Native Operations

Introduction

Native Operations in MongoDB, encompassing both Native Queries and Native Mutations, offer powerful enhancements to database interactions through Hasura. Native Queries, configured via MongoDB's aggregation pipelines, function similarly to views but with greater expressiveness, supporting parameters like functions without requiring any Data Definition Language (DDL) permissions. These queries are highly configurable, as detailed in the MongoDB data connector's configuration reference.

Native Mutations, on the other hand, leverage the runCommand API to execute custom mutations that extend beyond the capabilities of Hasura DDN's GraphQL engine. This integration enables the execution of complex pipelines and mutations directly from the GraphQL API, fully harnessing the potential of MongoDB's advanced functionalities.

Together, these Native Operations unlock comprehensive and flexible database management within your supergraph.
