So first off I will start by saying I added an optimistic response to my mutation so it would it stop producing duplicates as referenced here and from this previous S.O. question.
So that is all working but I have a set of dependant mutations that run after the first using async await.
submitForm = async () => {
// Only submit if form is complete
if (!this.state.saveDisabled) {
try {
// Optimistic Response is necessary because of AWS AppSync
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/48349020/2111538
const createGuestData = await this.props.createGuest({
name: this.state.name,
})
let guestId = createGuestData.data.addGuest.id
for (let person of this.state.people) {
await this.props.createPerson({
variables: {
name: person.name,
guestId,
},
optimisticResponse: {
addPerson: {
id: -1, // A temporary id. The server decides the real id.
name: person.name,
guestId,
__typename: 'Person',
},
},
})
}
this.setState({
redirect: true,
})
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
alert('There was an error creating this guest')
}
} else {
Alert('Please fill out guest form completely.')
}
}
Now this works and it is using the same pattern for the mutation as per the sample project
export default compose(
graphql(CreateGuestMutation, {
name: 'createGuest',
options: {
refetchQueries: [{ query: AllGuest }],
},
props: props => ({
createGuest: guest => {
console.log(guest)
return props.createGuest({
variables: guest,
optimisticResponse: () => ({
addGuest: {
...guest,
id: uuid(),
persons: [],
__typename: 'Guest',
},
}),
})
},
}),
}),
graphql(CreatePersonMutation, {
name: 'createPerson',
}),
)(CreateGuest)
The only problem is that I can't force the state to get updated to the ID that actually gets inserted when using Async Await, so all the person entries get the place holder UUID. Note, I have also tried using id: -1
as is done with the createPerson mutation but that didn't change anything, it just used negative one for all the entires.
Is there a better way of doing this? I am doing something wrong. This all worked without the optimisticResponse but it always created two entries per mutation.
