Does apollo client support transactions?

Question

I have a nuxtjs app that uses apollo module for graphql communication with FaunaDB. I want to make multiple mutations in one transaction to FaunaDB. So I don't want to send a different request for every single mutation to FaunaDB, I want to make a single request that contains all the mutations. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes transactions are supported by GraphQL

There is a graphql guide about Multiple fields in mutations .

And a stackoverflow answer.

multiple mutations is not directly related with vue-apollo, it's a feature of Apollo client.

Answer is in GraphQL layer.

Apollo Client documantation has information about it.

Vue-Apollo-todos is a good example for mutations.

And there is a example in apollographql issues

graphql(gql`
  query UserQuery ($userId: ID!) {
    user(id: $userId) {
      # ... selection set
    }
  }

  query PostQuery($postId: ID!) {
    post(id: $postId) {
      # ... selection set
    }
  }

  mutation CreateUser ($createUserInput: CreateUserInput!) {
    createUser(data: $createUserInput) {
      # ... selection set
    }
  }

  mutation CreatePost ($createPostInput: CreatePostInput!) {
    createPost(data: $createPostInput) {
      # ... selection set
    }
  }
`, {
  props: ({ data: { loading, user, post }, createUser, createPost }) => {
    // ... do stuff with multiple operations
  }
});
