Expose awarded emojis on notes through GraphQL
Problem to solve
To enable consumers of our GraphQL API to fully represent a conversation on an MR/Issue, we should expose award emojis for discussion notes.
One of the use cases for this feature is to support reactions when reviewing MRs in the ~"VS Code" gitlab-vscode-extension#269 (closed).
Proposal
Introduce awardEmojis field on the Note GraphQL entity. This would allow the GraphQL clients to retrieve discussion notes with emojis.
Further details
-
RESTful API allows getting a list of award emojis for a single note https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/award_emoji.html#award-emoji-on-comments. This approach might create tens or hundreds of requests per MR/Issue.
-
We do provide GraphQL mutation to add award emoji to a note:
mutation{ awardEmojiAdd(input:{awardableId: "gid://gitlab/DiffNote/447164415", name: "tada"}){ errors } }
