Now we finally get to the core of this course! We will start building our first query that will allow us to grab all the lunar destinations from DynamoDB.

So let's go into our schema.js file and add the necessary types to get a query running:

type ListingType {
  name: String
}

type ListingActivities {
  name: String
}

type Guide {
  Name: String
  Bio: String
  Avatar: String
}

type Listing {
     listingId: String
     coverPhoto: String
     listingName: String
     listingDescription: String
     listingType: [ListingType]
     listingLocation: String
     listingActivities: [ListingActivities]
     specialType: String
     specialAmount: Int
     rating: Int
     guide: Guide
     price: String
     numberOfDays: Int

  }

What are we doing here:

🔋We are creating three separate types (ListingType, ListingActivities & Guide) to be able to see these types in our Listing type.

🔋We are creating a Listing type that has the various attributes we need for this data type.

Next up we will set up the query type :

type Query {
    getAllListings: [Listing]
  }

🔋 We creating a getAllListings query that will return an array of the Listings.

So now we went through the process of adding editing our Schema in an SDL manner to create a query. You can also follow a code-first approach to creating a GraphQL schema.
