    class Directive < GraphQL::Schema::Member
      # An example directive to show how you might interact with the runtime.
      #
      # This directive might be used along with a server-side feature flag system like Flipper.
      #
      # With that system, you could use this directive to exclude parts of a query
      # if the current viewer doesn't have certain flags enabled.
      # (So, this flag would be for internal clients, like your iOS app, not third-party API clients.)
      #
      # To use it, you have to implement `.enabled?`, for example:
      #
      # @example Implementing the Feature directive
      #   # app/graphql/directives/feature.rb
      #   class Directives::Feature < GraphQL::Schema::Directive::Feature
      #     def self.enabled?(flag_name, _obj, context)
      #       # Translate some GraphQL data for Ruby:
      #       flag_key = flag_name.underscore
      #       current_user = context[:viewer]
      #       # Check the feature flag however your app does it:
      #       MyFeatureFlags.enabled?(current_user, flag_key)
      #     end
      #   end
      #
      # @example Flagging a part of the query
      #   viewer {
      #     # This field only runs if `.enabled?("recommendationEngine", obj, context)`
      #     # returns true. Otherwise, it's treated as if it didn't exist.
      #     recommendations @feature(flag: "recommendationEngine") {
      #       name
      #       rating
      #     }
      #   }
