GraphQL: Subscription not firing when mutation run

问题

So, I'm testing subscriptions on Graphcool and would appreciate some clarification on how exactly they work.

I have a one to many relationship from Posts on Comments:

Schema

type Posts {
  caption: String!
  comments: [Comments!]! @relation(name: "PostsOnComments")
  createdAt: DateTime!
  displaysrc: String!
  id: ID!
  likes: Int
  updatedAt: DateTime!
}

type Comments {
  createdAt: DateTime!
  id: ID!
  posts: Posts @relation(name: "PostsOnComments")
  text: String!
  updatedAt: DateTime!
  user: String!
}

The subscription I run in Graphcool is as follows:

subscription CreatedDeletedComments {
	Comments(
    filter: {
      mutation_in: [CREATED, DELETED]
    }
  ) {
    mutation
    node {
      id
      user
      text
    }
  }
}

If I run the following in my React app, a created notification is fired:

    return this.props.client.mutate({
      mutation: gql`
        mutation createComment ($id: ID, $textVal: String!, $userVal: String!) {
          createComments (postsId: $id, text: $textVal, user: $userVal){
            id
            text
            user
          }
        }
      `,
      variables: {
        "id": postID,
        "textVal": textVal,
        "userVal": userVal
       },
      // forceFetch: true,
    })

But if I run the following, no deleted notification is fired:

    return this.props.client.mutate({
      mutation: gql`
        mutation removeComment ($id: ID!, $cid: ID!) {
          removeFromPostsOnComments (postsPostsId: $id, commentsCommentsId: $cid){
            postsPosts {
              id
              displaysrc
              likes
              comments {
                id
                text
                user
              }
            }
          }
        }
      `,
      variables: {
        "id": postID,
        "cid": commentID
       },
      // forceFetch: true,
    })

What am I overlooking here?

回答1:

With the subscription

subscription CreatedDeletedComments {
    Comments(
    filter: {
      mutation_in: [CREATED, DELETED]
    }
  ) {
    mutation
    node {
      id
      user
      text
    }
  }
}

you are subscribing to comment nodes being created or deleted. However, with the mutation removeFromPostsOnComments, you are not deleting any comment nodes. Instead, you are only deleting the connection between a post and a comment.

You can adjust your mutation request to delete the comment entirely instead of disconnecting it from the post:

return this.props.client.mutate({
  mutation: gql`
    mutation removeComment ($cid: ID!) {
      deleteComment(id: $cid) {
        id
      }
    }
  `,
  variables: {
    "cid": commentID
   },
  // forceFetch: true,
})

If you don't want to delete the comment entirely but still want to hide it in your app, you could have a boolean field deleted that acts as a soft deletion marker.

Then you could subscribe to UPDATED comments instead of DELETED comments and check if the field deleted was updated. Refer to the docs for more information on how to do that with updatedFields.

Subscriptions for relations is also already part of our roadmap.
