I’m refactoring a Google Books app from a Restful API to GraphQL, and I am stuck on a mutation not behaving the way I expect.
When a user fills out the form found on Signup.js the Mutation ADD_USER should create a user within Mongoose, this user should have a JWT token assigned to them, and user should be logged in upon successful execution of the Mutation.
Actions observed: • Mutation is being fired off from the front end. When I open developer tools in the browser I can see the Username, Email and Password being passed as variables. • I have tried console logging the token, and keep getting an undefined return • When I try to run the mutation in the GraphQL sandbox I get a null value returned. • When I console log the args in resolvers.js no value appears on the console, which tells me the request is not reaching the resolver.
SignupForm.js (React FE Page)
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Form, Button, Alert } from "react-bootstrap";
import { useMutation } from "@apollo/client";
import { ADD_USER } from "../utils/mutations";
import Auth from "../utils/auth";
const SignupForm = () => {
// set initial form state
const [userFormData, setUserFormData] = useState({
username: "",
email: "",
password: "",
});
// set state for form validation
const [validated] = useState(false);
// set state for alert
const [showAlert, setShowAlert] = useState(false);
const [addUser] = useMutation(ADD_USER);
const handleInputChange = (event) => {
const { name, value } = event.target;
setUserFormData({ ...userFormData, [name]: value });
};
const handleFormSubmit = async (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
// check if form has everything (as per react-bootstrap docs)
const form = event.currentTarget;
if (form.checkValidity() === false) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
try {
///Add user is not returning data. payload is being passed as an object
const response = await addUser({
variables: { ...userFormData },
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error("OH NO!SOMETHING WENT WRONG!");
}
const { token, user } = await response.json();
console.log(user);
Auth.login(token);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
setShowAlert(true);
}
setUserFormData({
username: "",
email: "",
password: "",
});
};

Basically, I have combed from front to back end looking for where I introduced this bug, and am stuck. Any suggestions or feedback is greatly appreciated.
