Quickstart

type Tweet {
  id: ID! @isUnique
  text: String!
  author: User! @relation(name: "Tweets")
}
 
type User {
  id: ID! @isUnique
  name: String!
  tweets: [Tweet!]! @relation(name: "Tweets")
}

Copy the schema above and save it as twitter.graphql. (Read more about the IDL syntax.)

# Install the CLI via npm (or yarn) 
npm install -g graphql-up
