GraphQL Overview

  1. The GraphQL schema is where your GraphQL types are defined.

  2. GraphQL types are connected to each other using fields, and they form a graph.

  3. The Query, Mutation and Subscription types are special, since they act as entry point to the graph.

  4. The GraphQL schema acts as the data provider, and it offers a set of capabilities the consumer can use.

  5. 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.
