Creating Data with Mutations
Implement mutations in Spring Boot to add new records to your backend data store.
Intro: Adding New Data
GraphQL isn't just for fetching data. It also allows us to change it! Today, we'll learn how to add brand new records to our system using mutations.
This is a core skill for building any interactive application.
Mutation's Role in Creation
In GraphQL, any operation that modifies data on the server is called a Mutation. This includes:
- Creating new items (our focus today!)
- Updating existing items
- Deleting items
Think of queries for reading data and mutations for writing/changing data.
