useMutation()

note

The hooks provided by @trpc/react-query are a thin wrapper around @tanstack/react-query. For in-depth information about options and usage patterns, refer to their docs on mutations.

Works like react-query's mutations - see their docs.

Example

Backend code

server/routers/_app.ts
tsx
import { initTRPC } from '@trpc/server';
import { z } from 'zod';
export const t = initTRPC.create();
export const appRouter = t.router({
  // Create procedure at path 'login'
  // The syntax is identical to creating queries
  login: t.procedure
    // using zod schema to validate and infer input values
    .input(
      z.object({
        name: z.string(),
      }),
    )
    .mutation((opts) => {
      // Here some login stuff would happen
      return {
        user: {
          name: opts.input.name,
          role: 'ADMIN',
        },
      };
    }),
});
