I used dgraph client for rust: [dgraph-tonic](https://github.com/selmeci/dgraph-tonic) .

I want to get the new record after mutate, but I quickly encountered a problem and raised the problem to dgraph-tonic: [After mutate, how to get the new record or uid ?](https://github.com/selmeci/dgraph-tonic/issues/17) .

There is no answer yet.

This problem prevented me from continuing to work.

I am not sure if this is a problem with dgraph-tonic or dgraph itself.

Hope to find the answer here.

Not Dgraph, it is a client issue

e.g

> <https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph-js-http/blob/8f485a6c195edf8b72f9dda4d1011718e90018fe/examples/simple/index-async-await.js#L75>

Via `assigned.data.uids` you can get the mutate uids. This should exists in that Rust client.

Hi,

We are going to add example to Readme.md asap.
