GraphQL Overview
The GraphQL schema is where your GraphQL types are defined.
GraphQL types are connected to each other using fields, and they form a graph.
The
Query,MutationandSubscriptiontypes are special, since they act as entry point to the graph.The GraphQL schema acts as the data provider, and it offers a set of capabilities the consumer can use.
To get data from a GraphQL schema, you need to write a GraphQL operation (often referred to as
query) that selects the data and fields you need.
