I defined a generic mutation action that takes an :id argument and an :input argument with an embedded resource backing :input. When I test the AshGraphql mutation, it doesn’t know about the arguments. It appears that AshGraphql has generated an input type that I can’t control. [ %{ "location…

:thinking: I think your id just needs to go inside the input. What does the generated GraphQL schema for that look like?

like input: %{id: .., input: ...}

But I want the id to be outside of the input, so that it looks and behaves like an update action. Is that possible? How do I view the generated GraphQL schema?

Stepping back a bit, this is what I’m trying to accomplish: I need a graphQL mutation that can take either a session user, or a special, single-purpose signed token to authenticate the user. The mutation should take an ID, and an input of map values. One of those map values is the token. I tried to…

You could view it in playground or you could use mix absinthe.schema.sdl Your.Schema to see the full schema. Right now it does not look like we have a way for you to put those action inputs outside of the action, but it is not something that would be hard to add. We would likely call it something li…

Okay, then with identity false, and with the read_action :get_by_token_or_id, would the mutation still accept an ID argument?

It should have whatever the arguments are on the read action, so in the read action you could do something like: argument :id, :string prepare fn query, _ -> id = if is_token(query.arguments.token) do verify_token_and_get_id(query.arguments.token) else query.arguments.token…

That gets us much closer. Here are the actions now: read :get_by_token_or_id do argument :id, :string, allow_nil?: false argument :token, :string argument :input, :map prepare fn query, _ -> dbg(query) query end end update :silence_notific…

You can do it with filters on the update action, yes. update :silence_notifications do require_atomic? false argument :id, :string argument :token, :string argument :silence_until, :utc_datetime change fn changeset, context -> token = changeset.arguments.tok…

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks!
