Apollo GraphQL multiple ID variables in one query

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to pass multiple IDs to a useQuery for apollo hook. Or run a single query per ID, and if so how would I go about doing so.

I have the following query

const DECOR_SHEET = gql`
  query GetDecorSheet($id: ID!) {
    findDecorSheetByID(id:$id){
      refIdArray
      sheetName
      _id
    }
  }
`;

and the following useQuery hook

const { loading, error, data: sheetData } = useQuery(DECOR_SHEET, {
    variables: { id: id },
    context: {
      headers: {
        authorization: cookieBearer,
      },
    },
  });

I have the following IDs 293164663883956749, 293526016787218952 and I would like to return into one object in order to render into a component.

I am using Fauna DB and this is the input graphQL schema

type Catalog {
  decor: Boolean
  clothing: Boolean
  supplies: Boolean
  furniture: Boolean
  owner: User
}

type Decor {
  description: String
  pieces: Int
  purchaser: String
  alterations: Boolean
  cost: Int
  purchaseDate: Date
  category: String
  image: String
  itemNum: Int
  owner: User!
  visible: Boolean
}

type DecorSheet {
  sheetName: String
  refIdArray: String
  owner: User!
}

type User {
  email: String! @unique
  catalog: Catalog
  decor: [Decor!] @relation
  decorSheet: [DecorSheet!] @relation
}

and this is the generated schema

directive @embedded on OBJECT
directive @collection(name: String!) on OBJECT
directive @index(name: String!) on FIELD_DEFINITION
directive @resolver(
  name: String
  paginated: Boolean! = false
) on FIELD_DEFINITION
directive @relation(name: String) on FIELD_DEFINITION
directive @unique(index: String) on FIELD_DEFINITION
type Catalog {
  _id: ID!
  decor: Boolean
  clothing: Boolean
  supplies: Boolean
  owner: User
  furniture: Boolean
  _ts: Long!
}

input CatalogInput {
  decor: Boolean
  clothing: Boolean
  supplies: Boolean
  furniture: Boolean
  owner: CatalogOwnerRelation
}

input CatalogOwnerRelation {
  create: UserInput
  connect: ID
  disconnect: Boolean
}

scalar Date

type Decor {
  purchaseDate: Date
  visible: Boolean
  image: String
  description: String
  _id: ID!
  alterations: Boolean
  cost: Int
  pieces: Int
  category: String
  owner: User!
  purchaser: String
  itemNum: Int
  _ts: Long!
}

input DecorInput {
  description: String
  pieces: Int
  purchaser: String
  alterations: Boolean
  cost: Int
  purchaseDate: Date
  category: String
  image: String
  itemNum: Int
  owner: DecorOwnerRelation
  visible: Boolean
}

input DecorOwnerRelation {
  create: UserInput
  connect: ID
}

type DecorPage {
  data: [Decor]!
  after: String
  before: String
}

type DecorSheet {
  refIdArray: String
  _id: ID!
  sheetName: String
  owner: User!
  _ts: Long!
}

input DecorSheetInput {
  sheetName: String
  refIdArray: String
  owner: DecorSheetOwnerRelation
}

input DecorSheetOwnerRelation {
  create: UserInput
  connect: ID
}

type DecorSheetPage {
  data: [DecorSheet]!
  after: String
  before: String
}

scalar Long

type Mutation {
  updateUser(
    id: ID!
    data: UserInput!
  ): User
  createUser(data: UserInput!): User!
  createDecorSheet(data: DecorSheetInput!): DecorSheet!
  createDecor(data: DecorInput!): Decor!
  deleteCatalog(id: ID!): Catalog
  updateCatalog(
    id: ID!
    data: CatalogInput!
  ): Catalog
  updateDecor(
    id: ID!
    data: DecorInput!
  ): Decor
  updateDecorSheet(
    id: ID!
    data: DecorSheetInput!
  ): DecorSheet
  deleteDecor(id: ID!): Decor
  deleteUser(id: ID!): User
  createCatalog(data: CatalogInput!): Catalog!
  deleteDecorSheet(id: ID!): DecorSheet
}

type Query {
  findUserByID(id: ID!): User
  findCatalogByID(id: ID!): Catalog
  findDecorByID(id: ID!): Decor
  findDecorSheetByID(id: ID!): DecorSheet
}

scalar Time

type User {
  catalog: Catalog
  email: String!
  _id: ID!
  decor(
    _size: Int
    _cursor: String
  ): DecorPage!
  decorSheet(
    _size: Int
    _cursor: String
  ): DecorSheetPage!
  _ts: Long!
}

input UserCatalogRelation {
  create: CatalogInput
  connect: ID
  disconnect: Boolean
}

input UserDecorRelation {
  create: [DecorInput]
  connect: [ID]
  disconnect: [ID]
}

input UserDecorSheetRelation {
  create: [DecorSheetInput]
  connect: [ID]
  disconnect: [ID]
}

input UserInput {
  email: String!
  catalog: UserCatalogRelation
  decor: UserDecorRelation
  decorSheet: UserDecorSheetRelation
}

There is an option to query with Fauna's FQL which may have a way of querying multiple IDs I will have to look into that, but would prefer to do this in graphQL with apollo if possible.

Thanks ahead of time

If it's always exactly two ids, you can fetch both objects in a single query easily using field aliases:

const DECOR_SHEET = gql`
  query GetDecorSheet($firstId: ID!, $secondId: ID!) {
    firstDecorSheet: findDecorSheetByID(id: $firstId) {
      refIdArray
      sheetName
      _id
    }
    secondDecorSheet: findDecorSheetByID(id: $secondId) {
      refIdArray
      sheetName
      _id
    }
  }
`;
