defer

The @defer directive may be provided for fragment spreads and inline fragments to inform the executor to delay the execution of the current fragment to indicate deprioritization of the current fragment. A query with @defer directive will cause the request to potentially return multiple responses, where non-deferred data is delivered in the initial response and data deferred is delivered in a subsequent response. @include and @skip take precedence over @defer.

directive @defer(
  label: String
  if: Boolean
) on 
  | FRAGMENT_SPREAD
  | INLINE_FRAGMENT

Arguments

defer.label ● String scalar

If this argument label has a value other than null, it will be passed on to the result of this defer directive. This label is intended to give client applications a way to identify to which fragment a deferred result belongs to.

defer.if ● Boolean scalar

Deferred when true.
