⁠SWAPI GraphQL Wrapper

A wrapper around SWAPI⁠ built using GraphQL converting it into this schema⁠.

Uses:

• graphql-js⁠ - a JavaScript GraphQL runtime.
• DataLoader⁠ - for coalescing and caching fetches.
• express-graphql⁠ - to provide HTTP access to GraphQL.
• GraphiQL⁠ - for easy exploration of this GraphQL server.
