I'm also familiar with GraphQL in Node.js. The issue I find with 
graphqld package is their selection of terminologies (+ how the 
code is written). The code is also a test so it uses all the 
features of the package and not necessarily the essentials. So it 
will take some time to figure it out...including reading the 
original source code of the package.

My current understanding is it uses vibe.d to serve some static 
data. It does some validation of schema among other things and 
since the example meant as a development guinea pig, it uses all 
the API.... spread throughout the code.

I've not given it much time to filter those out myself. Will take 
a look once more after watching his DConf video about 
it....something about all spreadsheets must die.
