Hasura GraphQL UPSERT mutation for nested objects - graphql

Question

So I'm trying to construct a mutation for inserting/updating a record for a "Person" along with it's address, email, telephones information into multiple tables, using variables.
mutation insertPerson ($address: [adr_insert_input!]!, $emails: [emails_insert_input!]!) {
insert_info(objects: [{
f_name: "User1",
l_name: "Test"
address: {
data: $address,
on_conflict: {
constraint: person_id_pk,
update_column: [add_text_line1, zip_code]
}
},
emails: {
data: $emails,
on_conflict: {
constraint: person_id_pk,
update_column: [email_text]
}
}
}], on_conflict: {
constraints: person_pk,
update_columns: [f_name, l_name]
}) {
affected_rows
}
}
and my variables are set-up as follows...
{
"address": [{
"add_text_line1": "123 Main Street",
"zip_code": 50501
}],
"emails": [{
"email_text": "FirstLastName#email.com"
}]
}
This works as expected for me (with multiple values in emails array too), but I need to move the f_name & l_name values (whole Person object) into a variable as well. How do I achieve that?
I tried the below mutation this way, but this resulted into two separate inserts & empty values being passed...
mutation insertPerson ($person: person_insert_input!, $address: [adr_insert_input!]!){
insertData(objects: [
$person,
{
address: { data: $address }
}
]) { affected_rows }
}
This resulted to a two separate insertions... First person with empty address, then empty person with address.
How do I achieve the first mutation's result, while using Person Info as part of variables NOT hard-code it into the query itself?
Thank you!

You will need to pass the insert_info objects as the variables
mutation insertPerson ($info_objects: [insert_info_insert_input!]!) {
insert_info(objects: $info_objects, on_conflict: {
constraints: person_pk,
update_columns: [f_name, l_name]
}) {
affected_rows
}
}
And your variables will be an array of the info_objects
{info_objects: [{
f_name: "User1",
l_name: "Test"
address: {
data: [{
"add_text_line1": "123 Main Street",
"zip_code": 50501
}]
},
on_conflict: {
constraint: person_id_pk,
update_column: [add_text_line1, zip_code]
}
},
emails: {
data: [{
email_text: "FirstLastName#email.com"
}],
on_conflict: {
constraint: person_id_pk,
update_column: [email_text]
}
}
}]}
