Mutation and update cache

Now let's do the integration part. Open src/components/TodoItem.vue and add the following code to define the delete mutation

src/components/TodoItem.vue

<script>
  import gql from 'graphql-tag';
  import { GET_MY_TODOS } from "./TodoPrivateList.vue";
  const TOGGLE_TODO = gql`
    mutation update_todos($id: Int!, $isCompleted: Boolean!) {
      update_todos(where: { id: { _eq: $id } }, _set: { is_completed: $isCompleted }) {
        affected_rows
      }
    }
  `;
+ const REMOVE_TODO = gql`
+   mutation delete_todos($id: Int!) {
+     delete_todos(where: { id: { _eq: $id } }) {
+       affected_rows
+     }
+   }
+ `;

We have a function defined to handle the button click to remove a todo. Let's update the function to add this.$apollo.mutate code.

methods: {
  handleTodoToggle: function (todo) {
    ...
  },
  handleTodoDelete: function(todo) {
    // delete todo from db
+   this.$apollo.mutate({
+     mutation: REMOVE_TODO,
+     variables: {
+      id: todo.id,
+     },
+     update: (store, { data: { delete_todos } }) => {
+       if (delete_todos.affected_rows) {
+         if (this.type === "private") {
+           const data = store.readQuery({
+             query: GET_MY_TODOS
+           });
+           data.todos = data.todos.filter(t => {
+             return t.id !== todo.id;
+           });
+           store.writeQuery({
+             query: GET_MY_TODOS,
+             data
+           });
+         }
+       }
+     },
+   });
  }
}

Again, we are making a mutation to delete a todo and update the cache. This pattern should be familiar enough by now.

Remove todos - mutation

Bulk delete todos - mutation
