Relay.Store

The Relay Store provides an API for dispatching mutations to the server.

Overview

Methods

Note: Equivalent applyUpdate and commitUpdate methods are also provided on the this.props.relay prop that is passed to components by Relay.Container. These dispatch mutations in the context of the currently active Relay.Environment.

Methods

commitUpdate (static method)

static commitUpdate(mutation: RelayMutation, callbacks: {
  onFailure?: (transaction: RelayMutationTransaction) => void;
  onSuccess?: (response: Object) => void;
}): RelayMutationTransaction

// Argument to `onFailure` callback
type Transaction = {
  getError(): ?Error;
}

The commitUpdate method is analogous to dispatching an action in Flux. Relay processes the mutation as follows:

  • If the mutation defines an optimistic payload - a set of data to apply locally while waiting for the server response - Relay applies this change and updates any affected React components (note that optimistic updates do not overwrite known server data in the cache).
  • If the mutation would not 'collide' (overlap) with other pending mutations - as specified by its getCollisionKey implementation - it is sent to the server. If it would conflict, it is enqueued until conflicting mutations have completed.
  • When the server response is received, one of the callbacks is invoked:
    • onSuccess is called if the mutation succeeded.
    • onFailure is called if the mutation failed.

Example

var onSuccess = () => {
  console.log('Mutation successful!');
};
var onFailure = (transaction) => {
  var error = transaction.getError() || new Error('Mutation failed.');
  console.error(error);
};
var mutation = new MyMutation({...});

Relay.Store.commitUpdate(mutation, {onFailure, onSuccess});

applyUpdate (static method)

static applyUpdate(mutation: RelayMutation, callbacks: {
  onFailure?: (transaction: RelayMutationTransaction) => void;
  onSuccess?: (response: Object) => void;
}): RelayMutationTransaction

The applyUpdate adds a mutation just like update, but does not commit it. It returns a RelayMutationTransaction that can be committed or rollbacked.

When the transaction is committed and the response is received from the server, one of the callbacks is invoked: - onSuccess is called if the mutation succeeded. - onFailure is called if the mutation failed.

Example

var onSuccess = () => {
  console.log('Mutation successful!');
};
var onFailure = (transaction) => {
  var error = transaction.getError() || new Error('Mutation failed.');
  console.error(error);
};
var mutation = new MyMutation({...});

var transaction = Relay.Store.applyUpdate(mutation, {onFailure, onSuccess});

transaction.commit();
