        id: ID!
        email: String!

      type Query {
        user (email: String): User
        allUsers (): [User]
      }
    `
  }
 
  static resolver () {
    return {
      user ({ email }) {
        // find user by email
      }
    }
  }
}

Role model

class Role extends Model {
  static schema () {
    return graphql`
 
      type Role {
        name: String!
        users: [User]
      }
 
      type Query {
        userRoles (id: ID!): [Role]
      }
    `
  }
 
  static resolver () {
    userRoles ({ userId }) {
      // select roles from role where role.user_id = userId
    }
  }
}
