All of the code is organized into folders. For example, chapter-02.

The code will look like the following:

type Todo {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
  completed: Boolean!
}

Examples are put in order in specific folders named in format chapter-CHAPTER_NUMBER. Then inside folders you should differentiate files:

• .graphql files containing Schema Definition Language
• .gql files containing GraphQL Query Language

Following is what you need for this book: This book is for developers interested in advancing their knowledge of GraphQL, from beginners curious about the basics to experienced developers looking to refine their schema design and security strategies.
