Allow es-module-like graphql-import syntax (import * from "...")

[matuscongrady]

Hello,

I'm using webpack-graphql-loader together with graphql-codegen. These tools are using different graphql-import syntax, which means they can't be used together.

I think webpack-graphql-loader uses the non-standard
import "./filenamegraphql"
vs the standard (maybe not "standard", but definitely more common) syntax
import * from "./filenamegraphql"

Could you please add support for the ESM-like syntax? Or consider using ESM-like syntax by default (this would result in a breaking change).

Thank you!

any news on this?

import { theQuery } from './queries.graphql'

is norm, it keeps things modular and small.

thanks for the issue! 👍

forgive me if I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for, but does this undocumented option meet your needs here?

If so, I'd be interested in adding documentation around it 😄

I am not sure what that was :D, could you explain please

import "./filenamegraphql" is standard, it's an import with side-effects. source: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import

import * from "./filenamegraphql" is not standard, you're missing a name identifier.
