graphanno 1.3.1

Create graphene ObjectType based on the type annotations.

graphanno

Use Python 3.6+ type annotations to generate the graphene ObjectType classes.

Installation

You can install the project via pip by running:

pip install graphanno

Installation from source:

python setup.py install

Usage

The @graphanno.graph_annotations decorator works only with classes that contains type annotations. If there are no type annotations within the decorator target, NoAnnotationsError exception is raised. Arguments without annotations will be ignored.

To create the graphene.ObjectType object, you can just decorate your class with @graphanno.graph_annotations.

It is recommended to subclass graphanno.ObjectType to provide hints for IDE's. This is not mandatory, the @graphanno.graph_annotations will replace your decorated class with the ObjectType subclass anyway.

import graphene
import graphanno

# the class below...
@graphanno.graph_annotations
class Graphanno(graphanno.ObjectType):
    value: str

# ... is equivalent to:
class Graphene(graphene.ObjectType):
    value = graphene.String()

If you still need your class with type annotations, set __model__ variable to annotated class within the decorated one:

import graphene
import graphanno

class Annotated: # this class will be still available later
    value: str

# the class below...
@graphanno.graph_annotations
class Graphanno(graphanno.ObjectType): 
    """
    This class can inherit from graphene.ObjectType already, 
    but it won't change the @graph_annotations behavior.
    """
    __model__ = Annotated

# ... is equivalent to:
class Graphene(graphene.ObjectType):
    value = graphene.String()

If another class with the same name will be decorated, the SchemaClashError exception will be raised.

Additional parameters

• __excluded_fields__ (tuple): names of the fields that will be excluded from schema. Private attributes are always excluded.
• __ignore_unsupported__ (bool): do not raise an exception for unsupported annotations. Default False.

Supported annotations

The class decorated with @graph_annotations can use type annotations listed below.

• str
• int
• float
• bool
• datetime.datetime
• datetime.date
• datetime.time
• typing.List
• custom classes with supported type annotations

Using unsupported annotations will raise the UnsupportedAnnotationError exception. To ignore this exception set __ignore_unsupported__ to True in the decorated class.
