• TypeORM

  156 33,253 9.0 TypeScript

  ORM for TypeScript and JavaScript. Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Oracle, SAP Hana, WebSQL databases. Works in NodeJS, Browser, Ionic, Cordova and Electron platforms.

  

  That sounds awesome and also a huge headache. I've found its much easier to work with an ORM that is specifically designed for GraphQL, like TypeORM[1]. Otherwise you are just kind of trying to force a square peg in round hole (like Graphene[2] for Django). As for not exposing some data, just use "private" schema directives, etc.
