init

The init mutation initializes the underlying Rust data structures in your GraphQL database. This mutation must be run before other queries or mutations can be executed for an object type. Sudograph will automatically run all init mutations for all of your object types in the graphql canister's init and post_upgrade functions, unless you override them.

Per object type defined in your GraphQL schema, Sudograph generates one init field on the Mutation object type. We'll focus in on what happens with one object type defined. Imagine your schema looks like this:

type User {
    id: ID!
}

Sudograph will generate the following (we're focusing on just one part of the generated schema):

type Mutation {
	initUser: Boolean!
}
