12/03/2018, 2:22 PMSo I am using Prisma with GraphQL. I have a resolvers folder with a mutation file and a query file within it. I want to delete an item. I've managed to get creating data to work, just unsure of how to remove it.

12/03/2018, 2:28 PMthe first image grasps what prisma does. It takes your Data Model and converts it into pre-defined CRUD operations for Queries, Mutations and Subscriptions.
