What Are Directives? 

• Directives are annotations used within GraphQL queries to modify their behavior, control execution, and apply conditional logic. 

Common Built-in Directives: 

• `@include(if: Boolean)`: Conditionally include a field in the response. 
• `@skip(if: Boolean)`: Conditionally skip a field in the response. 
• `@deprecated(reason: String)`: Mark a field as deprecated with a reason. 

Working with GraphQL Directives: 

Applying Directives to Fields: 

• Learn how to apply directives to specific fields within a query to control their inclusion or execution. 

Conditional Field Retrieval: 

• Use `@include` and `@skip` directives to retrieve fields based on specific conditions, enhancing query customization. 

Deprecating Fields: 

• Employ the `@deprecated` directive to mark fields as deprecated and provide guidance to clients regarding replacement fields.
