findOrCreateBrand

Requires permission products:brand:create.

Returns the brand with this name, matched without regard to case, or creates it when none exists. A new brand gets a generated code. An empty name is refused. Needs the brands create permission.

Errors: a failed call returns a GraphQL errors entry, not a field on the result, and data may be null or partial. Read the entry's extensions.code and message; every shape and code is in the Error reference.

Example:

GraphQL

mutation FindOrCreateBrand($name: String!) {
  findOrCreateBrand(name: $name) {
    id
    code
    name
    createdAt
    deletedAt
    deletedBy
    products {
      id
      name
      status
      createdAt
      basePrice
      baseUOMId
    }
  }
}
