This RFC adds a new form of `StringValue`, the multi-line string, similar to that found in Python and Scala.
A multi-line string starts and ends with a triple-quote:
```
"""This is a triple-quoted string
and it can contain multiple lines"""
```
Multi-line strings are useful for typing literal bodies of text where new lines should be interpretted literally. In fact, the only escape sequence used is `\"""` and `\` is otherwise allowed unescaped. This is beneficial when writing documentation within strings which may reference the back-slash often:
```
"""
In a multi-line string \n and C:\\ are unescaped.
"""
```
The primary value of multi-line strings are to write long-form input directly in query text, in tools like GraphiQL, and as a prerequisite to another pending RFC to allow docstring style documentation in the Schema Definition Language.
Ref: graphql/graphql-js#926
This revert #202 (commit 9d37f4c) because trying to parse PSR-7 request
was a mistake. The whole point of PSR-7 is to allow for interoperability
and be able to use specialized libs for body parsing (amongst many other
things). Trying to parse ourselves would be opening a can of worm if/when
other content types have to be supported. It is more correct and future
safe to require that the body is parsed before being passed to GraphQL.
Because PSR-7 specification only specify that `getParsedBody()` **may**
return the parsed body for `application/json`, we cannot assume that it
is always the case. So if the value returned parsed body is an empty array,
it means we should try to parse it ourselves (`null` would mean no body at
all according to spec).
With this modification we try to used given parsed body, but fallback on
trying to parse the body if necessary. This leave the door open to custom
implementation of parsing if needed, while making it easier to use out of
the box.
specification.
The framework currently coerces query variables similar to the way it
treats output values, which means it attempts to coerce the value into
the field's corresponding data type regardless of the received value.
According to items 3f and 3g in section 6.1.2
(http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-Validating-Requests) of
Facebook's GraphQL specification query variables should be coerced
according to their type's input coercion rules laid out in section
3.1.1 (http://facebook.github.io/graphql/#sec-Scalars). If the value
can not be coerced into the correct type according the the input
coercion rules for the type a query error should be thrown. This
ensures that client provided query variables were of the correct format
and will be a valid format and type by the time they are passed into an
implementing resolver.
This patch fixes the above issue by updating the way query variables
are sanitized during the process of parsing the query. It directly
follows the rules for scalar input coercion laid out by the
specification and throws query errors when a value that cannot be
coerced to the correct type is given. Tests for isValidPHPValue will
also be updated to ensure that it is doing the correct type checks on
Values::isValidPHPValue for the given type and value provided. A new
test case will also be added to test Values::getVariableValues and make
sure it is also enforcing the scalar input coercion rules and throwing
errors for invalid values.
