module GraphQL
  # A Union is is a collection of object types which may appear in the same place.
  #
  # The members of a union are declared with `possible_types`.
  #
  # @example A union of object types
  #   MediaUnion = GraphQL::UnionType.define do
  #     name "Media"
  #     description "Media objects which you can enjoy"
  #     possible_types [AudioType, ImageType, VideoType]
  #   end
  #
  # A union itself has no fields; only its members have fields.
  # So, when you query, you must use fragment spreads to access fields.
  #
  # @example Querying for fields on union members
  #  {
  #    searchMedia(name: "Jens Lekman") {
  #      ... on Audio { name, duration }
  #      ... on Image { name, height, width }
  #      ... on Video { name, length, quality }
  #    }
  #  }
