How to update part of my amplify graphql model?
I am new with Aws Amplify and GraphQL and I am trying to find the best way to handle the following:
I want to be able to edit my FAQ in the frontend. The frontend gets the data from the backend, i edit one field in the frontend and save it, it should be stored in the backend
I have created a simple amplify graphql schema:
type FAQ @model(timestamps: null) {
id: ID!
sectionTitle: String
questionAndAnswer: [QuestionAndAnswer!]!
}
type QuestionAndAnswer {
id: ID!
question: String
answer: String
}
Then I populated it so it contains the following data:
{
"data": {
"listFAQS": {
"items": [
{
"sectionTitle": "Title2",
"id": "22735682-2bab-4695-b93e-1e50642d4654",
"questionAndAnswer": [
{
"answer": "answer4",
"id": "4",
"question": "question4"
},
{
"answer": "answer5",
"id": "5",
"question": "question5"
},
{
"answer": "answer6",
"id": "6",
"question": "question6"
}
]
},
{
"sectionTitle": "Title1",
"id": "21be8234-69f2-47fe-b942-d3e655197c70",
"questionAndAnswer": [
{
"answer": "answer1",
"id": "1",
"question": "question1"
},
{
"answer": "answer2",
"id": "2",
"question": "question2"
},
{
"answer": "answer3",
"id": "3",
"question": "question3"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
Is there an easy way I can only change for instance the question “question4” without having to send the whole FAQ “row”?
When I was experimenting with it it seemed that the whole array was reseted and only the new data was saved. Should both FAQ and QuestionAndAnswer be a @model each where I connect them with @connection and update them separately as needed?
