# This is the type that will be the root of our query, and the
# entry point into our schema. It gives us the ability to fetch
# objects by their IDs, as well as to fetch the undisputed hero
# of the Star Wars trilogy, R2-D2, directly.
#
# This implements the following type system shorthand:
#   type Query {
#     hero(episode: Episode): Character
#     human(id: String!): Human
#     droid(id: String!): Droid
#   }

Batching

Batching can help decrease io between server and client. The default route of batching is /batch.

Multiple schema endpoint

overblog_graphql:
    definitions:
        schema:
            foo:
                query: fooQuery
            bar:
                query: barQuery
                mutation: barMutation

foo schema endpoint can be access:

bar schema endpoint can be access:

Default schema

The schema considered as the default is the one with the name default if it exists, otherwise, it will be the first one defined.
