Practical GraphQL - Become a GraphQL Ninja - Registering a user via GraphQL

The video tutorial covers defining a user type in GraphQL, adding a register mutation, and implementing resolver functionality to handle user registration. It explains handling promises with async functions and tests the registration process, ensuring unique usernames and hashed passwords. The tutorial concludes with a preview of upcoming lessons on login and authentication.

What are the required parameters for the 'register' mutation?

• With async/await

• By ignoring it

• By returning it directly

• Using a callback function

• Log the error and return false

• A validation error occurs

• A new user is created

• The request is ignored

How can you verify that a user's password is stored securely?

• By checking the plain text password in the database

• By ensuring the password is hashed

• By storing the password in a separate file
