Simplifying Object Updates with Generated Types

[hutchic]

There's a high probability that the answer is this is possible and I'm just doing it wrong ....

I'm wondering if there's a streamlined way to use the generated types such that objects fetched via a query can be directly modified and used in a corresponding mutation without additional boilerplate.

I think a pseudocode example better demonstrates what I would assume an inherent design goal would be:

posts.yml

query GetPost($postId: uuid!) {
  post_by_pk(post_id: $postId) {
    ...PostFields
  }
}

mutation UpdatePostByPK($postId: uuid!, $post: post_set_input!) {
  update_post_by_pk(pk_columns: {post_id: $postId}, _set: $post) {
    ...PostFields
  }
}

let post = useGetPost({ variables: { postId } });
post.title = 'Updated Title';
let updateResult = useUpdatePostByPK({ variables: { postId, post } });

My expectation was that the types generated by graphql-codegen would facilitate a smooth workflow where the object retrieved from GetPost could be directly manipulated and passed to UpdatePostByPK. However, I find myself needing to manually align or transform the data structures.

1. Is there a recommended way to achieve this seamless integration using graphql-codegen?
2. If not, would this be considered a reasonable feature request?
