Queries

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from aiogqlc import GraphQLClient

endpoint = "https://swapi-graphql.netlify.app/graphql"

document = """
    query {
        allFilms {
            films {
                title
            }
        }
    }
"""


async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = GraphQLClient(endpoint, session=session)
        response = await client.execute(document)
        print(await response.json())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Mutations

import aiohttp
from aiogqlc import GraphQLClient

document = """
    mutation ($userId: ID!) {
        deleteUser (id: $userId) {
            id
        }
    }
"""

variables = {
    "userId": "42",
}


async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = GraphQLClient("https://example.com/graphql/", session=session)
        response = await client.execute(document, variables=variables)
        print(await response.json())

File uploads

import aiohttp
from aiogqlc import GraphQLClient

document = """
    mutation($file: Upload!) {
        uploadFile(file: $file) {
            size
        }
    }
"""

variables = {
    "file": open("test.txt", "rb")
}


async def foo():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = GraphQLClient("https://example.com/graphql/", session=session)
        response = await client.execute(document, variables=variables)
        print(await response.json())

Subscriptions

import aiohttp
from aiogqlc import GraphQLClient

document = """
    subscription($postId: ID!) {
        likeAdded(postId: $postId)
    }
"""

variables = {
    "postId": "42"
}


async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        client = GraphQLClient("https://example.com/graphql/", session=session)

        async with client.connect() as connection:
            async for payload in connection.subscribe(document, variables=variables):
                print(payload)
