Option to update multiple

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hey ๐
@TriPSs I saw your feature request in the original project by Doug Martin.
This is a similar situation I am running into where ideally I would send a single mutation request to update multiple records with their own values.
The same structure could be used to update a parent object along with multiple (one to many) related children too, each with their own values.
This is similar to what mutations Hasura supports.
Is this something you think nestjs-query would eventually support? I'm not familiar with what changes would be needed to support this functionality but I imagine it could be a large undertaking.
Have you read the Contributing Guidelines?
Yes
Describe the solution you'd like
Along with the normal update many mutation:
mutation {
updateManyTodoItems(
input: { filter: { id: { in: [1, 2] } }, update: { completed: true } }
) {
updatedCount
}
}
Also being able to process inputs that look like:
mutation {
updateManyTodoItems(
input: [
{ id: 1, update: { completed: true },
{ filter: { id: { in: [2, 3] } }, update: { completed: false }
]
) {
updatedCount
}
}
and
mutation {
updateOneTodoItem(
input: {
id: 1,
update: {
childTodoItems: {
input: [
{ id: 1, update: { completed: true },
{ filter: { id: { in: [2, 3] } }, update: { completed: false }
]
}
}
}
) {
updatedCount
}
}
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively the client could orchestrate these requests which isn't that bad of a problem, however allowing this tool to take on that responsibility would massively reduce the code and complexity the client would need to handle.
