APIs-guru/graphql-lodash

GraphQL is great to get exactly what you want. Lodash lets you shape data the way you want. What would we get if we combined the two? Well, graphql-lodash, obviously!

It will be very interesting to see how this ties into client-side caching, so if you deem yourself a guru, contribute to this cool project!
