Tutorial: Creating or Updating Website Assets Using GraphQL

Using GraphQL, it is possible to create a website asset on OptiSigns.

1. Creating a New Website Asset

To do this, we’ll need to create a specific Mutation:

mutation saveAsset ($payload: AssetInput!, $teamId: String)
{saveAsset (payload:$payload,teamId:$teamId){
  _id
  originalFileName
  webLink
  webType
  fileType
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "payload": {
    "originalFileName": "",
    "webLink": "",
    "webType": "",
    "fileType": ""
  }
}

This Mutation, once run, will create a new asset:

This asset can now be assigned to a device, queried for additional information, or added to a playlist or schedule.

2. Updating Assets

Updating assets is as simple as running the same Mutation while providing an _id field. This can be done for any asset type, not just website assets, but we will be using a website asset as an example.

Variables:

{
  "payload": {
    "_id": "",
    "originalFileName": "",
    "webLink": "",
    "webType": "",
    "fileType": ""
  }
}
