Annotation Interface Name

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({TYPE,FIELD,PARAMETER,METHOD})
@Documented
public @interface Name

Allows users to name a field or argument in the GraphQL Schema

For example, a user might annotate a method's parameter as such:

 public class CharacterService {
     @Query("searchByName")
     public List<Character> getByName(
                      @Name("name")
                      @DefaultValue("Han Solo") {
         //...
     }
 }
 

Schema generation of this would result in a stanza such as:

 type Query {
         searchByName(name: String = "Han Solo"): [Character]
     }
 

Or a user might annotate a class' property as such:

 @Type("Starship")
 @Input("StarshipInput")
 @Description("A starship in Star Wars")
 public class Starship {
     @Name("uuid")
     @Description("uuid of a new Starship")
     private String id;
     private String name;
     private float length;

     // getters/setters...
 }
 

Schema generation of this would result in a stanza such as:

 "A starship in Star Wars"
 input Starship {
   "uuid of a new Starship"
   uuid: String
   name: String
   length: Float
 }
