How do I access variableValues from GraphQL mutation?

Below I have a query requestString and a mutation requestString.

Both queries are run and I'm logging both of the resolve methods.

Questions:

1. How do I access {name: 'Thomas'} the variableValues from the resolve handler for the mutation?
2. For some reason the second argument passed into the resolve hander for the mutation is require itself. Why is that?

Code:

import Promise from 'bluebird'
import axios from 'axios'
import {
  graphql,
  GraphQLSchema,
  GraphQLObjectType,
  GraphQLString
} from 'graphql'

var userType = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'User',
  fields: {
    id: { type: GraphQLString },
    name: { type: GraphQLString },
  }
});

var schema = new GraphQLSchema({
  query: new GraphQLObjectType({
    name: 'Query',
    fields: {
      user: {
        type: userType,
        args: {
          id: { type: GraphQLString }
        },
        resolve: function () {
          console.log(arguments)
          return Promise.resolve({"name": 'meow'})
        }
      }
    }
  }),
  mutation: new GraphQLObjectType({
    name: 'Mutation',
    fields: {
      createUser: {
        type: userType,
        args: {
          name: {
            name: 'name',
            type: GraphQLString
          }
        },
        resolve: () => {
          console.log(arguments)
          return Promise.resolve({"name": 'meow'})
        }
      }
    }
  })
})

var mutationRequest = `
mutation basic($name: String!) {
  createUser(name: $name) {
    name
  }
}
`

graphql(schema, mutationRequest, null, null, {name: 'Thomas'}).then(result => {

  console.log(result)

})

var queryRequest = `
query basic($id: String!) {
  user(id: $id) {
    name
  }
}
`

graphql(schema, queryRequest, null, null, {id: '1'}).then(result => {

  console.log(result)

})
