    },
    "ProductB": {
      "title": "Rustic Plastic Soap",
      "price": 682
    }
  }
}

Create a product

You can create a new product by sending an object like a parameter to the addProduct mutation.

Mutation:

mutation {
  addProduct(
    data: {
      title: "New Product"
      price: 10
      description: "A description"
      categoryId: 1
      images: ["https://placeimg.com/640/480/any"]
    }
  ) {
    title
    price
    images
    category {
      id
      name
      image
    }
  }
}

Response:

{
  "title": "New Product",
  "price": 10,
  "description": "A description",

    "image": "https://api.lorem.space/image/fashion?w=640&h=480&r=4278"
  },
  "id": 210
}

Note that the categoryId should be an ID that exists in categories and the images are an array with URLs.

Mutation:

mutation {
  updateProduct(id: "1", changes: { title: "udpate" }) {

        "https://api.lorem.space/image/furniture?w=640&h=480&r=8528"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Mutation:

mutation {
  deleteProduct(id: 1)
}

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "deleteProduct": true
  }
}

Pagination

APIs that use offset-based paging use the offset and limit query parameters to paginate through items in a collection.

Offset-based pagination is often used where the list of items is of a fixed and predetermined length.

To fetch the first page of entries in a collection, the API needs to be called with the offset set to 0 and the limit the products that you want in the response.

Query:

query {
  products(limit: 2, offset: 0) {
    title
    price
  }
}

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "products": [
      {
        "title": "udpate",
        "price": 800
      },
      {
        "title": "Rustic Plastic Soap",
        "price": 682
      }
    ]
  }
}

To fetch the next page of entries, the API needs to be called with an offset parameter that equals the sum of the previous offset value and limit returned to the previous result,

To get the next page of entries, use an offset parameter equal to the sum of the previous offset value and the limit returned to the previous result, previous_offset + previous_limit.

Note that the offset should be increased by the previous limit and not by the size of the entries in the response array, as this may be less than the limit. Generally, we advise using the value of the limit in the response object to increase the offset value.

For example, for a pagination with 10 items per page, it looks like this:

QueryDescription
products(limit: 10, offset: 0)Return the first 10 products.
products(limit: 10, offset: 10)Return products from 10 to 20
products(limit: 10, offset: 20)Return products from 20 to 30

Or for a pagination with 20 items per page, it looks like this:

QueryDescription
products(limit: 20, offset: 0)Return the first 20 products.
products(limit: 20, offset: 20)Return products from 20 to 40
products(limit: 20, offset: 40)Return products from 40 to 60
