Creating co-dependent records

- I have tables 
foo
 and 
bar

- 
foo
 has a required 
defaultBarId
 field
- 
bar
 must have a 
fooId
 field

I currently have to set 
foo.defaultBarId
 to optional, even though it's not, just to serve the split second of the 
foo
 record's existence when it doesn't have a 
defaultBarId
.

Curious if there's a workaround or a better approach, I'd like to type both fields as required.

If there's not something I'm missing here, I'm wondering if ID generation would be possible, as long as the ID is used within the confines of the mutation that it's generated in. In this case I could generate an ID for the 
bar
 record first, and then create both records with properly required types.
