Dataloader for each field about dataloader HOT 2 CLOSED

The answers to this are going to vary widely and depend a lot more on your storage model than your API design. Typically dataloaders correspond to individual "types" of information in storage - that's usually a table in SQL style storage. For most apps, a type in storage corresponds to a type in GraphQL, so I would expect to see a data loader for "Post" and a data loader for "Comment" unless storage was organized in a different way.

It's common to see a collection of loaders passed as part of the "context" variable in GraphQL so they're always available and unique per request.

You can read more about these patterns on the README for this repo on "Using with GraphQL" and "Common Patterns" https://github.com/facebook/dataloader#using-with-graphql

I believe one of the great features of GraphQL is to know exactly which fields to fetch, so would be interest to have a standard way of fetching only the needed information from the database and not the whole document once the user is requesting only a few fields, i believe that is the motivation behind @shakaIsReal issue, am i right @shakaIsReal ?

i'm also trying to figure out a lean way of fetching the smallest amount of data from the database
