[FIXED] Django Strawberry writing a mutation that includes a foreign key that creates multiple objects

Issue

I am trying to have a graphql mutation create the inputs for two django models at once using strawberry. I check the docs here and there were no examples of how to do this.

I have the following django model:

class Address(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()
    address = models.ForeignKey('Address', on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=False, null=False)

With they type.py

@strawberry.django.type(models.Address)
class Address:
    id: auto
    name:auto

@strawberry.django.input(models.Address)
class AddressInput:
    id: auto
    name:auto

@strawberry.django.type(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'Address'

@strawberry.django.input(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'AddressInput'

For the schema.py I have:

@strawberry.type
class Mutation:
    createAddress: Address = mutations.create(AddressInput)
    createPerson: Person =mutations.create(PersonInput)

schema = strawberry.Schema(mutation=Mutation)

I tried the Mutation but got an error:

mutation newPerson ($name: String!, $addressname:String!){
  createPerson(data: {name: $name, address: {name: $addressname}}) {
    id
    name
    address {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

#Query Variables

{
"name": "Min",
"addressname": "jkkihh",
}

Error message:

"message": "Field 'id' expected a number but got PersonInput(id=<strawberry.unset._Unset object at 0x00000194FB945C90>, addressname='jkkihh', description=<strawberry.unset._Unset object at 0x00000194FB945C90>, notes=<strawberry.unset._Unset object at 0x00000194FB945C90>)."

This is similar the this question I previously asked using graphene. Where it was resolved by making an new object type to store and wrote a mutate function inside a class for mutation. I also tried doing two mutations but had issues getting the id for the foreign key address when it was created.

Solution

I think strawberry_django has a bug here, though you should prefer using the strawberry_django_plus package because it is more maintained, hopefully it will be merged to the official strawberry soon.

In your case it would be:

from strawberry_django_plus import gql
from strawberry import auto

@gql.django.type(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'Address'

@gql.django.input(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'AddressInput'

@gql.type
class Mutation:
    createAddress: Address = gql.django.create_mutation(AddressInput)
    createPerson: Person = gql.django.create_mutation(PersonInput)

schema = strawberry.Schema(mutation=Mutation)
