Introduction
In this release, we have made significant improvements and introduced several key changes to enhance functionality and streamline the development process. Notable achievements include:
- Custom Metadata Store: We have removed TypeGraphQL and created our own metadata store, addressing issues related to excessive data being added to TypeGraphQL metadata. This makes Graphweaver more performant and much easier for us to extend in the future.
- Simplified API Definition: The need to create resolvers has been eliminated. Now, you only need to define entities to establish the API, simplifying the development workflow.
- Custom Mutations and Queries: You can now add custom mutations and queries directly from anywhere in your code, providing greater flexibility and control.
- Flexible Primary Key Naming: The primary key of an entity can now be named any key name, offering more versatility in entity definition.
- Apollo Federation v1 and v2 Compatibility: Graphweaver is now compliant with all required tests to support Apollo Federation (and Open Federation). Use Graphweaver to bring together all of the tools your team uses into one simple and easy to maintain subgraph!
These changes aim to improve the overall efficiency and flexibility of the system, making it easier to work with and more adaptable to various use cases.

Breaking Changes
Below are some of the breaking changes that you will have to support in your upgrade.
Resolvers
You no longer need to create your resolvers for each entity. Now you only need to create the entity and all the mutations and queries will be created for you.
In addition, as there are no longer any resolvers, you can remove the resolvers array from your Graphweaver instance arguments:
