Sharing logic between queries and mutations
hello, I'm having an hard time calling an
internalQuery from a mutation action. Is this possibile?3 Replies
You can call JS/TS functions from mutations and queries:

There's no point in calling a query from a mutation, since a mutation can do everything a query can do.

Thanks,I created a "helpers.ts" file where I write reusable functions, But is creating a helper file where I store all the functions considered a safe practice?
For example, as long as I check if the user is authorized to check the functions before they get called in the real functions (query, action, mutation, etc) it should be safe right?
There's no way one could run this functions directly?
