Type Schema

Description: A type schema defines the structure and relationships of types in GraphQL. This schema acts as a contract between the client and the server, specifying what data is available and how it can be queried. In GraphQL, types are fundamental as they allow developers to clearly define entities and their attributes, as well as the operations that can be performed on them. Types can be scalars, such as ‘Int’, ‘Float’, ‘String’, ‘Boolean’, and ‘ID’, or composite types, like ‘Object Types’, which group several fields. Additionally, schemas can include ‘Interfaces’ and ‘Unions’, allowing for greater flexibility and type reuse. Defining a type schema is crucial for ensuring data integrity and facilitating communication between different parts of an application. By providing a clear structure, type schemas also enhance documentation and understanding of the API, resulting in more efficient development and fewer errors.
