Description: Mutation handling refers to the process of managing and processing mutation requests in GraphQL, a query language for APIs that allows developers to interact with data efficiently. Unlike queries, which are used to retrieve data, mutations are operations that modify the state of data on the server. This includes creating, updating, or deleting records in a database. Mutation handling is essential for maintaining data integrity and consistency, as each mutation can have side effects that must be managed appropriately. Mutations in GraphQL are defined in the API schema and executed through requests that specify the fields to be modified and the new values to be set. This approach allows developers to have granular control over how data is managed, facilitating the implementation of complex business logic and data validation before changes are made on the server. Additionally, mutation handling allows clients to receive customized responses that may include updated data, enhancing the user experience when interacting with the application.
