Custom Mutation with Graffiti

[TLevesque]

Hi Marc,
I'm looking to setup some custom queries and mutations in addition to the default ones of the graffiti schema,
For example, I would like to create a mutation "createUser" which update 2 different collections when invoked, Graffiti looks nice, but there few documentation, do you have any advice?
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi @TLevesque,

Nowadays graffitti-mongoose doesn't have any methodology for extend the generated schema or include customs queries/mutations. But, even so, the official graffiti repo has RisingStack/graffiti-mongoose#64 open issue with how-to extend schemas. However, they are only tips. This isn't a final solution and could be difficult to maintain the code in a short term.

In my case, I switched to other ways to develop the GraphQL Server:

1. Creating the schema from the scratch. I reccomend this tutorial: https://learngraphql.com/ or learning from official docs.
2. Using an intermediate method. Like generators: https://github.com/lucasbento/create-graphql or this repo https://github.com/apollographql/graphql-syntax with a few utilities.

In any case, here is the graffiti project for more info:

Now I'm learning GraphQL, so, feel free to ask anything. 😄
