What's new in Moon Modeler version 2.7

1. Support for directives in GraphQL projects and diagrams

Directives for types, inputs, interfaces, unions can be defined in section Specifics.

GraphQL - laravel lighthouse directive for Type

To specify field directives, expand the field properties area by clicking the arrow icon and define directives there.
Tip: If you want to preview the generated code immediately, select tab Script in the right-side panel and open the modal form where you can define field properties comfortably.

Graphql directive

For enums, you can define directives the same way as for Types or Inputs. If you want to specify directives also for the enum values, type the directives directly after each enum value.

2. Self-references in GraphQL diagram
