@Siddhant-K-code Thank you 🙏 I'm leaving for a vacation. I'll take a look at this when I get back.

@Siddhant-K-code Development on RedwoodGraphQL is winding down. But I'm keeping the dream alive over at https://cedarjs.com 🤩 I'll still try to get this PR merged here, but I've also copied it over to the Cedar repo: cedarjs/cedar#475 I tried to keep it as-is as much as possible, and will then follow up with a PR that changes the RW references over to Cedar

I also have a Starter repo over there. Would love it if you wanted to take a look at the README and all the config files to make sure they're up-to-date with everything new with Ona 🙏

[Siddhant-K-code]

Thanks for the heads up about Cedar and for copying the PR over, @Tobbe. I'll check cedarjs/cedar#475.

Regarding the Starter repo, can you confirm which one you're referring to? Is it https://github.com/cedarjs/starter? Happy to review the README and config files to ensure they're aligned with the latest Ona features.

@Siddhant-K-code Yes, that's the one! (https://github.com/cedarjs/starter)
