Deleting Items

Overview

Deleting items in kodado-js involves using GraphQL mutations to remove existing data. This guide will demonstrate how to delete an item using a GraphQL mutation with an example.

Example: Deleting a Todo Item

To delete an item, you can use the deleteItem mutation. This example shows how to delete a "Todo" item by its ID.

GraphQL Mutation

First, define the GraphQL mutation for deleting an existing item:

import { gql } from "graphql-tag";

const deleteTodoMutation = gql`
    mutation deleteTodo($id: String!) {
        deleteItem(id: $id) {
            id
            item {
                text
                done
            }
            createdAt
        }
    }
`;

const deletedTodo = await client.api.query({
    qry: deleteTodoMutation,
    variables: { id },
});

console.log("Deleted Todo Item:", deletedTodo);

Explanation

1. GraphQL Mutation: The deleteTodoMutation is defined using the gql tag from the graphql-tag library. It specifies the mutation to delete an existing item of type "Todo".

2. Example Usage:

   • The deleteTodoItem function takes the ID of the task to be deleted. It uses the client.api.query method to execute the mutation.
   • The details of the deleted item are logged to the console.

Conclusion

Deleting items in kodado-js is straightforward with the use of GraphQL mutations. This example demonstrates how to securely remove a Todo item from your application. For further information and support, please refer to our GitHub repository or contact our support team.
