Tools
GraphQL Query Share is an open source tool created by Luke Martin. The tool is useful for extracting a GraphQL query from a cURL request. Given a network request that is used to make a GraphQL query, developers can easily parse just the GraphQL document which can be helpful for situations where users' requests need to be debugged.
OpticQL is a new tool for developing a performance centric GraphQL schema. From the OpticQL app, users can execute queries and mutations against their schema and view the response time by individual/aggregate resolver in chart form, and see the fields targeted in a graph-node visualization. Check out OpticQL and download the app to learn more.
