Summary

Implement schema coordinates as defined in the GraphQL specification (RFC #794). Schema coordinates provide a standardized, human-readable format for referencing elements within a GraphQL schema.

Changes

  • Add Absinthe.Schema.Coordinate module with parsing, generation, and resolution:

    • Type coordinates: User
    • Field coordinates: User.email
    • Argument coordinates: Query.user(id:)
    • Directive coordinates: @deprecated
    • Directive argument coordinates: @deprecated(reason:)
    • Enum value coordinates: Status.ACTIVE
    • Input field coordinates: CreateUserInput.name
  • Add coordinate introspection support to all introspection types:

    • __Type.coordinate (returns null for wrapped types)
    • __Field.coordinate
    • __InputValue.coordinate (for args and input fields)
    • __EnumValue.coordinate
    • __Directive.coordinate
  • Add helper functions to Phase.Error for attaching schema coordinates to errors

Test plan

  • Added comprehensive coordinate tests
  • Added coordinate introspection tests
  • Added error coordinate helper tests
  • Code compiles successfully

CHANGELOG.md Outdated
* **spec:** Add Schema Coordinates support (RFC #794) ([#1407](https://github.com/absinthe-graphql/absinthe/pull/1407))
- `Absinthe.Schema.Coordinate` module for parsing, generation, and resolution
- Support all coordinate types: types, fields, arguments, enum values, directives
- Introspection: `coordinate` field on `__Type`, `__Field`, `__InputValue`, `__EnumValue`, `__Directive`

This is invalid. There's no addition of a coordinate field in the introspection schema, either for the Sept2025 spec, or the Working Draft.

Good call — the CHANGELOG entry was misleading. It's been removed from this PR. To clarify: this PR does not modify the introspection schema at all. It only adds Absinthe.Schema.Coordinate as a utility module for generating/parsing/resolving schema coordinates per the spec RFC. No introspection types are added or changed.

CHANGELOG.md Outdated
- Introspection: `coordinate` field on `__Type`, `__Field`, `__InputValue`, `__EnumValue`, `__Directive`
- Error integration helpers for better error messages
- Per GraphQL September 2025 specification

Understood, the CHANGELOG has been removed from this PR. Will leave it to release-please going forward.

Implement schema coordinates as defined in the GraphQL specification.
Schema coordinates provide a standardized, human-readable format for
referencing elements within a GraphQL schema.

This implementation provides:
- Coordinate generation for all schema element types
- Coordinate parsing with validation
- Coordinate resolution against a schema
- Error helper utilities for including coordinates in messages

Note: This does NOT modify the introspection schema. Schema coordinates
are a string format utility, not an introspection extension.

Coordinate formats:
- Type: "User"
- Field: "User.email"
- Argument: "Query.user(id:)"
- Enum Value: "Status.ACTIVE"
- Directive: "@deprecated"
- Directive Argument: "@deprecated(reason:)"

- Move :directive atom clauses before generic clauses in coordinate_for/2
  and coordinate_for/3 to prevent shadowing by pattern match order
- Escape string interpolation in @moduledoc to prevent compile-time eval
- Fix coordinate resolution tests to use "RootQueryType" (Absinthe's
  default query type name) instead of "Query"
