Input object type

[igl]

Adds the input type definition including a defaultValue property.

input Person {
  name: String = "Hans"
  age: Int = 32
  size: Float = 1.82
  funny: Boolean = true
}

returns:

{
  type: "INPUT",
  name: "Person",
  fields: {
    name: { type: "String", defaultValue: "Hans" },
    age: { type: "Int", defaultValue: 32 },
    size: { type: "Float", defaultValue: 1.82 }
    funny: { type: "Boolean", defaultValue: true }
  }

}

Strings must use double quotes "
Floats can omit leading zeros (.5 => 0.5)
Boolean values must be lower-case

Nice! @igl: Are you using the shorthand for building a GraphQL server?

[igl]

@helfer Not yet ;) still in the learning phase of graphql. Building an app with vanilla graphql right now.

@igl You may find this interesting: graphql/graphql-js#114

Although I very much like the idea of generating the parser with PEG, I wonder if it makes sense to duplicate something that graphql-js already has...

[igl]

Using annotation over comments might be neat.

@helfer This is also more of a learning experience for me than an attempt for a production ready lib.
And isn't competition in OS always a good thing? ;)

@igl I think competition is great, but duplicating stuff doesn't make sense, unless you're doing it to learn something, which happens to be your goal.
I'm trying to build a tool that makes it as easy as possible to create GraphQL servers, so for my use case it doesn't really make sense. Facebook's parser for GraphQL will always implement the standard, and it has all the features I think I'll need in the foreseeable future, so I'm better off using that.
