Queries	Turning queries into data

Prerequisites

• A basic understanding of a GraphQL schema (Schema)

Overview

A GraphQL query is for reading data. The schema defines the types of queries which are available to the clients connecting to your server.

Material

• GraphQL query defines the shape of data that will be returned by a particular request
  • This is what an author + books query looks like coming from the client
  • make sure it has arguments
• This query is then checked again the server's schema
  • looks like this:
• "root" level queries define the main entry points
• Each of those root queries returns a type

Actually writing resolvers for your queries is found in server/queries
