Create todos - mutation

In this part of the tutorial, you will learn how to create new todos by using GraphQL Mutations.

Let's define a graphql query to do a mutation into todos.

Copy
  mutation ($text: String!, $isPublic: Boolean){
    insert_todos (
      objects: [{
        title: $text,
        is_public: $isPublic
      }]
    ){
      returning {
        id
        title
        is_completed
        created_at
        is_public
        user {
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }

You will also need to pass in the values for the variables.

Try this mutation in GraphiQL against the application database to see what the response looks like.

Let's now integrate this graphql mutation into our react app.
