在Relay Modern中使用订阅时，“updater”无法正常工作

Question

I'm using Relay Modern in my app and have successfully integrated subscriptions using the requestSubscription function. All works well and the updater function that I use to update the cache gets called correctly with the proper subscription payload.

The subscription is used to add a new item to a list of Link elements. Here's what the subscription looks like:

NewLinkSubscription.js

const newLinkSubscription = graphql`
  subscription NewLinkSubscription {
    Link {
      mutation
      node {
        id
        description
        url
        createdAt
        postedBy {
          id
          name
        }
      }
    }
  }
`

export default (updater, onError) => {

  const subscriptionConfig = {
    subscription: newLinkSubscription,
    variables: {},
    updater,
    onError
  }

  requestSubscription(
    environment,
    subscriptionConfig
  )

}

I then have a LinkList component that's rendering all the Link elements. In componentDidMount of that component, I initiate the NewLinkSubscription :

LinkList.js

class LinkList extends Component {

  componentDidMount() {
    NewLinkSubscription(
      proxyStore => {
        const createLinkField = proxyStore.getRootField('Link')
        const newLink = createLinkField.getLinkedRecord('node')
        const viewerProxy = proxyStore.get(this.props.viewer.id)
        const connection = ConnectionHandler.getConnection(viewerProxy, 'LinkList_allLinks')
        if (connection) {
          ConnectionHandler.insertEdgeAfter(connection, newLink)
        }
      },
      error => console.log(`An error occured:`, error),
    )
  }

  render() {
    console.log(`LinkList - render `, this.props.viewer.allLinks.edges)
    return (
      <div>
        {this.props.viewer.allLinks.edges.map(({node}) =>
          {
            console.log(`render node: `, node)
            return <Link key={node.id} link={node} viewer={this.props.viewer} />
          }
        )}
      </div>
    )
  }

}

export default createFragmentContainer(LinkList, graphql`
  fragment LinkList_viewer on Viewer {
    id
    ...Link_viewer
    allLinks(last: 100, orderBy: createdAt_DESC) @connection(key: "LinkList_allLinks", filters: []) {
      edges {
        node {
          ...Link_link
        }
      }
    }
  }
`)

Now, here's what's happening when a subscription with a new Link comes in. The updater is called correctly and it seems like the new node gets inserted into the connection correctly (at least ConnectionHandler.insertEdgeAfter(connection, newLink) is called).

This triggers a rerender of the component. When I debug render to inspect the data ( props.viewer.allLinks.edges ), I can see that a new node indeed was added to the connection - so the list actually does contain one more item now! However, the problem is that this new node is actually undefined which causes the app to crash!

Does anyone spot what I'm missing here?

I was able to make it work, this is how I implemented the updater now:

NewLinkSubscription(
  proxyStore => {
    const linkField = proxyStore.getRootField('Link')
    const newLink = linkField.getLinkedRecord('node')
    const viewerProxy = proxyStore.get(this.props.viewer.id)
    const connection = ConnectionHandler.getConnection(viewerProxy, 'LinkList_allLinks', {
      last: 100,
      orderBy: 'createdAt_DESC'
    })
    if (connection) {
      const edge = ConnectionHandler.createEdge(proxyStore, connection, newLink, 'allLinks')
      ConnectionHandler.insertEdgeBefore(connection, edge)
    }
  },
  error => console.log(`An error occurred:`, error),
)
