GraphQL Mutations

Mutations are used to modify data in a database. They are analogous to the INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE commands in SQL. Hasura provides a powerful and flexible GraphQL API to perform mutations.

Next steps

Currently, you can perform mutations via the GraphQL API using the following methods:

• Some data connectors support mutations out-of-the-box and — when adding commands will generate them automatically.
• If using a compatible data source — such as MongoDB — you can create a Native Query.
• You can mutate data via the TypeScript connector using the Command Query Separation (CQS) pattern. Learn more here.
