Graphene is a Python library for building GraphQL schemas/types fast and easily.
- **Easy to use:** Graphene helps you use GraphQL in Python without effort.
- **Relay:** Graphene has builtin support for Relay
- **Django:** Automatic *Django model* mapping to Graphene Types. Check a fully working [Django](http://github.com/graphql-python/swapi-graphene) implementation
*But, what is supported in this Python version?* **Everything**: Interfaces, ObjectTypes, Mutations and Relay (Nodes, Connections and Mutations).
## Installation
For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell
```bash
pip install graphene
# Or in case of need Django model support
pip install graphene[django]
```
## Examples
Here is one example for get you started:
```python
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
hello = graphene.String(description='A typical hello world')
ping = graphene.String(description='Ping someone',
to=graphene.String())
def resolve_hello(self, args, info):
return 'World'
def resolve_ping(self, args, info):
return 'Pinging {}'.format(args.get('to'))
schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)
```
Then Querying `graphene.Schema` is as simple as:
```python
query = '''
query SayHello {
hello
ping(to:"peter")
}
'''
result = schema.execute(query)
```

* **Django model mapping**: [Starwars Django example](examples/starwars_django)
