Structs used in variables need json tags: not intuitive and not documented.

See issue 19.
Structs used in variables need to have json
tags to match the names that the GraphQL server expects. E.g.:
type ProductInput struct {
Name graphql.String `json:"name"`
Location graphql.String `json:"location"`
}
This is not intuitive, and currently not documented.
I should either:
-
Document this so it's clear this must be done.
-
Improve the
graphql
code to make it no longer neccessary to manually specify thosejson
tags.They can be inferred from the field name, just need to convert from Go's MixedCaps case to GraphQL's lowerCamelCase (this is already being done for queries, the code for it exists in
ident
package).
Please add this to the documentation. I probably spent a day or two on this problem :)
