Same records as the REST ContactRelations entity. REST: [ContactRelations](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/rest/contact-relations.md). ## Queries - `getById(entityId: ID!): ContactRelationEntity` Returns the record with the given id, or null when there is none. Deleted records are returned as well. - `getByIds(entityIds: [ID!]!): [ContactRelationEntity!]!` Returns the records with the given ids; ids without a record are left out. Deleted records are returned as well. - `getAll(limit: Int, offset: Int, filter: ContactRelationFilterInput, orderBy: [ContactRelationOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [ContactRelationEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter, paged with limit and offset. - `getByCriteria(filter: ContactRelationFilterInput, orderBy: [ContactRelationOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [ContactRelationEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter as a cursor-paginated connection. - `getChangedFieldsSinceRevision(id: UUID!, revision: Int!): [UUID!]!` Returns the ids of the fields of a record that changed after the given revision. Returns an empty list for entities without change tracking. ## Mutations - `createContactRelation(input: CreateContactRelationInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!]): CreateContactRelationPayload` Create one record. - `updateContactRelation(input: UpdateContactRelationInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], sessionIdToUpdate: String): UpdateContactRelationPayload` Update fields. - `bulkUpdateContactRelation(input: [CreateOrUpdateContactRelationInput!]!, deleteInput: [DeleteContactRelationInput!], validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], rollbackMethod: RollbackMethod, match: MatchingInput): BulkUpdateContactRelationPayload` Create or update many; per-item results. - `deleteContactRelation(input: DeleteContactRelationInput!): DeleteContactRelationPayload` Soft-delete. ## Types ### ContactRelationEntity (object) Link between two related contacts, such as colleagues or family members; its labels give the kind of relationship. - `isDeleteProtected: Boolean!` True when the record is protected against deletion because it must always exist in the space. Deleting a record that is not protected can still fail on other checks. Read-only. - `id: ID!` Unique identifier of entity. - `isDeleted: Boolean` Specifies if the entity is considered deleted. - `modified: DateTime` Last modification time. - `created: DateTime` Creation time. - `contact1: ContactEntity` One side of the contact-to-contact relationship. - `contact2: ContactEntity` Other side of the contact-to-contact relationship. - `contact1Id: ID!` Id of the first related contact. - `contact2Id: ID!` Id of the second related contact. - `revision: Int` Revision when entity was lastly changed. - `instancePermissions: [EntityPermsEnum!]! (1 args)` Permissions the current user has on this record, out of the requested ones. ### ContactRelationFilterInput (input) Filter conditions for ContactRelation records. Conditions on different fields are combined with AND; use OR, AND and NOT for other combinations. - `OR: [ContactRelationFilterInput!]` Matches records that meet at least one of the listed filters. - `AND: [ContactRelationFilterInput!]` Matches records that meet all of the listed filters. - `NOT: ContactRelationFilterInput` Matches records that do not meet this filter. - `globalSearchQuery: String` Search term matched against the fields that the global search covers for this entity. - `id: EntityFilterStringField` Unique identifier of entity. - `isDeleted: Boolean` Specifies if the entity is considered deleted. - `modified: EntityFilterDateTimeField` Last modification time. - `created: EntityFilterDateTimeField` Creation time. - `contact1Id: EntityFilterStringField` Id of the first related contact. - `contact2Id: EntityFilterStringField` Id of the second related contact. - `revision: EntityFilterNumberField` Revision when entity was lastly changed. - `contact1: ContactFilterInput` One side of the contact-to-contact relationship. Matches records where a related record meets these conditions. - `contact2: ContactFilterInput` Other side of the contact-to-contact relationship. Matches records where a related record meets these conditions. ### ContactRelationOrderByInput (input) Sorting of ContactRelation records. Set exactly one field in each item; list several items to sort by more fields, in order of priority. - `id: OrderByEnum` Unique identifier of entity. - `isDeleted: OrderByEnum` Specifies if the entity is considered deleted. - `modified: OrderByEnum` Last modification time. - `created: OrderByEnum` Creation time. - `contact1: [ContactOrderByNestedInput!]` One side of the contact-to-contact relationship. Sorts by fields of the related record, listed in order of priority. - `contact2: [ContactOrderByNestedInput!]` Other side of the contact-to-contact relationship. Sorts by fields of the related record, listed in order of priority. - `contact1Id: OrderByEnum` Id of the first related contact. - `contact2Id: OrderByEnum` Id of the second related contact. - `revision: OrderByEnum` Revision when entity was lastly changed. ### CreateContactRelationInput (input) Field values of a new ContactRelation record. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). - `modified: DateTime` Last modification time. - `created: DateTime` Creation time. - `contact1Id: ID!` Id of the first related contact. - `contact2Id: ID!` Id of the second related contact. - `revision: Int` Revision when entity was lastly changed. ### CreateOrUpdateContactRelationInput (input) Field values of a ContactRelation record to create, or to update when its id is set. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). - `id: ID` Unique identifier of entity. - `modified: DateTime` Last modification time. - `created: DateTime` Creation time. - `contact1Id: ID` Id of the first related contact. - `contact2Id: ID` Id of the second related contact. - `revision: Int` Revision when entity was lastly changed. ### DeleteContactRelationInput (input) Id of the ContactRelation record to delete. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). - `id: ID!` Unique identifier of entity. ### UpdateContactRelationInput (input) Id of a ContactRelation record and the field values to change. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). - `id: ID!` Unique identifier of entity. - `modified: DateTime` Last modification time. - `created: DateTime` Creation time. - `contact1Id: ID` Id of the first related contact. - `contact2Id: ID` Id of the second related contact. - `revision: Int` Revision when entity was lastly changed. ### BulkUpdateContactRelationPayload (object) Result of the bulkUpdateContactRelation mutation. - `result: BulkUpdateResults!` Ids of the created, updated and deleted records, and the items that failed. ### CreateContactRelationPayload (object) Result of the createContactRelation mutation. - `contactRelation: ContactRelationEntity` The created record. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). ### DeleteContactRelationPayload (object) Result of the deleteContactRelation mutation. - `contactRelation: ContactRelationEntity` The deleted record. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). ### UpdateContactRelationPayload (object) Result of the updateContactRelation mutation. - `contactRelation: ContactRelationEntity` The updated record. - `clientMutationId: String` Optional client-supplied identifier passed on a mutation input and echoed back unchanged on its payload, so a client can correlate the response with its request (Relay convention). Types several repositories share, such as `PageInfo` and the filter fields, are in the [types index](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/graphql/types.md). The [SDL](https://developers.coevera.com/graphql/schema.graphql) has the whole schema in one file. ## Example ```graphql query FirstContactRelations { entities { contactRelation { getByCriteria(first: 3, orderBy: [{ modified: Desc }]) { totalCount edges { node { id modified } } } } } } ``` ```bash curl 'https://{region}.api.coevera.com/api/v100/app/space/{space_id}/graphql/public' \ --user "$COEVERA_API_KEY:$COEVERA_API_SECRET" \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"query":"query FirstContactRelations { entities { contactRelation { getByCriteria(first: 3, orderBy: [{ modified: Desc }]) { totalCount edges { node { id modified } } } } } }"}' ```
