Visualise your graphql schema

Have you ever wondered to visualise your GraphQL schema? How it looks as a tree structure?

Explaining schema would be much easier on visual like graph. So you can easily see points where you can optimise it.

input CatReadInput {
  id: ID
}

input CatCreateInput {
  name: String
  Age: Int
}

input CatUpdateInput {
  name: String
  Age: Int
  id: ID
}

input CatRemoveInput {
  id: ID
}

type Cat {
  id: ID
  name: String
  Age: Int
}

type Query {
  listCat: [Cat]
  readCat(Cat: CatReadInput): Cat
}

type Mutation {
  createCat(Cat: CatCreateInput): Cat
  updateCat(Cat: CatUpdateInput): Cat
  removeCat(Cat: CatRemoveInput): Cat
}

schema {
  query: Query
  mutation: Mutation
}

Presenting this kind of text document wouldn't mean anything to sales or business person. However presenting visual diagram out of it helps them understand the whole data model
