Allow the schema to be displayed in IDL format

[bbakerman]

Today we have the documentation view of the schema rendered as HTML

It would be great to have a link that showed the IDL view of the schema or type

eg

 type Person {
      # The name of this person.
      name: String
      # The year were born
      birthYear: String
      eyeColor: String
      gender: String
      hairColor: String
      height: Int
      mass: Float
      skinColor: String
      homeworld: Planet
}

This would allow you to capture the schema in IDL format as well as given you a way to stare at the schema as a whole versus the in detail view of today

@bbakerman it's an interesting idea. I think a link to open a new tab, convert the schema into the IDL format(print(schema)), and show the IDL in the new tab would be a good way to, say, export the schema into IDL format from GraphiQL. Would be stoked for a PR for this.

UP +1 :). This is also great for migration to another graphql service

Looks like a good fit for a plugin in 2.0 @acao

agreed, @imolorhe lets label “potential plugin” and add it to the roadmap then!
