  • ๐Ÿ“„ if the rule applies to schema documents
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ if the rule applies to operations
  • ๐Ÿš€ graphql-eslint rule
  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ graphql-js rule
  • ๐Ÿ”ง if some problems reported by the rule are automatically fixable by the --fix command lineโ€‰ option
  • ๐Ÿ’ก if some problems reported by the rule are manually fixable by editor suggestionsโ€‰
