Graphene |Build Status| |Coverage Status|
=========================================
Graphene is a Python library for creating GraphQL schemas/types easly.
It maps the models/fields to internal GraphQL objects without effort.
Including automatic `Django models`_ conversion.
Installation
------------
For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell
.. code:: bash
pip install graphene
Usage
-----
Example code of a GraphQL schema using Graphene:
Schema definition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: 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)
Querying
~~~~~~~~
Querying ``graphene.Schema`` is as simple as:
.. code:: python
query = '''
query HeroNameQuery {
hero {
name
}
}
'''
result = schema.execute(query)
Relay Schema
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Graphene also supports Relay, check the `Starwars Relay example`_!
.. code:: python
class Ship(relay.Node):
'''A ship in the Star Wars saga'''
name = graphene.StringField(description='The name of the ship.')
@classmethod
def get_node(cls, id):
return Ship(getShip(id))
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
ships = relay.ConnectionField(Ship, description='The ships used by the faction.')
node = relay.NodeField()
@resolve_only_args
def resolve_ships(self):
return [Ship(s) for s in getShips()]
Django+Relay Schema
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to use graphene with your Django Models check the `Starwars
Django example`_!
.. code:: python
class Ship(DjangoNode):
class Meta:
model = YourDjangoModelHere
# only_fields = ('id', 'name') # Only map this fields from the model
# excluxe_fields ('field_to_excluxe', ) # Exclude mapping this fields from the model
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
node = relay.NodeField()
