I have a very basic graphql mutation in the frontend that I send to my backend. I am using this code on the by graphql-request as a guide.
With primitives it works:
const mutation = gql`
mutation EditArticle($id: ID!, $title: String) {
editArticle(id: $id, title: $title) {
id
}
}
`
Now I'd like to also be able to mutate some meta data about the article, stored in a meta object inside the article:
...,
title: "Hello World",
meta: {
author: "John",
age: 32,
...
}
So my question is: How do I pass over non-primitive object types as arguments to mutations when making the request from the frontend, using graphql-request?
I tried something like this already:
const Meta = new GraphQLObjectType({
name: "Meta",
fields: () => ({
id: { type: GraphQLID },
name: { type: GraphQLString },
age ....
}),
})
const mutation = gql`
mutation EditArticle($id: ID!, $title: String, $meta: Meta) { //??? I don't seem to get what goes here?
editArticle(id: $id, title: $title, meta: $meta) {
id
}
}
`
I also tried it with GraphQLObjectType, but I think I am going wrong here (since this is the frontend).
PS: I looked at this answer, but I didn't understand / believe the solution there might be incomplete.
