Remove deprecated traits, classes, methods, directives, various options and cruft

[spawnia]

This is a large cleanup PR that removes behaviour that was kept in Lighthouse for compatibility reasons.

Now that we are nearing a v3, we can clean up our code and lay a more solid foundation for the continued development of Lighthouse. The changes made have a number of benefits:

• Code Coverage goes up
• There

I will outline the changes in the description below. Some of the changes do only affect internals, others are cosmetic in nature - only a few will actually affect users.

Remove the user mutations from the default schema

They were not working properly and thus are more likely to cause confusion then to help.

Non-breaking, as the default schema is just a starting point.

Remove introspection queries from assets

They were not used in any way and are very easy to get outdated. Having them in this repo is not the right place.

Non-breaking as they are just random text-files that were not actively used for anything.

Remove deprecated methods

Removed methods that were either renamed, moved somewhere else or made obsolete by utilizing proper Laravel DI.

All of those have been marked as deprecated for quite a few releases. Alternatives have been suggested in the @deprecated PHPDoc. Mostly internals are affected.

Limit the @field directive to using the resolver argument

The old style of using seperate class and method arguments is now no longer supported.
The docs are using the resolver argument exclusively, so few users should be affected.

It is simple to migrate:

type Query {
  foo: Foo @field(class: "MyFoo" method: "bar")
}

turns into this:

type Query {
  foo: Foo @field(resolver: "MyFoo@bar")
}

You just have to search-and-replace in most cases:

• @field(class: -> @field(resolver:
• " method: " -> @

Remove the @security directive

Was removed from the docs a while ago in favour of defining docs via the config.

Remove the resolver argument from @interface and @union

It has been renamed to resolveType which makes it more clear at what the function is supposed to do and leaves less room for confusion. Again, a simple search-and-replace should suffice for any users that still have the old syntax:

• @interface(resolver: -> @interface(resolveType:
• @union(resolver: -> @union(resolveType:

Remove the majority of Traits

They have all been marked deprecated for a while and a lot of them have even been in a non-functional state. Their usage has been for internal purposes, alternatives were mentioned in the @deprecated PHPDoc.
