Enhancement Request: Recursively Publish Multiple Schema Files in a Directory

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current behavior of the wgc CLI restricts schema publishing to a single file. However, it’s common to have multiple related schema files organized within a directory. For instance, to prevent excessively long files and to group related queries and mutations together.
In my current setup uploading each schema file one by one is impossible due to validation errors: Error: The type "MyType" was referenced in the schema, but it was never defined..

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose enhancing the CLI to support recursive schema publishing. This would allow users to specify a directory containing multiple schema files and optionally a file extension e.g .graphql or .gql. It can have a default extension.

The CLI should publish all of them as part of the same subgraph/monograph. This feature would greatly improve the usability and flexibility of the tool, especially for projects with complex schemas.

Hi @Muchogoc,

Please correct me if I am wrong, but let me check I understand the situation. You have what you consider to be a single schema, but the schema itself is split across multiple files for organizational purposes?

Consequently, schema A-1 makes reference to "MyType", which is defined in schema A-2. Something to that effect? But you'd like to upload the schemas together as a single file?

Is there a reason you cannot pre-process your sub-schemas to join them together and publish that?

Hi @Aenimus, your understanding of the situation is correct.

Pre-processing is possible,I have used it as a workaround locally to use a script and run checks/publish.
I believe it would be a convenience to directly use the wgc command especially on CI and in a team setting rather than having to use a script for it.

I have also worked on a similar problem where I added similar functionality to a CLI that published schema files to a schema registry as a single schema and willing to work on it for the wgc CLI.
