+==== Directives
+
+The GraphQL language supports directives that "describe alternate runtime execution and
+type validation behavior in a GraphQL document". Directives are similar to annotations in
+Java but declared on types, fields, fragments and operations in a GraphQL document.
+
+GraphQL Java provides the `SchemaDirectiveWiring` contract to help applications detect
+and handle directives. For more details, see
+{graphql-java-docs}/sdl-directives/[Schema Directives] in the
+GraphQL Java documentation.
+
+In Spring GraphQL you can register a `SchemaDirectiveWiring` through a
+<<execution-graphqlsource-runtimewiring-configurer>>. The Spring Boot starter detects
+such beans, so you might have something like:
+
+[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes"]
+----
+@Configuration
+public class GraphQlConfig {
+
+    @Bean
+    public RuntimeWiringConfigurer runtimeWiringConfigurer() {
+        return builder -> builder.directiveWiring(new MySchemaDirectiveWiring());
+    }
+
+}
+----
+
+TIP: For an example of directives support check out the
+https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java-extended-validation[Extended Validation for Graphql Java]
+library.
