aiohttp-graphql

Adds GraphQL support to your aiohttp application.

Based on flask-graphql by Syrus Akbary and sanic-graphql by Sergey Porivaev.

Usage

Just use the GraphQLView view from aiohttp_graphql

from aiohttp_graphql import GraphQLView

GraphQLView.attach(app, schema=Schema, graphiql=True)

# Optional, for adding batch query support (used in Apollo-Client)
GraphQLView.attach(app, schema=Schema, batch=True)

This will add a /graphql endpoint to your app (customizable by passing route_path='/mypath' to GraphQLView.attach).

Note: GraphQLView.attach is just a convenience function, and the same functionality can be acheived with

gql_view = GraphQLView(schema=Schema, **kwargs)
app.router.add_route('*', gql_view, name='graphql')

It's worth noting that the the "view function" of GraphQLView is contained in GraphQLView.__call__. So, when you create an instance, that instance is callable with the request object as the sole positional argument. To illustrate:

gql_view = GraphQLView(schema=Schema, **kwargs)
gql_view(request)  # <-- the instance is callable and expects a `aiohttp.web.Request` object.

Supported options

• schema: The GraphQLSchema object that you want the view to execute when it gets a valid request.
• executor: The Executor that you want to use to execute queries. If an AsyncioExecutor instance is provided, performs queries asynchronously within executor’s loop.
• root_value: The root_value you want to provide to executor.execute.
• context: A value to pass as the context to the graphql() function. By default is set to dict with request object at key request.
• pretty: Whether or not you want the response to be pretty printed JSON.
• graphiql: If True, may present GraphiQL when loaded directly from a browser (a useful tool for debugging and exploration).
• graphiql_version: The version of the provided graphiql package.
• graphiql_template: Inject a Jinja template string to customize GraphiQL.
• middleware: Custom middleware for graphql-python.
• batch: Set the GraphQL view as batch (for using in Apollo-Client or [ReactRelayNetworkLayer])
• jinja_env: Sets jinja environment to be used to process GraphiQL template. If Jinja’s async mode is enabled (by enable_async=True), uses Template.render_async instead of Template.render. If environment is not set, fallbacks to simple regex-based renderer.
• max_age: sets the response header Access-Control-Max-Age for preflight requests
• encoder: the encoder to use for responses (sensibly defaults to graphql_server.json_encode)
• error_formatter: the error formatter to use for responses (sensibly defaults to graphql_server.default_format_error)
• enable_async: whether async mode will be enabled.
• backend: the backend to be used to create GraphQLDocument from a string (sensibly defaults to graphql.backend.core.GraphQLCoreBackend).

Testing

Testing is done with pytest.

git clone https://github.com/dfee/aiohttp-graphql
cd aiohttp-graphql
# Create a virtualenv
python3.6 -m venv env && source env/bin/activate  # for example
pip install -e .[test]
pytest

The tests, while modeled after sanic-graphql's tests, have been entirely refactored to take advantage of pytest-asyncio, conform with PEP-8, and increase readability with pytest fixtures. For usage tests, please check them out.
