Support Nested GraphQL Mutations #990

Open sajeetharan opened 1 year ago

sajeetharan commented 1 year ago

Summary

This RFC outlines a proposal to implement support for nested Graphql Mutations.Nested mutations is the ability to perform mutations on a type other than the root type in GraphQL and how to define circular dependency schema files

Motivation

Most developers find it easier to think of "changes" in a sequential fashion. Databases can and do perform many update/insert/delete transactions concurrently. Any modern databases exposing any API (including GraphQL) has to be ready for concurrently arriving requests as well as nested mutations

Functional Specifications

Linking #906 as it has context on an outstanding bug that this poses

aaronpowell commented 1 year ago

https://hasura.io/docs/latest/schema/common-patterns/data-modeling/many-to-many/ is how Hasura exposes relationships (specifically many-to-many as that's the cause of #906) and could serve as inspiration for how the structures could be defined.
