What I want to avoid is writing a bunch of mutations to update one filed at a time.

You’ll want to make sure the data is sanitized, but this is where your spread operator is magic. ‘...args’

@gihrig pass the data object from the client

do you have an example I can see of this

@justinrich This is a work in progress, seems to work. Here’s snippets of what I have so far.

async updateItem(parent, args, ctx, info) {
// Exclude id from data
const { id, ...data } = args
    return ctx.db.mutation.updateItem(
      {
        where: { id },
        data
      },
      info,
    )

I just have
