Dan Kortschak e02622a064 docs: various fixes to the graphql tutorial (#2965)
* doc/md: fix resolver diff and isolation example

* doc/md: fix updateTodo input field

* doc/md: add missing extension and fix paths

Without entgql.WithSchemaGenerator entc.go fails to run.

* doc/md: add file titles

Note that the where:TodoWhereInput parameter is pre-filled in the
generated ent.graphql file.

* doc/md: add context to conjunction/negation example

Only add for the first example to provide a lead to readers.

title: Transactional Mutations
sidebar_label: Transactional Mutations
---
In this section, we continue the [GraphQL example](tutorial-todo-gql.mdx) by explaining how to set our GraphQL mutations
to be transactional. That means, to automatically wrap our GraphQL mutations with a database transaction and either
commit at the end, or rollback the transaction in case of a GraphQL error.
#### Clone the code (optional)
The code for this tutorial is available under [github.com/a8m/ent-graphql-example](https://github.com/a8m/ent-graphql-example),
and tagged (using Git) in each step. If you want to skip the basic setup and start with the initial version of the GraphQL
server, you can clone the repository and checkout `v0.1.0` as follows:
```console
git clone git@github.com:a8m/ent-graphql-example.git
cd ent-graphql-example
go run ./cmd/todo/
```
## Usage
The GraphQL extensions provides a handler named `entgql.Transactioner` that executes each GraphQL mutation in a
transaction. The injected client for the resolver is a [transactional `ent.Client`](transactions.md#transactional-client).
Hence, GraphQL resolvers that uses `ent.Client` won't need to be changed. In order to add it to our todo list application
we follow these steps:
1\. Edit the `cmd/todo/main.go` and add to the GraphQL server initialization the `entgql.Transactioner` handler as
follows:
```diff title="cmd/todo/main.go"
srv := handler.NewDefaultServer(todo.NewSchema(client))
+srv.Use(entgql.Transactioner{TxOpener: client})
```
2\. Then, in the GraphQL mutations, use the client from context as follows:
```diff title="todo.resolvers.go"
}
+func (mutationResolver) CreateTodo(ctx context.Context, input ent.CreateTodoInput) (*ent.Todo, error) {
+ client := ent.FromContext(ctx)
+ return client.Todo.Create().SetInput(input).Save(ctx)
-func (r *mutationResolver) CreateTodo(ctx context.Context, input ent.CreateTodoInput) (*ent.Todo, error) {
- return r.client.Todo.Create().SetInput(input).Save(ctx)
}
```
## Isolation Levels
If you'd like to tweak the transaction's isolation level, you can do so by implementing your own `TxOpener`. For example:
```go title="cmd/todo/main.go"
srv.Use(entgql.Transactioner{
TxOpener: entgql.TxOpenerFunc(func(ctx context.Context) (context.Context, driver.Tx, error) {
tx, err := client.BeginTx(ctx, &sql.TxOptions{Isolation: sql.LevelRepeatableRead})
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, err
}
ctx = ent.NewTxContext(ctx, tx)
ctx = ent.NewContext(ctx, tx.Client())
return ctx, tx, nil
}),
})
```

Great! With a few lines of code, our application now supports automatic transactional mutations. Please continue to the
next section where we explain how to extend the Ent code generator and generate [GraphQL input types](https://graphql.org/graphql-js/mutations-and-input-types/)
for our GraphQL mutations.
