Introduce fluent-style type declaration

[murtukov]

I just wanted to ask, wouldn't it be reasonable to make possible to declare types in fluent style?

For example this:

Type::nonNull(Type::listOf(Type::nonNull($this->get('Human'))))

could also be written in fluent style:

$this->get('Human')->nonNull()->list()->nonNull()

I like how this follows the direction of the corresponding SDL definition:

[           Human    !          ]      !
$this->get('Human')->nonNull()->list()->nonNull()

It also:

• should be much more quick to write, autocompletion would provide the correct available methods
• provides type safety, useful with static analysis tools, e.g. you can not chain nonNull() two times

The downsides include:

• Parity with graphql-js, have they adopted a similar syntax?
• Maintenance burden, more code and larger API surface

Are you willing to provide a PR for this?

[murtukov]

@spawnia Yes, I will provide a PR, but a little later. Towards the end of December I would say.

Can't say. I've never used graphql-js
