# entities.solutionTemplate

Read solution template records with the solutionTemplate repository, and change them with the solution template mutations. Same records as the REST SolutionTemplates entity.

REST: [SolutionTemplates](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/rest/solution-templates.md).

## Queries

- `getById(entityId: ID!): SolutionTemplateEntity` Returns the record with the given id, or null when there is none. Deleted records are returned as well.
- `getByIds(entityIds: [ID!]!): [SolutionTemplateEntity!]!` 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: SolutionTemplateFilterInput, orderBy: [SolutionTemplateOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [SolutionTemplateEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter, paged with limit and offset.
- `getByCriteria(filter: SolutionTemplateFilterInput, orderBy: [SolutionTemplateOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean, before: String, after: String, first: Int, last: Int): SolutionTemplateEntityConnection` 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

- `createSolutionTemplate(input: CreateSolutionTemplateInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!]): CreateSolutionTemplatePayload` Create one record.
- `updateSolutionTemplate(input: UpdateSolutionTemplateInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], sessionIdToUpdate: String): UpdateSolutionTemplatePayload` Update fields.
- `bulkUpdateSolutionTemplate(input: [CreateOrUpdateSolutionTemplateInput!]!, deleteInput: [DeleteSolutionTemplateInput!], validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], rollbackMethod: RollbackMethod, match: MatchingInput): BulkUpdateSolutionTemplatePayload` Create or update many; per-item results.
- `deleteSolutionTemplate(input: DeleteSolutionTemplateInput!): DeleteSolutionTemplatePayload` Soft-delete.

## Types

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
