graphql-adapter 0.0.2

GraphQL Adapter for Python.

GraphQL Adapter

The graphql_adapter module is a Python package that simplifies interactions with GraphQL servers. It abstracts away some of the pain points of using Python with GraphQL by providing a streamlined, asynchronous interface for sending GraphQL queries and mutations.

Installation

pip install graphql-adapter

Usage

The graphql_adapter module exports a single async function graphql_request.

Here's an example of how to use it:

from graphql_adapter import graphql_request

# A simple example query
query = """
query {
  test {
    field1
    field2
  }
}
"""

variables = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}

response = await graphql_request(
    query=query,
    variables=variables,
    graphql_server="http://localhost:4000/graphql",
    query_path="./gql"
)

print(response)

Function Parameters

• query: The name of the GraphQL query or mutation. This should match the name of a .gql file in your query_path directory.
• variables: A dictionary of variables to pass to the GraphQL query or mutation.
• graphql_server: The URL of your GraphQL server.
• headers (optional): A dictionary of headers to include in the request. Default is an empty dictionary.
• query_path (optional): The relative path to the directory containing your .gql files. Default is ./gql.

Return Values

The function will return the data from the GraphQL server's response. This data is processed as follows:

1. If the server returns an error, the function will raise an exception.
2. If the query was a mutation and the data contains a returning field, the function will return the value of the returning field.
3. If the data is a list, the function will return the first item in the list.
4. If the data is a dictionary with only one item, the function will return that item.

Please note that due to the async nature of the function, you should await the function call to get the response.
