Great post!

As per the Apollo-Client docs "Do not modify the return value of readQuery. The same object might be returned to multiple components. To update data in the cache, instead create a replacement object and pass it to writeQuery."

I attempted to use your solution for adding to a list of a users chats on creation and ran into "Error: Cannot assign to read only property 'edges' of object '#'"

Once again, great post, just thought I'd put this here for anyone running into similar issues. You must create a new object, you cannot mutate the return value of cache.readQuery anymore and apollo will throw an error.
