Hello, I used to do like the ember tutorial did: have data generated in a route file. Now I have to use adapters and serialisers but I have to make requests to a GraphQL backend. I don’t understand how it works. Can someone explain to me how to use adapters and serialisers with GraphQL, express and Axios?

For that I would probably not use ember-data. Instead, check out [ember-apollo-client](https://github.com/ember-graphql/ember-apollo-client).
