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 model mapping to Graphene Types. See an example Django implementation

Installation

For instaling graphene, just run this command in your shell

pip install graphene
# Or in case of need Django model support
pip install graphene[django]

Examples

Here is one example for get you started:

class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
    hello = graphene.StringField(description='A typical hello world')
    ping = graphene.StringField(description='Ping someone',
                                to=graphene.Argument(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:

query = '''
    query SayHello {
      hello
      ping(to:'peter')
    }
'''
result = schema.execute(query)
