Mutation Modes

There a two modes for document mutations. The Free-form API allows updating single editable content but requires lots of Pimcore insight knowledge. The Tree API provides a more intuitive nested approach for creating and updating documents.

Free-form API

info

Important Note: To be able to fully exploit this feature you have to understand Pimcore's editable naming strategy

Update or add single or multiple editables by defining their exact name and their content.

Sample (Update Existing Document)

mutation {
   updateDocumentPage(
      id: 99
      input: {
         editableUpdateStrategy: replaceAll    # defaults to update
         editables: {
            input: [
               { _editableName: "content:2.headline", text: "HEYYOU 3" }
               { _editableName: "headline", text: "NEW 2" }
            ]
            wysiwyg: [
               { _editableName: "content:1.content", text: "my new <b>wysiwyg</b>" }
            ]
         }
         module: "mymodule"
      }
   ) {
      success
      document {
         controller
      }
   }
}

Additional Examples

See following list for more examples with the free-form API approach:

• Create document with areablocks and nested block with images
• Update email document
• Create a new link document

Tree API

If you are not familiar with Pimcore's editable naming strategy you can also use the nested approach.

Sample (Update a Page With an Areablock Using the Nested Approach)

mutation {
   updateDocumentPage(
      id: 99
      input: {
         editables: {
            areablock: [
               {
                  _editableName: "content"
                  items: [
                     {
                        type: "headlines"
                        editables: {
                           input: [
                              {
                                 _editableName: "headline"
                                 text: "HEY, I AM A SUBHEADLINE"
                              }
                           ]
                        }
                     }
                  ]
               }
            ]
         }
         controller: "@AppBundle\\Controller\\ContentController"
         action: "default"
      }
   ) {
      success
      document {
         controller
         elements {
            __typename
         }
      }
   }
}
