Hi i'm actually working on a report system for my social network, i want to achieve something like : if a user is reported 5 times it will update a field on the user table to deactivate the user.

So if 5 row of reports is created i want to update the "activated" field

The thing is i'm working with GraphQL and Vue for the first time, my backend is in Symfony with ApiPlatform.

Should i try to query all the reports with the userId who is reported to count if there is 5 row when a user is reported and then mutate the user object to deactivate it or can i achieve this more easily on the backend side ?

So anything of importance should be done on the backend. The frontend is easily hacked and while it's good to stop normal (good) users from seeing something they're not supposed to, it's not a blocker to anyone who has even rudimentary web coding ability.

Seeing as you're talking about someone being reported, I'd recommend doing it on the backend and then make sure the frontend reflects that gracefully.

Hum it seems that the answer is that i need a reportListener and i need to listen the postPersist event, then inside this function i can check how many report there is for a user using the ReportRepository->findBy function, then i can count the row of the array return by the function and if the count is > 5 then i edit my user, persist and flush.
