React-apollo update not reloading after mutation if I transform data before the render()

Question

I have wrapped for both Query and Mutations so I can globally handle the repeat actions that need to happen with each Query, Mutation. In the query I transform the data so I don't need to worry about all the nodes, edges, etc

I am using react-adopt to wrap all my query and mutations components into one render prop back on the view layer.

Works - Page will re-render once a mutation has taken place

<ApolloQuery>

export const ApolloQuery = ({
  query: query,
  render,
}) => {
  return (
    <Query query={query}>
      {({ data }) => {
        return (
          <Fragment>
               render(data)
          </Fragment>
        )
      }}
    </Query>
  )
}

A Component

export default externalProps => {
  return (
    <QueryContainer {...externalProps}>
      {({ someQueryData, aMutation }) => { //react-adopt render props
        const { nestedData } = new apolloClass(someQueryData).start()
        return (
          <Grid container spacing={16}>
            {nestedData.map((ticket, index) => (
               {...Mutation button in here}
            ))}
         </Grid>
        )
      }}
    </QueryContainer>
  )
}

Does not work - Page does not re-render but cache is updated with correct records

<ApolloQuery>

    <Query query={query}>
      {({ data }) => {
        const transformedData = new apolloClass(data).start() //move transform into render
        return (
          <Fragment>
               render(transformedData)
          </Fragment>
        )
      }}
    </Query>

A Component

export default externalProps => {
  return (
    <QueryContainer {...externalProps}>
      {({ someQueryData: { nestedData }, aMutation }) => {
        return (
          <Grid container spacing={16}>
            {nestedData.map((ticket, index) => (
               {...Mutation button in here}
            ))}
         </Grid>
        )
      }}
    </QueryContainer>
  )
}

So now, the page will not update after a mutation if I move the apolloClass to transform before the render of the query

Most likely you need to set refetchQueries or awaitRefetchQueries in the mutation options to force Apollo updating those queries and hence triggering a re-render.
