mutation() public méthode

A mutation is a change to the datastore. Create, Update and Delete are examples of mutations, while Read is not. Google Cloud Datastore supports multiple mutations in a single API call, subject to the limits of the service. Adding mutations separately from committing the changes allows you to create complex operations, both inside a transaction and not.

public mutation ( string $operation, Entity | Key $input, string $type, string $baseVersion = null ) : array
$operation string The operation to execute. "Insert", "Upsert", "Update" or "Delete".
$input Entity | Key The entity or key to mutate.
$type string The type of the input array.
$baseVersion string [optional] The version of the entity that this mutation is being applied to. If this does not match the current version on the server, the mutation conflicts.
Résultat array [Mutation](https://cloud.google.com/datastore/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects/commit#Mutation).
