I use IntelliJ, in our setup it gives complete checking and autocomplete. YMMV It sounds to me like you could benefit from some kind of codegen [1] to generate native language code out of graphql and checking the queries at compile/build-time instead of runtime. GraphQL playground [2] might be a lower-investment tool to help you. [1] In JS/TS GraphQL code generator is the standard: https://www.graphql-code-generator.com/ https://www.graphql-code-generator.com/ Other languages have similar tools.
