Array of Objects Apollo Server and post from react

Question

So i\'m trying to figure out how to pass an array of objects from a POST request to apollo server on AWS lambda.

I\'ve checked this out but it\'s not the same proble

Answer 1

You can only use input types for input (GraphQLInputObjectType) and object types for output (GraphQLObjectType). You are using Specials as both: As output type for the field specials in ShoppingItem and as input type in mutation argument specials. To do this you need two types. The reason for this is that output types (can) have resolvers (this is actually abstracted away from apollo server in your case). You will have to create two different types:

type ShoppingItem {
    description: String
    specials: [Specials]
}

type Specials {
    description: String
    price: String
    qty: String
    saved: String
}

input SpecialsDraft {
    description: String
    price: String
    qty: String
    saved: String
}

type Mutation {
    saveNewItem(description: String!, specials: [SpecialsDraft]) : ShoppingItem
}
