The purpose of this repository is to provide a project template to build a GraphQL API in Python. Its content has been largely inspired by the references below but code has been modified and enriched to provide a more complete API and a more scalable architecture.
The Github Wiki provides detailed design intentions in a step by step tutorial.
This project has been developed on Linux Ubuntu with Python 3.5. It is using the following third party packages. To install them, open a terminal window, change directory to the project folder and execute the following command:
