github graphql api，“ clientMutationId”是什么意思？

Question

I saw clientMutationId field in documentation - https://developer.github.com/v4/guides/migrating-from-rest/#example-strong-typing

what does clientMutationId mean? How can I generate it?

Answer 1

clientMutationId is not directly related with GraphQL but it is with graphql-relay .

Check Understanding Relay Mutations for a better explanation.

clientMutationId. This ID is generated by the Relay client behind the scenes to track the mutation's progress.
