I have definitely gone down the higher-level abstraction route and am moderately pleased with the results thus far.

My question of the day today is: has anyone used a pattern they liked for providing an answer to the question: could this user perform this mutation? E.g. for driving the decision in a UI to even render the form or widget to take an action?

Oh I like the question. You could certainly expose a meta query for this!

That’s kind of where I think I’m going; a :could query that takes as arguments the name of and the input to a mutation

Say, I'm trying to rapidly mock up some data in lacinia for a deeply-nested structure. Is there a way to get it to ignore my previously-declared resolvers for a certain subset or the tree? Like I just want to return a literal map {:foo {:bar "baz"}} but have lacinia ignore my previously-declared resolver for the :bar field
