Simple Record Subscriptions

You can subscribe to records being created, updated, and deleted using 8base's auto-generated GraphQL subscription operation.

In the following examples, we have a table called Posts, which contains fields and relations like title, body, author.

Create a Subscription

Subscription for listening to table records being created.

subscription {
  Posts(filter: {
    mutation_in: [create]
  }) {
    node {
      title
      publishingDate
    }
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "Posts": {
      "node": {
        "title": "Nothing is Im-possumble",
        "publishingDate": "2020-01-18"
      }
    }
  }
}

Update a Subscription

    mutation_in: [update]
  }) {
    node {
      title

      publishingDate
      updatedAt
    }
    previousValues {
      title
      body
    }
    updatedFields
  }
