Example

Update a Blog Article

In this example, we are going to update a blog article in the Knight Riders board using a GraphQL query.
After you have updated a blog message on the board, make sure you have received success as a response.

1. Sign in to your community.
2. Go to the Knight Rider board.
3. Make a note of the ID of the blog article which you want to update.
4. Make sure that you have the required permission to update the blog article.
5. Make a GraphQL POST request to the board.

The ID of the Klass Forum Board is 403.

Here is the GraphQL POST request and response to update a blog article.

mutation updateBlogArticle($id:ID!, $updateInput:UpdateBlogArticleInput!) {
   updateBlogArticle(id: $id, updateInput: $updateInput) {
        result {
            id
            body
            subject
            contentWorkflow {
                state
            }
        }
   }
}

The mutation here initiates an updateBlogArticle function using information passed through GraphQL variables. Here is an example to update a blog article.

{
    "id": "message:403",
    "updateInput": {
        "subject": "A trip to my hometown native",
        "body": "It's been long since I went to my native. This blog is about how I reached my native using my two-wheeler. A ride through lushy and dense reserved where I saw a lion."
    }
}

Here is the response to the above example.

{
    "data": {
        "updateBlogArticle": {
            "result": {
                "id": "message:403",
                "subject": "A trip to my hometown native",
                "body": "It's been long since I went to my native. This blog is about how I reached my native using my two-wheeler. A ride through lushy and dense reserved where I saw a lion.",
                "contentWorkflow": {
                    "state": "PUBLISH"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
