Description

Relay Classic / Compat require file names to match fragment names to ensure Relay Compat mechanisms work correctly. However in Relay Modern this doesn't necessarily need to be true.

There have been a few issues opened in the past about this issue, so it would be great to fix this with a pull request.

Note that fragment names should still continue to be unique across a compiled app.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current file name constraint in Relay's compiler and adjust it so that file names no longer need to match fragment names for Relay Modern, while ensuring fragment names remain unique across the compiled app.
