New to Dgraph? DQL vs. GraphQL, Endpoints, Headers, and Schema Translation

This should be part of the official docs (and a YouTube video) under the broader category of: “How to extend GraphQL to do graph database stuff that GraphQL alone can’t do” and include:

  • The relationship between GraphQL schemas and DQL schemas above
  • How to integrate/call DQL queries/mutations from within GraphQL
  • Use cases, like recursive queries (that GraphQL can’t do, but which graph dbs are built for) such as “Start with node X and return the full sequence of nodes of an unknown depth”

Another title for a document within this section: “How to extend GraphQL to enable recursive queries and mutations using Dgraph DQL”
