Add Support for Batching Mutations

[ricbermo]

Perceived Problem

I was trying to delete multiple records at once but I noticed my "documents" are sent as queries

const requests = uuids.map((uuid: string) => ({
  document: deleteRecordById,
    variables: {uuid},
  }));
await client.batchRequests(requests);

// export const deleteRecordById = `
mutation deleteRecordById($uuid: ID!) {
  deleteRecordById(id: $uuid) {
    id
  }
}`;

Ideas / Proposed Solution(s)

It'd be nice to let batchRequests work for mutations as well.
For now, this is what I did

const request = uuids.map((uuid: string) =>
  client.request(deleteChildAthleteById, {uuid}),
);
await Promise.all(request);

Thanks

For the time being one can use:

const batchRequests = async (requests) => Promise.all(requests.map((request) => mutationClient.request(request.document, request.variables)))

The downside with this workaround is that it's not really batching requests since multiple requests are sent albeit in parallel.

The idea is to use this in the meanwhile there is no graphql-request working feature that contemplates batching mutations. Once graphql-request develops the feature, it is just the matter of using graphql-request's batchRequests as a drop-in replacement for this workaround.
