Correct graphQL syntax for a list of strings

Question

This is a fragment of a JSON object I receive from an http response.

How does one code the corresponding "networks" field in the GraphQLObjectType? here is the associated (and working!) definition.

I appreciate any and all help. I am new to GraphQL, but tried to solve the question myself. The answer was elusive, as all the examples I came across had to do with lists that referenced other nodes of the graph.

The GraphQLList wrapper can be used to indicate arrays of objects (GraphQLObjectType) or scalars like GraphQLString, GraphQLInt, GraphQLBoolean, etc. That means you can just do:

networks: { type: new GraphQLList(GraphQLString) }

Note that unlike declaring a normal type or scalar, when using GraphQLList (or GraphQLNonNull) you have to call its constructor using the new keyword.
