■●■ GraphDL - Graph Definition Language

GraphDL is a language for describing data models and relationships and full-stack functionality.

JavaScript code is a native part of GraphDL, and GraphDL Schema is transpiled into a JavaScript Module with full TypeScript support.

Additionally, JSON Schema, OpenAPI, GraphQL, a Website, a React Admin App, and Documentation can also be optionally generated.

✅ ToDo:
    title:       string!
    description: string
    status:      To Do | In Progress | Blocked | Done = To Do
    subtasks:    [ToDo->partOf]
    partOf:      ToDo.subtasks
    assignedTo:  User.assigned = createdBy()
    createdBy:   User.created = createdBy()
 
🧑‍💻 User:
    _sameAs:     https://schema.org/Person
    name:        string
    email:       email!
    toDos:       [ToDo->assignedTo]
    created:     [ToDo->createdBy]

The generated Javascript and Typescript code includes the base data models, as well as Validation logic, List, Search, Create, Update, & Delete logic for client and/or server side use, including APIs,

That can be deployed anywhere including Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Fly.io, AWS, Azure, GCP or with self-hosted containers
