Query string generator

[woody34]

I was looking at these docs and it shows how to generate a gql string. It works well and I can generate gql strings for queries with no issues. I am using it to add type completion to my jest tests. I was not able to determine how to "effectively" generate gql strings for mutations.

How I would expect it to work

const attemptedQuery = Zeus('mutation', {
  facilityUpsertStaff: [
    { facilityId, staff },
    {
      uid: true,
      firstName: true
    }
  ]
}) // was wrapping variables in [Object null] thing

How I got it to work

    const query = Zeus('mutation', {
      facilityUpsertStaff: [
        // @ts-expect-error typing off for staff var
        { facilityId: '$facilityId', staff: '$staff' },
        {
          uid: true,
          firstName: true
        }
      ]
    }, { variables: { $params: '$facilityId: String!, $staff:  StaffUpsertDto!', values: { facilityId, staff } } })

Test and util

const facilityId = 'some-id'
 it('should create facility.staff', async () => {
    const staff = mockStaffUpsertDtoFactory()
    const query = Zeus('mutation', {
      facilityUpsertStaff: [
        // @ts-expect-error typing is off on mutations with parameters
        { facilityId: '$facilityId', staff: '$staff' },
        {
          uid: true,
          firstName: true
        }
      ]
    }, { variables: { $params: '$facilityId: String!, $staff:  StaffUpsertDto!', values: { facilityId, staff } } })
    const variables = { facilityId, staff }
    const resp = await queryWithAuth<{ facilityUpsertStaff: Staff }>({ app, query, variables })
    staffId = resp.facilityUpsertStaff.uid
    expect(resp.facilityUpsertStaff).toStrictEqual({
      uid: expect.any(String),
      firstName: staff.firstName
    })
  })

  const queryWithAuth = async <R>({ app, query, variables }: QueryWithAuth): Promise<request.Response & R> => {
    const { text } = await request(app.getHttpServer())
      .post('/graphql')
      .set('Accept', 'application/json')
      .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token}`)
      .send({ query, variables })
      .expect('Content-Type', /json/)
      .expect(HttpStatus.OK)

    const resp = JSON.parse(text)
    return resp.errors !== undefined ? resp.errors : resp.data
  }

take a look here. Maybe it is not perfect solution, but we will improve it soon
