Use filters for bulk update

[jaulz]

Sorry, it's me again ☺️ I would like to implement a bulk update based on a query with certain filters. Is there any way how I can reuse the filters that I created for the GraphQL query and use them as input for a mutation? In the mutation I would need to instantiate the query builder with the filters from the input then.

Thanks for any help ✌️

To be honest, I've never tried it. Probably if you add @searchBy/@sortBy arg to any mutation the same as in query (maybe explicit type will be needed) the types should be created in the schema. And then you can use ResolveInfo::enhanceBuilder() inside mutation to apply these args to the builder.

Nice, thanks I will give it a try 😊 Could you also give me please a hint where I can find how the filters are applied to the query builder in your library?

Both directives just implements Nuwave\Lighthouse\Support\Contracts\ArgBuilderDirective and Nuwave\Lighthouse\Scout\ScoutBuilderDirective. The ResolveInfo::enhanceBuilder() doing all other stuff. See https://lighthouse-php.com/6/custom-directives/input-value-directives.html#argbuilderdirective

If you have access to Argument/ArgumentSet you can try something like:
