Hot tip

If you do not know GraphQL that well remember things can be nullable if defined. In the schema how GraphQL knows it's nullable is without the ! at the end here is an example:

Not nullable:

ownedBy: EthereumAddress!

Nullable:

ownedBy: EthereumAddress

It's always worth generating the TypeScript types for the schema if your application is TypeScript here is a reference to how you would do that - https://www.apollographql.com/blog/tooling/apollo-codegen/typescript-graphql-code-generator-generate-graphql-types/
