Answer 1

I would like to complete the answer from @aᴍɪʀ by providing the pattern for properly doing a query / mutation with parameters:

const params = {
  username: 'john',
  password: 'hello, world!',
  userData: {
    ...
  }
}

query(`mutation createUser(
          $username: String!,
          $password: String!,
          $userData: UserInput) {
  createUserWithPassword(
    username: $username,
    password: $password,
    userData: $userData) {
    id
    name {
      familyName
      givenName
    }
  }
}`, params)

This way, you don't have to deal with the string construction bits " or ' here and there.
