How to @skip fields in graphql-request?

[johannesmutter]

Hi everyone,

How do I use the directive skip to ignore a field by checking a Boolean variable?

See example below with @skip(if: $skipReleaseDate):

const query = gql`
  query getMovie($title: String!, $skipReleaseDate: Boolean!) {
    Movie(title: $title) {
      releaseDate @skip(if: $skipReleaseDate)   ##### Don’t query releaseDate via skip directive
      actors {
        name
      }
    }
  }
`

const variables = {
  title: 'Inception',
  skipReleaseDate: true
}

const data = await request(endpoint, query, variables)

(Docs by dgraph on skip & include for reference)

Is this something currently supported?

@johannesmutter It works just fine for me.

This is a GraphQL feature within he query string sent to server, nothing about this library's own code.
