I'm learning GraphQL and am working with Apollo (client and server) I still have some confusion with the structure of GraphQL queries.
Questions:
- Is it possible to merge the lines labeled
#1
and#2
together? As the lines are so similar it almost feels redundant to have both. - If it is possible, is it advisable?
- If not, what is the benefit of having a query structured in this way?
const AddUserQuery = gql`
/*#1*/mutation addUser($firstName: String!, $lastName: String!, $email: String!) {
/*#2*/addUser(firstName: $firstName, lastName: $lastName, email: $email) {
id,
firstName,
lastName,
email
}
}`;
...
const [addUser, {data}] = useMutation(AddUserQuery);
Thanks in advance,
