SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enforces a schema-first approach to GraphQL API design, ensuring schemas define contract-first development and reducing brittle resolvers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema-First Development: Define GraphQL SDL files before implementing resolvers to guarantee typed APIs.
  • Performance & Reliability: Integrate DataLoader to prevent N+1 queries and apply query depth limiting and complexity analysis.
  • Tooling & Codegen: Use GraphQL Code Generator for TypeScript and gqlgen for Go to keep types in sync with the schema across services.
  • Use Case: A team migrating from ad-hoc resolvers to a typed schema with automatic type generation and batch loading.

Quick Start

  1. Define your GraphQL SDL files prior to coding resolvers.
  2. Set up tooling: GraphQL Code Generator (TS) via codegen.ts and run pnpm codegen; for Go projects install gqlgen and run the codegen command.
  3. Integrate DataLoader in resolvers to batch requests and prevent N+1 queries.

FAQPage Schema
What is schema-first GraphQL design and why use it?▼

Schema-first GraphQL design defines GraphQL SDL files before implementing resolvers to guarantee typed APIs. This approach ensures contract-first development, reducing brittle resolvers and keeping types synchronized across services.

How do I prevent N+1 queries in GraphQL resolvers?▼

To prevent N+1 queries in GraphQL, integrate DataLoader in your resolvers to batch requests. This batches database or API calls, significantly improving performance and reliability for nested data fetching.

How do I set up GraphQL Code Generator for TypeScript?▼

Set up GraphQL Code Generator for TypeScript by configuring a codegen.ts file and running pnpm codegen. This automates type generation, keeping your TypeScript types in sync with your GraphQL schema.

Does gqlgen support schema-first GraphQL in Go?▼

Yes, gqlgen supports schema-first GraphQL in Go by generating typed code from your SDL files. Running the gqlgen codegen command keeps Go types synchronized with your schema-first workflow.

What is the best way to secure GraphQL APIs against malicious queries?▼

The best way to secure GraphQL APIs is applying query depth limiting and complexity analysis. These standard schema-first practices prevent deeply nested or overly expensive queries from overloading your service.
