we recently added Map<String, String> to Field and will probably add it to every Node. See https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java/pull/1529

Because that this PR is so old: if you have new input please open a new Issue. Thanks
