Description: The ‘Operation Name’ in GraphQL is an optional identifier that can be assigned to a query or mutation. Its main function is to facilitate the identification of these operations in logs and during the debugging process. By using an operation name, developers can refer to specific queries more clearly, which is especially useful in environments where multiple complex operations are handled. This name can be included in the definition of the query or mutation and can be any string of text that the developer chooses. The ability to name operations allows for better organization and tracking of interactions with the API, thus improving code maintainability and the development experience. Additionally, in monitoring and analysis tools, the operation name can be used to group and analyze the performance of queries, helping to identify bottlenecks or areas for improvement in APIs.
