Check if value is defined for update

[KrifaYounes]

I want to update lastName field of Author only if the field is defined on authorInput in updateAuthor method

how to do this ?

public Author updateAuthor(Long authorId, AuthorInput authorInput) {
        Author authorToUpdate = authorRepository.findOne(authorId);
        authorToUpdate.setFirstName(authorInput.getFirstName());

        // update lastName only if authorInput.getLastName is defined 
        authorToUpdate.setLastName(authorInput.getLastName());
        
        authorRepository.save(authorToUpdate);
        return authorToUpdate;
    }

type Author {
id: ID!
firstName: String!
lastName: String
books: [Book]
}

input AuthorInput {
firstName: String
lastName: String
}

type Mutation {
updateAuthor(authorId: Long!, authorInput: AuthorInput!) : Author!
}

I found the answer

 public Author updateAuthor(Long authorId, AuthorInput authorInput, DataFetchingEnvironment env ) {
        Author authorToUpdate = authorRepository.findOne(authorId);

        Map<String, Object> arguments = env.getArguments();
        Map<String, Object> authorArgs = (Map<String, Object>) 
        		arguments.get("authorInput");

        if (authorArgs.containsKey("firstName")) {
            authorToUpdate.setFirstName(authorInput.getFirstName());
        }
        
        if (authorArgs.containsKey("lastName")) {
            authorToUpdate.setLastName(authorInput.getLastName());
        }
        
        authorRepository.save(authorToUpdate);
        return authorToUpdate;
    }
