Getting started =============== Let’s build a basic GraphQL schema from scratch. Requirements ------------ - Python (2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, pypy) - Graphene (1.0) Project setup ------------- .. code:: bash pip install graphene --upgrade Creating a basic Schema ----------------------- A GraphQL schema describes your data model, and provides a GraphQL server with an associated set of resolve methods that know how to fetch data. We are going to create a very simple schema, with a ``Query`` with only one field: ``hello``. And when we query it should return ``"World"``. .. code:: python import graphene class Query(graphene.ObjectType): hello = graphene.String() def resolve_hello(self, args, context, info): return 'World' schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query) Querying -------- Then, we can start querying our schema: .. code:: python result = schema.execute('{ hello }') print result.data['hello'] # "World" Congrats! You got your first graphene schema working!
