Update a Category

In order to update a given category, you'll need its ID. In the example above, the category ID is "Q2F0ZWdvcnk6MjM=".

Here's an example of the categoryUpdate mutation:

mutation {
  categoryUpdate(
    id: "Q2F0ZWdvcnk6MjM="
    input: {
      name: "BOOOOOKS!!"
      seo: { title: "Books", description: "Has pages" }
    }
  ) {
    category {
      id
      name
      description
      allowProductAssignment
      seoTitle
      seoDescription
    }
    productErrors {
      field
      message
      code
    }
  }
}
