Does anyone have a nice way to fake apollo query dataa in tests aside from creating them.. as in `val fakeQueryData = Query.Data(id = "blah" , name="steve")`
ended up with a massing file of fakes for tests and was hoping there are some alternatives.

Several solutions:
• <https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-kotlin-faker|Apollo Faker> gives you fake data by annotating your schema with directives. It's the early days but I'm curious if you have any feedback.
• <https://www.apollographql.com/docs/kotlin/testing/data-builders|Data Builders> give you a DSL to build the `Data` classes. It's the historical solution but it suffers from a few limitations (generating the source files in the test source set, custom scalar are a bit weird, etc..) that we're aiming to fix in v5
• <https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-kotlin-execution/|Apollo Kotlin Execution> gives you the building blocks to build a complete executable schema, including resolvers, etc... Ultimately, this is the most flexible one as you can fake mutations, etc..

Another solution is to enqueue JSONs in <https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-kotlin-mockserver/|MockServer>. Forgot about this one since it's usually a bit more work of capturing the JSON, etc... but it can be useful too

That's probably too many options and I wish we had a recommended way to do this albeit I'm not sure which one is the best
