Creating our resolvers

A resolver is a function that’s responsible for generating data for a field in your GraphQL schema. It can normally generate the data in any way you want, in that it can fetch data from a database or by using a third-party API.

To create our user resolvers, you need to create a file called /backend/src/graphql/resolvers/user.ts. Let’s create a skeleton of what our resolver should look like. Here, we need to specify the functions that are defined under Query and Mutation in our GraphQL schema. So, your resolver should look like this:

export default {
  Query: {
    getUsers: () => {},
    getUser: () => {}
  },
  Mutation: {
    createUser: () => {},
    login: () => {}
  }
}

As you can see, we return an object with two main nodes called Query and Mutation, and we map the queries and the mutations we defined in our GraphQL schema (the User.ts file). Of course, we need to make some changes to receive some parameters and return...
