Apollo Client Mutations: Execute, Refetch, and Update Cache
In this React + Apollo Client tutorial, you’ll learn how to send GraphQL mutations, handle loading states, and update your UI instantly without refreshing the page. We cover how variables work in mutations, how to refetch queries after a mutation, and how to manually update the Apollo cache using the update() function.
You’ll also see how Apollo stores data in the cache, how mutation payloads are returned, and how to keep your UI in sync with your backend in real time.
This is a must-know Apollo Client skill for any GraphQL-powered React application.
