Description: A type mutation is a mutation that modifies a specific type in GraphQL. In the context of GraphQL, mutations are operations that allow modifying data on the server, as opposed to queries that only retrieve information. Type mutations are fundamental for data manipulation, as they enable developers to define how instances of a specific type in the GraphQL schema can be created, updated, or deleted. These mutations are defined in the GraphQL schema and can include arguments that specify the necessary data to perform the operation. Additionally, mutations can return a specific type, allowing clients to receive updated information after performing the operation. The structure of a type mutation typically includes a name, required arguments, and the return type, providing a clear and structured way to interact with data in a GraphQL API.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
