Access async action id inside of action

[talgat-ruby]

Hi

For example, lets say I have async action someAsyncAction. I can access action_id in the client via graphql.

mutation SomeAsyncActionRequest($name: String!) {
  someAsyncAction(name: $name)
}

{
  "data": {
    "someAsyncAction": "23b1c256-7aff-4b95-95bd-68220d9f93f2"
  }
}

But this is client. How about within action code? I want to save the action_id ro db to show its status only for a particular user.

module.exports = async (req, res) => {
  const { input, action } = req.body // can access action description: name, but why not id?
  const { name } = input

  try {
    const resp = await heavyRequest(name)

    res.send({
      success: resp.data.success
    })
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(400).json({
      message: err.message
    })
  }
}

The only workaround I found is to Proxy asynchronous action with synchronous action. Isn't it overhead.

You can get the action id of an async action already, via the mutation call. Here is the document link:

Let us know if the info suffice.

@adas98012 Thanks, but I know about that. But what about within action itself. Please refer to question I've updated.

@talgat-ruby I have opened a new issue in Github as an enhancement request. I have notified our engineering team and you should be able to track the status of the issue as well.
