# `known-fragment-names`

✅ The `"extends": "plugin:@graphql-eslint/operations-recommended"` property in a configuration file enables this rule.

- Category: `Operations`
- Rule name: `@graphql-eslint/known-fragment-names`
- Requires GraphQL Schema: `true` [ℹ️](../../README.md#extended-linting-rules-with-graphql-schema)
- Requires GraphQL Operations: `true` [ℹ️](../../README.md#extended-linting-rules-with-siblings-operations)

A GraphQL document is only valid if all `...Fragment` fragment spreads refer to fragments defined in the same document.

> This rule is a wrapper around a `graphql-js` validation function.

## Usage Examples

### Incorrect

```graphql
# eslint @graphql-eslint/known-fragment-names: 'error'

query {
  user {
    id
    ...UserFields # fragment not defined in the document
  }
}
```

### Correct

```graphql
# eslint @graphql-eslint/known-fragment-names: 'error'

fragment UserFields on User {
  firstName
  lastName
}

query {
  user {
    id
    ...UserFields
  }
}
```

### Correct (`UserFields` fragment located in a separate file)

```graphql
# eslint @graphql-eslint/known-fragment-names: 'error'

# user.gql
query {
  user {
    id
    ...UserFields
  }
}

# user-fields.gql
fragment UserFields on User {
  id
}
```
