Just recording my amazement here. Suppose you have a GraphQL server. How do you ask it what’s the query schema?<\/p>\n
You would expect something like calling https:\/\/myserver\/graphql\/schema<\/a>? Nah, that would be too REST’y.<\/p>\n So, maybe it’s sending something like Actually, GraphQL can’t really handle recursive, the best you can do is to ask for types N levels down. The actual schema query is below, it goes 8 levels deep when querying for types.
