EvaluateMappingTemplate

Evaluates a given template and returns the response. The mapping template can be a request or response template.

Request templates take the incoming request after a GraphQL operation is parsed and convert it into a request configuration for the selected data source operation. Response templates interpret responses from the data source and map it to the shape of the GraphQL field output type.

Mapping templates are written in the Apache Velocity Template Language (VTL).
