Can i apply schema directives to an object using inline types?

Hi,

Thanks for the great package, really enjoy working with it so far.

I was looking for a way to apply schema directives to an object type but I couldn't find a way to do so.

After digging around in the issues, I noticed a few other issues mentioning directives but it is not apparent to me whether this is supported when using inline types as opposed to the schema language.

Thanks.

Directives are a concept that exists just within the schema definition language SDL, they have no direct runtime equivalent.

If you were to construct your schema from SDL, types hold a reference to the original AST node which contains the directives:

graphql-php/src/Type/Definition/ObjectType.php

Line 61 in 5289a54

public $astNode;

When you are not using SDL, you can just pass arbitrary extra config keys when constructing types:

graphql-php/src/Type/Definition/ObjectType.php

Line 106 in 5289a54

$this->config = $config;

$foo = new ObjectType(['name' => 'Foo', 'arbitrary' => 123]);
$foo->config['arbitrary'];

Thanks @spawnia, I'll use your examples to get it working. Is it possible to get these directives to show up in the SDL when generating one through the SchemaPrinter?
