Additional tips

Debugger

With the command palette ⌘⇧P, you can switch the auto-attach feature to the smart mode. Then, if you start the server in a VSCode terminal, you will be able to add breakpoints to your code. This is most useful if you need to understand what's going on when the code is running.

Insomnia

Get the DDH Dojo collection and pull its latest snapshot.

You can test your GraphQL requests with Insomnia.

VSCode

Your IDE is highly customizable, take a look around in your settings ⌘, and update it. For example at Libeo, we use relative import paths; you can configure VSCode to always use the relative path when auto-importing.
