Question: Extensibility of the lib

[theobat]

Hey, thanks a lot for this library, it's really good already.

Coming from JS land, I used a lib called join-monster which basically enables to map a graphql query (or a subset of it) to an SQL query, which I find extremely useful. The way this works is by enabling the parsed graphql query's AST to be "traversed" in the graphql query resolver to generate an sql query (by "assembling" pieces of sql text annotated in the schema).

I a not sure how to do this in haskell yet, but I don't think it could work with classic resolvers, because we need both the JSON-equivalent schema (that is the graphql schema) and its SQL counterpart.
I thought about creating functions mapping graphql types to beam (or any other sql-like lib) instances. But i'd still need to access the parsed query AST in the resolvers... If someone has any clue about this I'd be grateful ! (I'm reading the graphq-api Internals section but I'm new to haskell so, it's not so simple)

I'm not 100% sure, but think the place to start is with the result of the `validate` function. That gives you something that's a known good GraphQL query, with all of the references and so forth expanded out.
