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 mutation to perform insert into todos.

Copy
mutation ($todo: String!, $isPublic: Boolean!) {
  insert_todos(objects: {title: $todo, is_public: $isPublic}) {
    affected_rows
    returning {
      id
      title
      created_at
      is_completed
    }
  }
}

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.
