Graphene is a Python library for building GraphQL schemas/types fast and
easily. \* **Easy to use:** Graphene helps you use GraphQL in Python
without effort. \* **Relay:** Graphene has builtin support for Relay \*
**Django:** Automatic *Django model* mapping to Graphene Types. *See an
`example Django <http://github.com/graphql-python/swapi-graphene>`__
implementation*

*But, what is supported in this Python version?* **Everything**:
Interfaces, ObjectTypes, Mutations and Relay (Nodes, Connections and
Mutations).

Installation
------------

For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell

.. code:: bash

    pip install graphene
    # Or in case of need Django model support
    pip install graphene[django]

Examples
--------

Here is one example for get you started:

.. code:: python

    class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
        hello = graphene.StringField(description='A typical hello world')
        ping = graphene.StringField(description='Ping someone',
                                    to=graphene.Argument(graphene.String))

        def resolve_hello(self, args, info):
            return 'World'

        def resolve_ping(self, args, info):
            return 'Pinging {}'.format(args.get('to'))

    schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)

Then Querying ``graphene.Schema`` is as simple as:

.. code:: python

    query = '''
        query SayHello {
          hello
          ping(to:'peter')
        }
    '''
    result = schema.execute(query)
