Assignment 1

We will query the server with GraphQL queries

1. Query for all films with fields title and producer
2. Query for all films with fields title, openingcrawl and releaseDate
3. Query for all films with fields title, vehicles (vehicles with at least two subfields: model and manufaturer).
4. Query for all reviews
5. Query for film with id 3
6. Give a name to the query from assignment 5
7. Change the value 3 with a variable

Assignment 2

We will fill in code to get the GraphQL API to work as it did in assignment 1.

Before we continue, please change branch

git branch del-2

Example queries

Add these queries to Playground after the project is up and running.
