Github (pnp-graphql) v0.0.1-beta

A library for making GraphQL API with Python/Django. This is like a flash drive, just how you plug into computer and transfer files.

What is pnp-graphql?

The tiny library is for making GraphQL in a minute. It considers models based approach. For example, Your app has few models like Book, Author, Publication etc. Now this library will enabled a GraphQL API for all those models. You can do query, mutation on API.

Example Query for "Book"

query getBooks {
  bookList(limit: 500, name: "Honey") {
    id
    name
    publication {
      id
      name
    }
    authors {
      id
      name
      address
    }
  }
}

Example Create Mutation for "Book"

mutation CreateNewBook{
  createbook(input:{
    name: "GraphQL the awesomeness of API development",
    authors: [1,7],
    publication: 103
  }) {
    book{
      id
      name
      authors{
        id
        name
      }
      publication {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Update Mutation for "Book"

mutation updateBook{
  updatebook(id:2, input:{
    name: "Hello Honey Bunny??"
    authors: [1,2,3]
  }) {
    book{
      id
      name
      publication{
        name
      }
      authors {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

Example Delete Mutation for "Book"

  deletebook(id: 500){
    book
  }
}
