External/Global fragment sources

[jasonkuhrt]

When working with GraphQL Relay they have a system where all components in the app using createContainerFragmen generate graphql fragments for use in a so-called QueryRenderer.

But reference to these fragments is global. See example here:

https://relay.dev/docs/en/quick-start-guide

        query={graphql`
          query ViewerQuery {
            viewer {
              id
              ...TodoList_userTodoData   # <-- global frament here...
            }
          }
        `}
 

How can this be supported?

Also note @acao recently blogged about new support for this in the GraphQL VSCode extension. Could be inspiration.

Relay has it's own naming convention about importing fragments. https://relay.dev/docs/en/quick-start-guide#using-fragments

As a convention, we name the fragment as '_'

I'm wondering whether I should add Relay specific features.

That would be pretty amazing :)
