Hi!
The models are generated as data classes with vals as you can see, and at the moment it is not possible to generate vars instead. It's likely you will want to convert these to your own (non generated) models, but maybe you can tell us a bit more about your use case?

[muslimmuda15]

in my flow, I want to update some item of order list List<OrderField> inside RecyclerView.
so I need some variables like paid and updated can be update programmatically and add extra variable outside query.
Maybe I can implementation like this:

data class MyCustomOrder(
    var isActive: Boolean,
    var paid: Boolean,
    var updated: Boolean,
    var myOrder: OrderField,
)

But this is not the clear code, because I will set them one by one again.

If the data class can set extra variable, and can change val into var, I think it will be more clear.

It looks like you could benefit from a way to have local only fields, which is a feature that exists on the web client but not yet on Apollo Kotlin. It's tracked in this issue: #2611.

For now you can wrap or convert the generated class into your own model with the additional fields.

Yeah, in ReactJS, codegen is pretty clear and easy to used it.

We're tracking local fields in #2611 so closing this issue for now, but don't hesitate to open another issue if needed.
