Add ability to append elements to an array

[pierre-moire]

Hi,

Currently when we want to edit an array by adding an element we need to create a mutation with the full list of existing elements plus the new one, am I correct?

If yes, the payload can be quite big and 2 concurrent users will overlap each other. Is there a way to do it differently and just provide the new element in a mutation?

Correct - the current mutation capabilities are not as flexible and efficient and we have plans to improve things there.

Any news on this? This is a major performance issue when inserting data in big lists

Hey, just a question , have you done the above mentioned method with Entities instead of scalar types. Example -> ConversationEntity consists a list of MessageEntities. To add a new messageentity in conversationEntity i am mutating a new message entity and in the backend a listner attached to messageentities is attaching the message to the conversationEntity.

Can i mutate directly to conversationEntity so there is no need for a listner?

Regards.
