Q42: What is the difference between Schema-First and Code-First development?
- Schema-First: SDL file is written first manually. Resolvers are then authored to implement the declared schema types.
- Code-First (Resolver-First): Schema is generated programmatically using programming language constructs/decorators (e.g., Nexus, TypeGraphQL, Pothos).
Key Takeaways
- Schema-First uses manual SDL files; Code-First builds schemas programmatically from code models.
