in which folder should i put my graphql queries and mutations in react
In a React project, GraphQL queries and mutations can be placed in a separate folder called queries or mutations. It's a common convention to organize your project structure in a way that makes it easy to locate your GraphQL code. By placing your queries and mutations in separate folders, it helps to keep your project organized and maintainable.
Here's an example of how you can structure your folders in a React project:
code Copy code
/src
/components
- Component1.jsx
- Component2.jsx
/queries
- query1.graphql
- query2.graphql
/mutations
- mutation1.graphql
- mutation2.graphql
/App.js
/index.js
In this example, the queries folder contains GraphQL query files (query1.graphql, query2.graphql), and the mutations folder contains GraphQL mutation files (mutation1.graphql, mutation2.graphql). You can import these GraphQL files in your components to use them.
Remember to install the required packages for your GraphQL client, such as Apollo Client or Relay, and configure them in your React app to start using GraphQL queries and mutations.
π©βπ» can you give me an example of a mutation in the mutations folder
Certainly! Here's an example of a mutation that could be placed in the mutations folder in a React project:
Filename: updateUser.graphql (a hypothetical mutation to update a user's information)
graphql Copy code
mutation UpdateUser($id: ID!, $name: String!, $email: String!) {
updateUser(id: $id, name: $name, email: $email) {
id
name
email
}
}
In this example, the mutation is named UpdateUser. It takes three parameters: id, name, and email. The mutation will return the id, name, and email of the updated user.
You can customize this mutation to match your specific use case. For example, you might have different parameters or return different data depending on your GraphQL schema design.
Remember that this is just an example, and the actual content or structure of your mutation will depend on your specific needs and GraphQL schema.
π©βπ» how is that mutation exported
To use the mutation defined in the updateUser.graphql file, you would typically export it as a string or a GraphQL executable object, depending on the library or tool you are using.
Here's an example of how you can export the mutation using the JavaScript language:
Filename: updateUser.graphql
graphql Copy code
// This is the content of the updateUser.graphql file
mutation UpdateUser($id: ID!, $name: String!, $email: String!) {
updateUser(id: $id, name: $name, email: $email) {
id
name
email
}
}
Filename: mutations.js (a file that exports the mutation)
javascript Copy code
import { gql } from '@apollo/client';
export const UPDATE_USER_MUTATION = gql`
// Import the content of the updateUser.graphql file here
// and assign it to the UPDATE_USER_MUTATION constant
mutation UpdateUser($id: ID!, $name: String!, $email: String!) {
updateUser(id: $id, name: $name, email: $email) {
id
name
email
}
}
`;
In this example, the UPDATE_USER_MUTATION constant is exported with the help of the gql function from the @apollo/client library. It wraps the content of the updateUser.graphql file and can be used directly in your code to execute the mutation.
Please note that the actual export may differ depending on the library or tool you are using for GraphQL in your React project. Make sure to consult the documentation of your specific GraphQL client or tool for the correct approach.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. π€―
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here π
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! π Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! ππͺ
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! π
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! π
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. π©βπ»π€π»
