Graphene

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 conversion. See an example Django implementation

Installation

For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell

pip install graphene

Usage

Example code of a GraphQL schema using Graphene:

Schema definition

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:

query = '''
    query HeroNameQuery {
      hero {
        name
      }
    }
'''
result = schema.execute(query)

Relay Schema

Graphene also supports Relay, check the Starwars Relay example!

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!

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()
