Tutorial

I’m new and want to learn by doing.

Task-indexed instructions for the day-to-day patterns: joining tables, custom conditions, mutations, services, pagination, errors, federation, the recommended consumer test pattern.

Reference

I know what I am looking for and want the facts.

Authoritative descriptions of every directive, every Maven plugin parameter, every runtime API entry point, and every diagnostic code Graphitron emits.

Explanation
