How to create a GraphQL Mutation Endpoint for Magento 2.3

In my last Magento 2 tutorial, I showed how to build a basic GraphQL module with filtering.The primary purpose of GraphQL is to retrieve data (query), but every complete data exchange format needs a way to change server-based data (mutations).Therefore I want to show now how we can change data or create new pickup stores via the frontend.

Currently, the Magento 2 GraphQL Endpoint supports only access controls based on customers. This GraphQL will only allow a queryon the customer data if the customer’s token must proived in the header section.

Since I would like to show only exemplarily how such a thing could look, I did without access control!

Before we can start here, you can find the first module that we need ground for this tutorial.

How to create a GraphQL Endpoint for Magento 2.3

Github Repo

Create a new php file app/code/LarsRoettig/GraphQLStorePickup/Model/Resolver/CreatPickUpStore.php

This Class holds the logic for that endpoint is responsible for any GraphQL call that creates a new pickup store in the Database.Every Resolver Class is forced to implements Magento\Framework\GraphQl\Query\ResolverInterface to work correctly.

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace LarsRoettig\GraphQLStorePickup\Model\Resolver;

use LarsRoettig\GraphQLStorePickup\Model\CreatePickUpStore as CreatPickUpStoreService;
use Magento\Framework\GraphQl\Config\Element\Field;
use Magento\Framework\GraphQl\Exception\GraphQlInputException;
use Magento\Framework\GraphQl\Query\ResolverInterface;
use Magento\Framework\GraphQl\Schema\Type\ResolveInfo;

class CreatPickUpStore implements ResolverInterface
{
    /**
     * @var CreatPickUpStoreService
     */
    private $creatPickUpStore;

    /**
     * @param CreatPickUpStore $creatPickUpStore
     */
    public function __construct(CreatPickUpStoreService $creatPickUpStore)
    {
        $this->creatPickUpStore = $creatPickUpStore;
    }

    /**
     * @inheritDoc
     */
    public function resolve(Field $field, $context, ResolveInfo $info, array $value = null, array $args = null)
    {
        if (empty($args['input']) || !is_array($args['input'])) {
            throw new GraphQlInputException(__('"input" value should be specified'));
        }

        return ['pick_up_store' => $this->creatPickUpStore->execute($args['input'])];
    }
}

File app/code/LarsRoettig/GraphQLStorePickup/Model/CreatePickUpStore.php:

The second step is to create a service class that will convert a given array to a pickup store and saves them in the database.A service class help us to have single small bussiness logic that can be used by differnt other php services.

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

namespace LarsRoettig\GraphQLStorePickup\Model;

use LarsRoettig\GraphQLStorePickup\Api\Data\StoreInterface;
use LarsRoettig\GraphQLStorePickup\Api\Data\StoreInterfaceFactory;
use LarsRoettig\GraphQLStorePickup\Api\StoreRepositoryInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Api\DataObjectHelper;
use Magento\Framework\Exception\CouldNotSaveException;
use Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException;
use Magento\Framework\GraphQl\Exception\GraphQlInputException;

class CreatePickUpStore
{

    /**
     * @var DataObjectHelper
     */
    private $dataObjectHelper;
    /**
     * @var StoreRepositoryInterface
     */
    private $storeRepository;
    /**
     * @var StoreInterfaceFactory
     */
    private $storeFactory;

    /**
     * @param DataObjectHelper $dataObjectHelper
     * @param StoreRepositoryInterface $storeRepository
     * @param StoreInterfaceFactory $storeInterfaceFactory
     */
    public function __construct(
        DataObjectHelper $dataObjectHelper,
        StoreRepositoryInterface $storeRepository,
        StoreInterfaceFactory $storeInterfaceFactory
    ) {
        $this->dataObjectHelper = $dataObjectHelper;
        $this->storeRepository = $storeRepository;
        $this->storeFactory = $storeInterfaceFactory;
    }

    /**
     * @param array $data
     * @return StoreInterface
     * @throws GraphQlInputException
     */
    public function execute(array $data): StoreInterface
    {
        try {
            $this->vaildateData($data);
            $store = $this->saveStore($this->createStore($data));
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            throw new GraphQlInputException(__($e->getMessage()));
        }

        return $store;
    }

    /**
     * Guard function to handle bad request.
     * @param array $data
     * @throws LocalizedException
     */
    private function vaildateData(array $data)
    {
        if (!isset($data[StoreInterface::NAME])) {
            throw new LocalizedException(__('Name must be set'));
        }
    }

    /**
     * Persists the given store in the data base.
     * +
     * @param StoreInterface $store
     * @return StoreInterface
     * @throws CouldNotSaveException
     */
    private function saveStore(StoreInterface $store): StoreInterface
    {
        $this->storeRepository->save($store);

        return $store;
    }

    /**
     * Create a store dto by given data array.
     *
     * @param array $data
     * @return StoreInterface
     * @throws CouldNotSaveException
     */
    private function createStore(array $data): StoreInterface
    {
        /** @var StoreInterface $store */
        $store = $this->storeFactory->create();
        $this->dataObjectHelper->populateWithArray(
            $store,
            $data,
            StoreInterface::class
        );

        return $store;
    }
}

This need to be added to the file:

How to call your GraphQL Endpoint

Attention the Url https://your\_domain.test/graphql work only with an valid GraphQL-Request!




GrapQL Mutation

GraphQL-Mutation:

mutation {
  createPickUpStores(
    input: {
      name: "Mustation Store"
      street: "sweswq"
      street_num: 12
      postcode: "83059"
      latitude: 22.3
      longitude:22.3
    }
  )
  {
    pick_up_store {
      name
    }
  }
}
