This means, for each of our models, we are going to create a type, subclassing ``DjangoObjectType``
To create GraphQL types for each of our Django models, we are going to subclass the ``DjangoObjectType`` class which will automatically define GraphQL fields that correspond to the fields on the Django models.

Note that the above ``Query`` class is a mixin, inheriting from
``object``. This is because we will now create a project-level query
class which will combine all our app-level mixins.
Create the parent project-level ``cookbook/schema.py``:
.. code:: python
import graphene
import cookbook.ingredients.schema
class Query(cookbook.ingredients.schema.Query, graphene.ObjectType):
# This class will inherit from multiple Queries
# as we begin to add more apps to our project

Getting single objects
----------------------
So far, we have been able to fetch list of objects and follow relation. But what about single objects?
We can update our schema to support that, by adding new query for ``ingredient`` and ``category`` and adding arguments, so we can query for specific objects.
Add the **Highlighted** lines to ``cookbook/ingredients/schema.py``
.. literalinclude:: schema.py
:emphasize-lines: 19-21,25-27,36-58
Now, with the code in place, we can query for single objects.
For example, lets query ``category``:
.. code::
query {
category(id: 1) {
name
}
anotherCategory: category(name: "Dairy") {
ingredients {
id
name
}
}
}
This will give us the following results:
.. code::
{
"data": {
"category": {
"name": "Dairy"
},
"anotherCategory": {
"ingredients": [
{
"id": "1",
"name": "Eggs"
},
{
"id": "2",
"name": "Milk"
}
]
}
}
}
As an exercise, you can try making some queries to ``ingredient``.
Something to keep in mind - since we are using one field several times in our query, we need `aliases <http://graphql.org/learn/queries/#aliases>`__
Summary
-------
As you can see, GraphQL is very powerful but there are a lot of repetitions in our example. We can do a lot of improvements by adding layers of abstraction on top of ``graphene-django``.
As you can see, GraphQL is very powerful and integrating Django models allows you to get started with a working server quickly.
