Define an interface

Define TypeA, TypeB, TypeC... Implement the MyInterface

#[derive(GQLInterface)]
enum MyInterface {
    TypeA(TypeA),
    TypeB(TypeB),
    TypeC(TypeC),
    ...
}

Fields

The type, name, and parameter fields of the interface must exactly match the type of the implementation interface, but FieldResult can be omitted.

struct TypeA {
    value: i32,
