Dgraph GraphQL Tour

Introduction

You can load data into a Dgraph database with GraphQL mutations.

To load the small dataset that we have provided for your use in the upcoming lessons, run the mutations that we have provided by clicking Run.

For the consistency of mutations and queries in this tutorial we use an xid field to identify nodes. We could have not used the xid field and relied solely upon the id field with the scalar type ID, but assigned ids will vary across instances.

mutation {
  people: addPerson(input: [
    { xid: "alice" name: "Alice" age: 39 }
    { xid: "bob" name: "Bob" age: 35 }
    { xid: "charlie" name: "Charlie" age: 77 }
    { xid: "dave" name: "Dave" age: 35 }
    { xid: "eve" name: "Eve" }
    { xid: "frank" name: "Frank" age: 24 }
    { xid: "grace" name: "Grace" }
    { xid: "heidi" name: "Heidi" age: 19 }
  ]) { numUids }
  friend1: updatePerson(input: {
    filter: { xid: { eq: "alice" } }
    set: { friends: [
      { xid: "bob" }
      { xid: "eve" }
      { xid: "frank" }
      { xid: "heidi" }
      { xid: "dave" }
    ] }
  }) { numUids }
  friend2: updatePerson(input: {
    filter: { xid: { eq: "bob" } }
    set: { friends: [
      { xid: "frank" }
      { xid: "dave" }
    ] }
  }) { numUids }
  friend3: updatePerson(input: {
    filter: { xid: { eq: "frank" } }
    set: { friends: [
      { xid: "heidi" }
      { xid: "grace" }
    ] }
  }) { numUids }
  animals: addAnimal(input: [
    { xid: "rammy" name: "Rammy the sheep" owner: { xid: "alice" } }
    { xid: "goldie" name: "Goldie" owner: { xid: "frank" } }
    { xid: "perro" name: "Perro" owner: { xid: "heidi" } }
  ]) { numUids }
}
