ART

A simple GraphQL server for managing artists and artworks. An artist has a name and a set of artworks, each artwork has a title. Artwork can only belong to a single artist.

Not invented here

This repo was inspired by the great Kat Zien speech (GopherCon 2018).

GraphQl mutations are based on the Anemic Mutations, allowing users to update any field independently without optional fields

Examples:

Adding:

mutation {
  addArtwork(title: "44", artistID: 1) {
    id
    title
    artist {
      name
    }
  }
}
mutation {
  addArtist(name: "6655") {
    name
  }
}

Updating:

mutation {
  updateArtist(id: 1, actions: { setName: { name: "newname" } }) {
    name
  }
}
mutation {
  updateArtwork(
    id: 1
    actions: { setTitle: { title: "newtitle" }, setArtist: { artistID: 5 } }
  ) {
    id
    title
    artist {
      name
      id
    }
  }
}

Deleting:

mutation {
  deleteArtwork(id: 1)
}
mutation {
  deleteArtist(id: 2)
}
