I have been trying to get to grips with DataLoaders and coming across your repo has really helped. I was a bit tripped up by how you actually use the data loaders though and thought I would ask so I can learn from what you have done.

In your base model class you have

import SWAPIConnector from '../connectors/swapi'

export default class BaseModel {
  protected connector: SWAPIConnector

  constructor(connector) {
    this.connector = connector
  }

  public getConnections(urls: Array<string>) {
    return this.connector.loader.loadMany(urls)
  }
  public getConnection(url: string) {
    return this.connector.loader.load(url)
  }
}

Are connections just a layer of abstraction you introduced so you don't have to expose the actual loader to your resolvers?

I am getting a little confused with the graphql swapi api which uses connections for pagination (from my understanding). Is there any parallel between the two?
