Syntax Error GraphQL Expected Name, found String

Question

I am trying to implement mutations in GraphQL. I am using GraphQL Play Ground Ui for query.

Here is my mutation :

mutation{
  createProduct (data :{
     product: "abc", 
     product_status : {
      "1" : {
      order : "done"    
}

}

Here is my TypeDef

type Product { 
product : String,
product_status : JSON
}

But I am getting error in product_status excepted Name but found String as object contains 1 as string. How can i resolve this. I need to store this type of object in My database.Can someone help me to this.

GraphQL supports strict data typing. So basically you can't have a string as a property key because that would mean it wouldn't know what to deserialize into. Also I'm not sure if JSON is a data type. I know strings and types but not JSON. You coudld have a object like:

type Product { 
    product : String,
    product_status : ProductStatus
}

type ProductStatus {
    id: ID,
    order: String,
}

This is how you could design it.
