I am working on a graphQL project which uses django and ariadne <https://ariadnegraphql.org/>. This package supports <https://ariadnegraphql.org/docs/modularization#defining-schema-in-graphql-files> loading your graphQL schema from external **.graphql *files. While developing the schema, I continually change these files and have to restart my *runserver *every time I do so, since the changes are not watched by default. This obviously gets quickly tiring since designing a GraphQL schema takes a lot of iterations.
There is a somewhat hacky fix <https://stackoverflow.com/a/43593959/11667450> to this (here's <https://github.com/IgnisDa/Gitzer/blob/main/gitzer/director/apps.py#L7> an implementation that I used in a project), but the problem with it is that it does not work at all for extensions like *django_extension's runserver *command. Additionally, it requires you to have to start an app, since it is defined in the *AppConfig, *something which might be inconvenient to some people. I propose we add a *AUTORELOADER_ADD_FILES *variable to the *settings.py *file which should be a Linux glob (eg: *AUTORELOADER_ADD_FILES = **BASE_DIR / "**/*.graphql"*). If approved, I would like to make a PR for the same.
