📘 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

Engine Creation:

Key	Type	Default	Description
max_query_depth	int	None	The maximum depth allowed for nested queries

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
query	bool	True	Whether to allow direct querying of table
include_fields	list[str]	None	Allow only specific fields to be exposed
exclude_fields	list[str]	[]	Block specific fields from being exposed
relationships	list[str]	[]	Relationships to be exposed (target table must be registered aswell)
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.

NOTE: if you specify query=False, then all filtering & ordering & pagination is disabled. This is for the case where a table should only be available via a relationship

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
