graphql-unified-mutation v1.0.1

a set of utility functions to make your graphql mutations have the same signature.

Installation

using npm

npm install graphql-unified-mutations

or yarn

yarn add graphql-unified-mutations

usage

//type-defs.js

import { type } from "graphql-unified-mutations";

const typeDefs = gql`

  ${type('SellPrice', {
      id: 'ID!',
      name: 'String!',
      value: 'Float!',
      currencyId: 'String!',
      productBatchId: 'String!',
  })}

  ${type('User', {
    email: 'String!',
    fullName: 'String!',
    password: 'String!',
    role: 'String!',
  }, true)} // true indicates that we need input types for this type

  ${type('Currency', {
    id: 'ID!',
    name: 'String!',
    multiplier: 'Float!',
    isBase: ' Boolean!',
  }, false, {
    name: 'String!',
    multiplier: 'Float!',
  })} // the third parameter is that we explictly define our required keys for the update
 
`

will yeild the following graphql schema

type SellPrice {
    id: 'ID!',
    name: 'String!',
    value: 'Float!',
    currencyId: 'String!',
    productBatchId: 'String!',
}

type User {
    id: 'ID',
    email: 'String!',
    fullName: 'String!',
    password: 'String!',
    role: 'String!',
}

input UserNew {
    email: 'String!',
    fullName: 'String!',
    password: 'String!',
    role: 'String!',
}

input UserUpdate {
    email: 'String!',
    fullName: 'String!',
    password: 'String!',
    role: 'String!',
}

type Currency {
    id: 'ID!',
    name: 'String!',
    multiplier: 'Float!',
    isBase: 'Boolean!',
}

input CurrencyNew {
    name: 'String!',
    multiplier: 'Float!',
}

input CurrencyUpdate {
    name: 'String!',
    multiplier: 'Float!',
}

Creating mutations for the type

you dont have to manually write the mutations for each type, that's cumbersome and no one wants to do it, let the package do the heavy lifting for you, here is how

having this call to type

 ${type('User', {
    email: 'String!',
    fullName: 'String!',
    password: 'String!',
    role: 'String!',
  }, true)} // t

to get the mutations for this type, you can use the crudOf function.

//type-defs.

import { crudOf } from "graphql-unified-mutations"

type Mutation {
  ${crudOf('user')}
}

the casing dose not matter since the function will CamelCase the types according to Graphql standards.

using in the front end code

to use the graphql endpoints created by this library, use the crudSchemaOf function. which will return graphql dynamic mutations that are ready to be used and called

import { crudSchemaOf } from "./graphql-unified-mutations";

const mutations = crudSchemaOf('user'); // will return the create, delete, and update mutations for this schema

an example of add mutation

const mutations = crudSchemaOf('user', `id name email role`);

client
    .mutate({
        mutation.add,
        variables: {
        data: entity,
        },
    })
    .then(({ data }) => console.log(data))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));

an example of update mutation

const mutations = crudSchemaOf('user', `id name email role`);

    return client
      .mutate({
        mutations.update,
        variables: {
          id,
          data,
        },
      })
      .then(({ data }) => console.log(data))
      .catch(err => console.log(err));

an example of delete mutation

const mutations = crudSchemaOf('user', `id name email role`);

client
    .mutate({
    mutations.delete,
    variables: {
        id,
    },
    })
    .then(({ data }) => console.log(data))
    .catch(err => console.log(err));
