Learning GraphQL: Declarative Data Fetching for Modern Web Apps

Persisting The Cache

n the developer tools, you’ll find a dropdown that has the “Online” option selected. Selecting “Slow 3G” from the dropdown will simulate a slower response.

Let’s add the command for nodemon to the package.json on the scripts key

enum SortablePhotoField {
name
description
category
created
}
Query {
allPhotos(
sort: SortDirection = DESCENDING
sortBy: SortablePhotoField = created
): [Photo!]!
}

allUsers(first: Int=50 start: Int=0): [User!]!
allPhotos(first: Int=25 start: Int=0): [Photo!]!

a connection or link between two objects is called an edge.
