GraphQLFieldDefinition (graphql-java 0.0.0-2022-03-01T04-16-03-f67e3f18 API)

java.lang.Object
- graphql.schema.GraphQLFieldDefinition

All Implemented Interfaces:

GraphQLDirectiveContainer, GraphQLNamedSchemaElement, GraphQLSchemaElement
```
@PublicApi
public class GraphQLFieldDefinition
extends java.lang.Object
implements GraphQLNamedSchemaElement, GraphQLDirectiveContainer
```
Fields are the ways you get data values in graphql and a field definition represents a field, its type, the arguments it takes and the DataFetcher used to get data values for that field.
Fields can be thought of as functions in graphql, they have a name, take defined arguments and return a value.
Fields can also be deprecated, which indicates the consumers that a field wont be supported in the future.
See http://graphql.org/learn/queries/#fields for more details on the concept.

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`TraversalControl`	`accept(TraverserContext<GraphQLSchemaElement> context, GraphQLTypeVisitor visitor)`
`GraphQLSchemaElement`	`copy()` Each GraphQLSchemaElement should make a copy of itself when this is called.
`boolean`	`equals(java.lang.Object o)` No GraphQLSchemaElement implements `equals` because we need object identity to treat a GraphQLSchema as an abstract graph.
`java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.util.List<GraphQLAppliedDirective>>`	`getAllAppliedDirectivesByName()` This will return a Map of the all directives that are associated with a `GraphQLNamedSchemaElement`, including both repeatable and non-repeatable directives.
`java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.util.List<GraphQLDirective>>`	`getAllDirectivesByName()` This will return a Map of the all directives that are associated with a `GraphQLNamedSchemaElement`, including both repeatable and non repeatable directives.
`GraphQLAppliedDirective`	`getAppliedDirective(java.lang.String directiveName)` Returns a non-repeatable directive with the provided name.
`java.util.List<GraphQLAppliedDirective>`	`getAppliedDirectives()` This will return a list of all the directives that have been put on `GraphQLNamedSchemaElement` as a flat list, which may contain repeatable and non-repeatable directives.

`java.util.List<GraphQLArgument>`	`getArguments()`
`java.util.List<GraphQLSchemaElement>`	`getChildren()`

`java.lang.String`	`getDescription()`
`GraphQLDirective`	`getDirective(java.lang.String directiveName)` Returns a non-repeatable directive with the provided name.
`java.util.List<GraphQLDirective>`	`getDirectives()` This will return a list of all the directives that have been put on `GraphQLNamedSchemaElement` as a flat list, which may contain repeatable and non-repeatable directives.
`java.util.Map<java.lang.String,GraphQLDirective>`	`getDirectivesByName()` This will return a Map of the non repeatable directives that are associated with a `GraphQLNamedSchemaElement`.
`java.lang.String`	`getName()`
`GraphQLOutputType`	`getType()`
`int`	`hashCode()` No GraphQLSchemaElement implements `equals/hashCode` because we need object identity to treat a GraphQLSchema as an abstract graph.
`boolean`	`isDeprecated()`
`static GraphQLFieldDefinition.Builder`	`newFieldDefinition()`
`static GraphQLFieldDefinition.Builder`	`newFieldDefinition(GraphQLFieldDefinition existing)`
`java.lang.String`	`toString()`
`GraphQLFieldDefinition`	`transform(java.util.function.Consumer<GraphQLFieldDefinition.Builder> builderConsumer)` This helps you transform the current GraphQLFieldDefinition into another one by starting a builder with all the current values and allows you to transform it how you want.
