how to update cache after a query

[zhihengGet]

thanks !

inside a post query, i also updated /mutated user model so i am doing both Query/mutation in one graphql

I can split the query and make a mutation for the update , but it means that I need to sent two request instead of just Get Post and update user model together in one graphql query

after the Query , I would like to optimistically update the history cache after issuing a get post query, how can I do it ? :(

tried resolver but didn't work out, even though the query response is there, useQuery didn't get it, not sure if cache was mutated too.

resolver {
       Query {
           getPost(){
               cache.updateQuery(...)
               return {__typename:... ,  id:.... }

}
}
}

should I split the logic into two graphql request so that I can use updates not resolvers

also is it a good idea to do both mutation/query in one Query ? to save number of query needed ?

it's never a good idea to add side-effects and updates of any kind to queries. They're repeatable and fetch data without changing anything, so they're not meant for updates
