Hi, how can I update an optional property in typescript only if it is passed? I have a mutation with three optional connect ids, would like to include only those non empty in my update mutation. What is the recommended approach here?

return ctx.db.mutation.updateBook(
      {
        where: { id },
        data: {
        author: {
          connect: {
            id: authorId
          }
        }
        cover: {
          connect: {
            id: coverId
          }
        }
      }
      }, info)

Wherein

authorId

and

coverId

could optionally be empty. If I simple pass the empty parameters i get the

You provided an invalid argument for the where selector

error message.

@Moritz what happens if you pass in null for either

authorId

or

coverId

?

If I simple pass the empty parameters i get the

You provided an invalid argument for the where selector

error message.

Yeah null should do or for brevity, just check of they are null and use different update calls

sounds like the error is on

where

. Do you have a valid ID?

It references the

where

from the connect...

Error: You provided an invalid argument for the where selector on Author.

My query has the author input:

"author": {
            "connect": {}
          }

@Moritz yeah it does

Well if I pass undefined, I get the mutation

"author": {
           "connect": {}
         }

and the above error. This is when I have an optional mutation param

author

that is not passed in the mutation. This is not the behavior I was expecting...

Yeah

Mh interesting for me it gives me an error... Ill play around a little bit to see where things are going wrong... Do you have a typescript code sample where your taking in an optional param?

Yeah I do have typescript advance boilerplate

Got it to work. The problem was that I was passing

author: {
         connect: {
           id: authorId
         }
       }
       cover: {
         connect: {
           id: coverId
         }
       }

instead of

author: {
connect:  authorId
}
cover: {
connect: coverId
}

Ok great you go it fixed
