How do you define mutation in GraphQL?

Mutations allow you to modify server-side data, and it also returns an object based on the operation performed. It can be used to insert, update, or delete data. Dgraph automatically generates GraphQL mutations for each type that you define in your schema.

Is GraphQL faster than REST?

GraphQL queries themselves are not faster than REST queries, but because you can pick the fields you want to query, GraphQL requests will always be smaller and more efficient. This is unlike REST, where additional data is often returned, even when that data isn't vital or necessary.

What should GraphQL mutation return?

This mutation receives the UUID of the resource, calls a REST (Ruby on Rails) API and that API just returns an HTTP code of success and an empty body (204 No Content) when the deletion was successful and an HTTP error code with an error message when the deletion does not work (404 or 500, typical REST delete endpoint).

How do you pass variables in GraphiQL?

Variables should be written using the JSON format. Therefore if you add for example a comma at the end of the last attribute, the GraphiQL invalidates the object with the variables.

How do you use mutation in React?

How do you update mutations in GraphQL?

It returns the state of the objects after updating. Note Executing an empty remove or an empty set doesn't have any effect on the update mutation.

How do you pass the authorization header in GraphQL playground?

Unlike GraphiQL, GraphQL Playground allows you to send requests with HTTP headers, such as a token needed to authenticate a user or some other kind of authorization. Make sure to first switch the tab to “HTTP HEADERS,” and then add your headers as a JSON object. By the way, you can add more than one field.
