Installation
============
Graphene-Django takes a few seconds to install and set up.
Requirements
------------
Graphene-Django currently supports the following versions of Django:
* Django 2.X
Installation
------------
.. code:: bash
pip install graphene-django
**We strongly recommend pinning against a specific version of Graphene-Django because new versions could introduce breaking changes to your project.**
Add ``graphene_django`` to the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in the ``settings.py`` file of your Django project:
.. code:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django.contrib.staticfiles', # Required for GraphiQL
'graphene_django'
]
We need to add a ``graphql`` URL to the ``urls.py`` of your Django project:
.. code:: python
from django.urls import path
from graphene_django.views import GraphQLView
urlpatterns = [
# ...
path("graphql", GraphQLView.as_view(graphiql=True)),
]
(Change ``graphiql=True`` to ``graphiql=False`` if you do not want to use the GraphiQL API browser.)
Finally, define the schema location for Graphene in the ``settings.py`` file of your Django project:
.. code:: python
GRAPHENE = {
'SCHEMA': 'django_root.schema.schema'
}
Where ``path.schema.schema`` is the location of the ``Schema`` object in your Django project.
The most basic ``schema.py`` looks like this:
.. code:: python
import graphene
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
pass
schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)
To learn how to extend the schema object for your project, read the basic tutorial.
