Question: Using gqlgen as a graphql client?

[alecbz]

I.e., making a request to a GraphQL server from Go. Is this possible, or something that might be on the roadmap at some point? Does anyone do this?

As far as I can tell, beyond maybe a little bit of wrapping around an http call and json deserializer, one should be able to re-use the gqlgen generated models to fill in with the JSON response from a GraphQL client?

One pitfall might be that, unlike some other graphql client libraries, you wouldn't be able to catch the error of failing to request a field that you then attempt to access on the returned object.

Both the following generate clients and make use of parts of gqlgen:
