Deleting a Theme using GraphQL

In this guide, you will learn about how to delete a theme using a GraphQL mutation.

To delete a theme, you should make a GraphQL deleteTheme mutation.

In the backend, this mutation removes the theme json file, its associated theme directory (if it exists), and any file in the directory and commits the changes into the git repository.

deleteTheme mutation

The query for your mutation is given below.

mutation deleteTheme($themeId: String!, $removeOrReplaceScopes: Boolean, $replacementThemeId: String){
    deleteTheme(themeId: $themeId, removeOrReplaceScopes: $removeOrReplaceScopes, replacementThemeId: $replacementThemeId){
        result
        removedAssets{
            name
            directoryName
            subDirectoryName
            feature
        }
        errors{
            __typename
            ... on ThemeNotFoundError {
                message
                fields
                themeId
            }
            ... on ReplacementThemeNotFoundError {
                message
                fields
                themeId
            }
        }
    }
}

The variables for the above query are given below.

{
  "themeId": "myAwesomeTheme",
  "removeOrReplaceScopes": true,
  "replacementThemeId": "myOtherTheme"
}
