Add 'arguments' to AddSingleField

[Shane32]

Suggestion: Although QueryGraphType.AddQueryField has an arguments parameter, AddSingleField does not. I would like to suggest that this feature be added. This will be useful because I want to implement the mutation class as a QueryGraphType, utilizing AddSingleField to allow the return type to provide potentially the entire graph (including subtables) of the updated data. So it would be coded like any other mutation, except the last line would be return dbContext.MyTable.Where(x => x.Id == argumentModel.Id). This would have another benefit of not having to provide separate return graphs/models for mutations, as they can simply return the same graph/model as the query. Of course, another call to the database would be made for every update, but this could be viewed as a benefit, and would be necessary anyway if subtables were requested.

If you like, I can post a pull request, but it would be later this week, as I have not delved into the source code as of yet.

It appears QueryGraphType<> class just maps functions from the IEfGraphQLService<> interface. So I accessed the IEfGraphQLService<> directly in my code.

I did post a pull request, but the code didn't end up helping me because I needed to return an additional field. So I wrapped the field in another graph and accessed IEfGraphQlService<> from it directly, bypassing the QueryGraphType<> class. The end result is exactly as I was hoping!

Incidentally, adding this extra graph solved another issue with this functionality - namely, that AddSingleField is not available in an async version. Since my code performs a bunch of database work to execute the mutation, it would definitely preferred for it to be an async function.

did you read the part about being a Patron? https://github.com/SimonCropp/GraphQL.EntityFramework/blob/master/doco/licensing-patron-faq.md#licensingpatron-faq

[Shane32]

Yes. I signed up before posting (under the company name Zbox).

Ok so I find OpenCollective very confusing. I'm sure I subscribed yesterday, but I can't find it listed in my account. I even have a thank-you confirmation email, so I know it went through. And if I wanted to change the subscription amount, I'm not sure how I'd do that. Not only that, it says somewhere that I should link the account to GitHub, and I can't find anywhere to do that. I didn't see multiple tiers of subscriptions, and if you can do that I'd suggest it.

[Shane32]

Figured it out....I think.
