Auto invalidate cache

It's a powerful feature help to purge cached query results through mutation operations responses.

For example, imagine this GraphQL schema:

type Book {
  id: ID!
  title: String!
}

type Mutation {
  updateBook: Book!
}

and the following mutation query:

mutation {
  updateBook {
    id
  }
}

Once the mutation completes, any cached query results that contain the Book with the returned ID will be invalidated.

note

Auto invalidate cache feature does not automatically invalidate data is when items are added to a list, you can use admin API to purge via specific type.

This feature enabled by default. If you want to disable it, set value of GBOX_AUTO_INVALIDATE_CACHE environment variable to false.
