Lesson 6: Create Objects

Create an Object

Below are some example mutations to create a football_club, a season and episodes and how to link them together.

This first mutation creates a football club called Leyton Orient. This mutation will return the new object's uid, the title and the slug. You'll need the uid for subsequent request to create relationships.

All of the objects we create in this step will include the availability we created in Lesson 5: Creating Availability Rules.

mutation {
  # Create Object
  createFootballClub(
    football_club: {
      club_name: "Leyton Orient", 
      slug: "leyton-orient-football-club", 
      stadium_name: "Brisbane Road",
      stadium_location: "London",
      league: "EFL League Two",
      league_position: 1,
      number_of_wins: 22,
      number_of_draws: 4,
      number_of_losses: 8
      availability: {
        link: [
          "vip-only",
          "full-release"
        ]
      }
    }
  ) {
    uid
    club_name
    slug
    stadium_name
    stadium_location
    league
    league_position
    number_of_wins
    number_of_draws
    number_of_losses
  }
}

Expected result - your UID will be unique.

{
  "data": {
    "createFootballClub": {
      "uid": "01GSD645N6HZRA8658Z1XHYGSS",
      "club_name": "Leyton Orient",
      "slug": "leyton-orient-football-club",
      "stadium_name": "Brisbane Road",
      "stadium_location": "London",
      "league": "EFL League Two",
      "league_position": 1,
      "number_of_wins": 22,
      "number_of_draws": 4,
      "number_of_losses": 8
    }
  }
}

Add a Season to your new Object

This mutation adds a season and links it to the football club.

mutation {
  # Create Season
  createSeason(
    season: {
      title: "2021-2022 Season", 
      slug: "2021-2022-season",
      relationships: {
        football_clubs: {
          link: ["< uid for your football_club >"]
        }
      },
      availability: {
        link: [
          "vip-only",
          "full-release"
        ]
      }
    }
  ) {
    uid
    title
    slug
  }
}

Expected result:

{
  "data": {
    "createSeason": {
      "uid": "01GSD6F86J8ZEM2CJPQX6XX640",
      "title": "2021-2022 Season",
      "slug": "2021-2022-season"
    }
  }
}

Add Episodes to your Season

Finally, this mutation adds two episodes to the Season. In our example our episodes are VOD football matches:

mutation {
  # Create and add an episode to a season
  create_episode_1: createEpisode(
    episode: {
      title: "Leyton Orient vs West Ham", 
      slug: "leyton-orient-vs-west-ham",
      synopsis: "Leyton Orient beat West Ham in a thrilling FA Cup Third Round Play Off",
      episode_number: 1,
      relationships: {
        seasons: {
          link: ["< uid for your season >"]
        }
      },
      availability: {
        link: [
          "vip-only",
          "full-release"
        ]
      }
    }
  ) {
    uid
    title
    slug
  }
  
  create_episode_2: createEpisode(
    episode: {
      title: "Leyton Orient vs Tottenham Hotspur", 
      slug: "leyton-orient-vs-tottenham-hotspur",
      synopsis: "Leyton Orient lose to Spurs in a heroic FA Cup Fourth Round Match",
      episode_number: 2,
      relationships: {
        seasons: {
          link: ["< uid for your season >"]
        }
      },
      availability: {
        link: [
          "vip-only",
          "full-release"
        ]
      }
    }
  ) {
    uid
    title
    slug
  }
}

Expected result:

{
  "data": {
    "create_episode_1": {
      "uid": "01GSD6HY6Q8E0G0Q02YB520TS6",
      "title": "Leyton Orient vs West Ham",
      "slug": "leyton-orient-vs-west-ham"
    },
    "create_episode_2": {
      "uid": "01GSD6HYHHZ7JXD496PKDV1Y0Y",
      "title": "Leyton Orient vs Tottenham Hotspur",
      "slug": "leyton-orient-vs-tottenham-hotspur"
    }
  }
}
