    Utilities and helpers to make working with GraphQL.js based APIs simpler.

  • Now we've been talking quite a bit about relations in the database and ORMs. In fact, it would be terribly inefficient to just grab relations all the time from the database even if the user hasn't requested the relationship in the first place. So that's why I made graphql-utils, a library that's designed to make it easy to introspect the GraphQL query made, and then make conscious decisions on whether you should or shouldn't JOIN certain relations. I also have some examples on how to use it on the GitHub repo, so I urge you to check it out once you are ready to optimize the API!
