AWS Appsync Optimistic Response and Models that have relationships using @connection

How do you get AWS Appsync Optimistic Response to work when your models have relationships using @connection?

The generated mutation input fields don't take "jobs" as input but the optimistic response requires it to work. I get this warning that says: Missing field jobs in { "__typename": "User"...}

My User model uses @connection to connect users with jobs.

type User
  @model
  @key(fields: ["tenantId", "userId"])
{
  tenantId: String!
  userId: ID!
  ...
  jobs: [JobAssignee] @connection(name: "UserJobs", keyField: "userId")
}

My react component setup:

export default compose(
  graphql(ListUsers, {
    options: {
      fetchPolicy: 'cache-and-network',
      variables: {
        limit: 100
      }
    },
    props: (props: any) => ({
      users: props.data.listUsers ? props.data.listUsers.items : [],
      data: props.data
    })
  }),
  graphqlMutation(NewUser, ListUsers, 'User', 'userId'),
  graphqlMutation(EditUser, ListUsers, 'User', 'userId')
)(Users);

Hi @amirmishani

The graphqlMutation helper doesn't work on types with connections at the moment. For now you'll have to write your own apollo update functions, I am sorry I don't have a better suggestion at the moment.

I am labeling this as a feature request.

@manueliglesias Thanks for the info. After I opened the issue I did end up writing my own apollo update functions and it's working perfectly. Obviously the boilerplate is a bit much but it's worth getting the offline capabilities.
