Ariadne

Ariadne is a Python library for implementing GraphQL servers, inspired by Apollo Server and built with GraphQL-core.

Currently the library already implements enough features to enable developers to build functional GraphQL APIs. It is also being dogfooded internally at number of projects.

Documentation is available here.

Installation

Ariadne can be installed with pip:

pip install ariadne

Quickstart

Following example creates API defining Person type and single query field people returning list of two persons. It also starts local dev server with GraphQL Playground available on the http://127.0.0.1:8888 address.

from ariadne import GraphQLMiddleware

# Define types using Schema Definition Language (https://graphql.org/learn/schema/)
type_defs = """
    type Query {
        people: [Person!]!
    }

    type Person {
        firstName: String
        lastName: String
        age: Int
        fullName: String
    }
"""


# Resolvers are simple python functions
def resolve_people(*_):
    return [
        {"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "age": 21},
        {"firstName": "Bob", "lastName": "Boberson", "age": 24},
    ]


def resolve_person_fullname(person, *_):
    return "%s %s" % (person["firstName"], person["lastName"])


# Map resolver functions to type fields using dict
resolvers = {
    "Query": {"people": resolve_people},
    "Person": {"fullName": resolve_person_fullname},
}


# Create and run dev server that provides api browser
graphql_server = GraphQLMiddleware.make_simple_server(type_defs, resolvers)
graphql_server.serve_forever()  # Visit http://127.0.0.1:8888 to see API browser!
