Create a Product with Variant and Variant Images using GraphQL API

[abishekrs]

Using the GraphQL API, is there a way to create a product with product variants and images for each variant using a single API call?

this is how to create a variant

here is your answer. You need to use the productCreate mutation AND the productVariantCreate mutation. You can‘t set it from one call. You could just wrap them both in a single function though

@Geist my question was more about creating the product using the GraphQL. Since product creation using REST is being deprecated, I am moving all my code to use the GraphQL and was wondering how I go about doing this in a single call.

in graphql every fetch call is a POST request so if you want to update the server you must use a mutation. I would note that each call to the graphql admin api must come from a server. You cant hit it from the front end. You either need to get a backend app up and running or use a serverless function

I understand, how to make the GraphQL calls using a server. Just figuring out if there is a way to create a product

- with 2 Options and 6 Option values
- with 20 images

- with 100+ variants 

All of the above using a single graphQL call using the mutation query.

No you can‘t do it with a single call. Creating a product requires one mutation creating a variant requires another mutation.

Hi @abishekrs 

We are working on adding file creation to productSet, stay tuned

I was looking at the same, just trying to find examples on how to do that.
