Suggestion: Generate resolver for fields missing from go model

This should still work the way you describe. Model generation only happens if you don't add the model to types.json.

eg, the starwars example is still using it for the friends connection

Whats probably happening is types.json isnt being searched for by default any more, you need to add a -typemap types.json if you want to map to your own types.

@vektah No it is searching fine, we now receive an error:

unable to bind Car.new to anything, path/to/model.Car has no suitable fields or methods

If you add a New field to the Car model it fixes it.

Generating with the following:

//go:generate gorunpkg github.com/vektah/gqlgen -package schema -schema schema.graphql -typemap types.json -out generated.go

It works for custom type connections (hence the star wars example still working), but not scalar values, e.g string

that was just a warning, but I've removed it to avoid future confusion.

Scalars has an example:
