# ![Graphene Logo](http://graphene-python.org/favicon.png) [Graphene](http://graphene-python.org) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/graphql-python/graphene.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/graphql-python/graphene) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/graphql-python/graphene/badge.svg?branch=master&service=github)](https://coveralls.io/github/graphql-python/graphene?branch=master)
Graphene is a Python library for building GraphQL schemas/types fast and easily.
* **Easy to use:** It maps the models/fields to internal GraphQL objects without effort.
* **Relay:** Graphene has builtin support for Relay
* **Django:** Automatic [Django models](#djangorelay-schema) conversion. *See an [example Django](http://github.com/graphql-python/swapi-graphene) implementation*
## Installation
For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell
```bash
pip install graphene
```
## Usage
Example code of a GraphQL schema using Graphene:
### Schema definition
```python
class Character(graphene.Interface):
id = graphene.IDField()
name = graphene.StringField()
friends = graphene.ListField('self')
def resolve_friends(self, args, *_):
return [Human(f) for f in self.instance.friends]
class Human(Character):
homePlanet = graphene.StringField()
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
human = graphene.Field(Human)
schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)
```
Then Querying `graphene.Schema` is as simple as:
```python
query = '''
query HeroNameQuery {
hero {
name
}
}
'''
result = schema.execute(query)
```
### Relay Schema
Graphene also supports Relay, check the [Starwars Relay example](tests/starwars_relay)!
```python
class Ship(relay.Node):
name = graphene.StringField()
@classmethod
def get_node(cls, id):
return Ship(your_ship_instance)
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
ships = relay.ConnectionField(Ship)
node = relay.NodeField()
```
### Django+Relay Schema
If you want to use graphene with your Django Models check the [Starwars Django example](tests/starwars_django)!
```python
class Ship(DjangoNode):
class Meta:
model = YourDjangoModelHere
# only_fields = ('id', 'name') # Only map this fields from the model
# exclude_fields ('field_to_exclude', ) # Exclude mapping this fields from the model
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
node = relay.NodeField()
```
