Extended by:

Defined in:
lib/graphql/schema/mutation.rb

Overview

This base class accepts configuration for a mutation root field, then it can be hooked up to your mutation root object type.

If you want to customize how this class generates types, in your base class, override the various generate_* methods.

Examples:

Creating a comment

# Define the mutation:
class Mutations::CreateComment < GraphQL::Schema::Mutation
  argument :body, String, required: true
  argument :post_id, ID, required: true

  field :comment, Types::Comment, null: true
  field :errors, [String], null: false

  def resolve(body:, post_id:)
    post = Post.find(post_id)
    comment = post.comments.build(body: body, author: context[:current_user])
    if comment.save
      # Successful creation, return the created object with no errors
      {
        comment: comment,
        errors: [],
      }
    else
      # Failed save, return the errors to the client
      {
        comment: nil,
        errors: comment.errors.full_messages
      }
    end
  end
end

# Hook it up to your mutation:
class Types::Mutation < GraphQL::Schema::Object
  field :create_comment, mutation: Mutations::CreateComment
end

# Call it from GraphQL:
result = MySchema.execute <<-GRAPHQL
mutation {
  createComment(postId: "1", body: "Nice Post!") {
    errors
    comment {
      body
      author {
        login
      }
    }
  }
}

  end
end

.object_class(new_class = nil) ⇒ Class

An object class to use for deriving return types

Parameters:

  • new_class (Class, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Defaults to Object

Returns:

  • (Class)

  end
  @object_class || (superclass.respond_to?(:object_class) ? superclass.object_class : GraphQL::Schema::Object)
end

.payload_type(new_payload_type = nil) ⇒ Class Also known as: type, type_expr

Call this method to get the derived return type of the mutation, or use it as a configuration method to assign a return type instead of generating one.

Parameters:

  • new_payload_type (Class, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    If a type definition class is provided, it will be used as the return type of the mutation field

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    The object type which this mutation returns.
