📦 Dependencies


📘 How to use

Step 1 - Create your Alchemy QL engine (sync or async):

from alchemyql import AlchemyQLSync, AlchemyQLAsync

sync_engine = AlchemyQLSync()
async_engine = AlchemyQLSync()

Step 2 - Register your sqlalchemy tables:

from your_db import Table

engine.register(
    Table, 
    include_fields=["field_one", "field_two"],
    filter_fields=["field_one"],
    order_fields=["field_one"],
    pagination=True,
    max_limit=100
    ...
)

Step 3 - Build your schema:

engine.build_schema()

Step 4 - Run queries:

query = "query { table { field } }"
db = session_factory() # SQLAlchemy DB session

# Sync Variation
res = sync_engine.execute_query(query=query, db_session=db)

# Async Variation
res = await async_engine.execute_query(query=query, db_session=db)

📘 Supported Options

Registering Table:

Key Type Default Description
graphql_name str None Customise the graphql type name (defaults to sql tablename)
description str None Customise the graphql type descripton
include_fields list[str] None Allow only specific fields to be exposed
exclude_fields list[str] [] Block specific fields from being exposed
filter_fields list[str] [] Allow filtering for specific fields
order_fields list[str] [] Allow ordering for specific fields
default_order dict[str, Order] None Default order to apply to queries
pagination bool False Whether to support pagination
default_limit int None Default number of records that can be returned in 1 query
max_limit int None Maximum number of records that can be returned in 1 query

NOTE: if you do not specify include_fields or exclude_fields it will default expose all fields.

Filtering Options:

Type Supported Filters
int eq, ne, gt, ge, lt, le, in
float eq, ne, gt, ge, lt, le, in
bool eq, ne
str eq, ne, contains, startswith, endswith, in
date eq, ne, gt, ge, lt, le, in
datetime eq, ne, gt, ge, lt, le, in
