Big changes from v0.10.x to 1.0. While on the surface a lot of this just looks like shuffling around API, the entire codebase has been rewritten to handle some really great use cases and improved performance.
This has been a community project from the start, we need your help making the upgrade as smooth as possible for everybody! We have done our best to provide backwards compatibility with deprecated APIs.
-
with_context
is no longer needed. Resolvers now always take the context argument. Before:def resolve_xxx(self, args, info): # ...
With 1.0:
def resolve_xxx(self, args, context, info): # ...
-
ObjectType
andInterface
no longer accept theabstract
option in theMeta
. Inheriting fields should be now achieved usingAbstractType
inheritance.Before:
class MyBaseQuery(graphene.ObjectType): my_field = String() class Meta: abstract = True class Query(MyBaseQuery): pass
With 1.0:
class MyBaseQuery(graphene.AbstractType): my_field = String() class Query(MyBaseQuery, graphene.ObjectType): pass
-
The
type_name
option in the Meta in types is nowname
-
Type references no longer work with strings, but with functions.
Before:
class Query(graphene.ObjectType): user = graphene.Field('User') users = graphene.List('User')
With 1.0:
class Query(graphene.ObjectType): user = graphene.Field(lambda: User) users = graphene.List(lambda: User)
Schemas in graphene 1.0
are Immutable
, that means that once you create a graphene.Schema
any
change in their attributes will not have any effect.
The name
argument is removed from the Schema.
The arguments executor
and middlewares
are also removed from the Schema
definition.
You can still use them, but by calling explicitly in the execute
method in graphql
.
# Old way
schema = graphene.Schema(name='My Schema')
schema.query = Query
schema.mutation = Mutation
# New way
schema = graphene.Schema(
query=Query,
mutation=Mutation
)
For implementing an Interface in an ObjectType, you have to add it onto Meta.interfaces
.
Like:
from graphene import Interface, ObjectType, String
class Character(Interface):
name = String()
class Human(Character): # Old way, Human will still be an Interface
pass
class Droid(ObjectType): # New way, you have to specify the ObjectType
class Meta:
interfaces = (Character, )
Mutation fields have changed the way of usage, before if you have the mutation MyMutation
you
only have to reference with graphene.Field(MyMutation)
now it's simply MyMutation.Field()
Example:
from graphene import ObjectType, Mutation, String
class ReverseString(Mutation):
class Input:
input = String(required=True)
reversed = String()
def mutate(self, args, context, info):
reversed = args.get('input')[::-1]
return ReverseString(reversed=reversed)
class Query(ObjectType):
reverse_string = graphene.Field(ReverseString) # Old way, will not include the mutation arguments by default
reverse_string = ReverseString.Field()
Apart from implementing as shown in the previous section, to use the node field you have to specify the node Type.
Example:
from graphene import ObjectType, relay
class Query(ObjectType):
node = relay.NodeField() # Old way, NodeField no longer exists. Use Node.Field
node = relay.Node.Field() # New way
Also, if you wanted to create an ObjectType
that implements Node
, you have to do it
explicity.
The Django integration with Graphene now has an independent package: graphene-django
.
For installing, you have to replace the old graphene[django]
with graphene-django
.
-
As the package is now independent, you now have to import from
graphene_django
. -
DjangoNode no longer exists, please use
relay.Node
instead:from graphene.relay import Node from graphene_django import DjangoObjectType class Droid(DjangoObjectType): class Meta: interfaces = (Node, )
The SQLAlchemy integration with Graphene now has an independent package: graphene-sqlalchemy
.
For installing, you have to replace the old graphene[sqlalchemy]
with graphene-sqlalchemy
.
-
As the package is now independent, you have to import now from
graphene_sqlalchemy
. -
SQLAlchemyNode no longer exists, please use
relay.Node
instead:from graphene.relay import Node from graphene_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemyObjectType class Droid(SQLAlchemyObjectType): class Meta: interfaces = (Node, )
