Research direction

Start by locating the local GraphQL request validation path and how a schema is used there. Trace where variable values are handled, then add validation for them when a schema is present and verify that valid and invalid values are covered.

Description

type: feature

Currently gql will locally validate the GraphQL request to see if it correspond to the GraphQL schema if it is present.

It does not validate variable values though.

It's something we could do.
