Getting started	A Quick guide to Graphene

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 (0.10+)

Project setup

pip install graphene

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".

import graphene

class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
    hello = graphene.String()

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

schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)

Querying

Then, we can start querying our schema:

result = schema.execute('{ hello }')
print result.data['hello'] # "World"

Congrats! You got your first graphene schema working!
