@GraphQLSupplyAsAsync for GraphQLApi Resouces or Resolver Methods

[michaelsonnleitner]

Accoring to your Async Sample it would be nice to have the possibilty to annotate graphql resouces or resolvers as async.

I think this is a very common usecase that resolvers depending on a @source type is executed in async mode.

Here a sample....

@GraphQLApi
@GraphQLSupplyAsAsync
public class PersonResource {

    @Inject 
    BackendService backendService;
    
    @Query
    public Person getPerson(long id) throws InterruptedException {
        return backendService.getPerson(id);
    }
    
    
    public  List<Adress> getAdresses(@Source Person p) throws InterruptedException{ 
        return backendService.getAdressesForPerson(p.id);
    }
}

Or the Annotion could be done on the resolver as well

    @GraphQLSupplyAsAsync
    public List<Adress> getAdresses(@Source Person p) throws InterruptedException{ 
        return backendService.getAdressesForPerson(p.id);
    }
