Well done. One of the great things about graphql is that a client can tell which data is requested. This results in a server fetching only needed data. Wel... not. Most graphql server implementations don't support telling the server which columns are requested and which are not. Graphql is great, documentation wise and operational wise, but server implementations are not good enough.
