I am new to using Graphql and MongoDB. I am trying to insert data from an existing javascript file where the data has been defined. I was trying to use a mutation in order to achieve this but I have no clue what I'm really doing. Any help would be nice.
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
dotenv.config();
const { ApolloServer, gql } = require('apollo-server');
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
const items = require('./itemsListData');
const typeDefs = gql`
type Query {
items:[Item!]!
}
type Item{
id:ID!,
name:String!,
aisle:String!,
bay:String!,
price:Float!,
xVal:Int!,
yVal:Int!
}
type Mutation {
createItem(name: String!, aisle: String!): Item!
}
`;
console.log(items)
const resolvers = {
Query: {
items:() => items,
},
Item:{
id: ( { _id, id }) => _id || id,
},
Mutation: {
createItem: async(_, { name }, { db }) => {
// name:String!, bays:[Bay!]!, xStartVal:Int!, xEndVal:Int!, yStartVal:Int!, yEndVal:Int!
const newItem = {
items
}
// insert Item object into database
const result = await db.collection('Items').insert(newItem);
console.log("This is the result " + result);
return result.ops[0]; // first item in array is the item we just added
}
}
};
const start = async () => {
const client = new MongoClient("mongodb+srv://admin:admin@quickkartcluster.o0bsfej.mongodb.net/test", { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
await client.connect();
const db = client.db("QuickKart");
const context = {
db,
}
const server = new ApolloServer({
typeDefs,
resolvers,
context,
introspection: true
});
// The `listen` method launches a web server.
server.listen().then(({ url }) => {
console.log(` Server ready at ${url}`);
});
}
start();here is my javascript data file
