Node example: "const client = new shopify.clients.Graphql({session});\nconst data = await client.query({\n  data: {\n    \"query\": `mutation metafieldDefinitionPin($definitionId: ID!) {\n      metafieldDefinitionPin(definitionId: $definitionId) {\n        pinnedDefinition {\n          name\n          key\n          namespace\n          pinnedPosition\n        }\n        userErrors {\n          field\n          message\n        }\n      }\n    }`,\n    \"variables\": {\n      \"definitionId\": \"gid://shopify/MetafieldDefinition/1071456171\"\n    },\n  },\n});\n"
Ruby example: "session = ShopifyAPI::Auth::Session.new(\n  shop: \"your-development-store.myshopify.com\",\n  access_token: access_token\n)\nclient = ShopifyAPI::Clients::Graphql::Admin.new(\n  session: session\n)\n\nquery = <<~QUERY\n  mutation metafieldDefinitionPin($definitionId: ID!) {\n    metafieldDefinitionPin(definitionId: $definitionId) {\n      pinnedDefinition {\n        name\n        key\n        namespace\n        pinnedPosition\n      }\n      userErrors {\n        field\n        message\n      }\n    }\n  }\nQUERY\n\nvariables = {\n  \"definitionId\": \"gid://shopify/MetafieldDefinition/1071456171\"\n}\n\nresponse = client.query(query: query, variables: variables)\n" 
Remix example: "const { admin } = await authenticate.admin(request);\n\nconst response = await admin.graphql(\n  `#graphql\n  mutation metafieldDefinitionPin($definitionId: ID!) {\n    metafieldDefinitionPin(definitionId: $definitionId) {\n      pinnedDefinition {\n        name\n        key\n        namespace\n        pinnedPosition\n      }\n      userErrors {\n        field\n        message\n      }\n    }\n  }`,\n  {\n    variables: {\n      \"definitionId\": \"gid://shopify/MetafieldDefinition/1071456171\"\n    },\n  },\n);\n\nconst data = await response.json();\n"
