A GraphQL interface for Redis Database.

How To Install

pip install gredisql

If you find this project interesting, you can always appreciate it by giving it a Star. :D

A Background of GredisQL

Motivation

1. I was bored, been sick for a while, had to lie on the bed. So I needed to create something.
2. Redis has Web interface ( actually a REST interface), so I urged to build one in GraphQL.
3. There are some pretty amazing GraphQL libraries around python echo system, I wanted to try them.
4. Last but not least, jump into quick coding session, engage and nurture the human mind. LOL

Design Philosophy

1. All the data mutation and query are not separated here by action and most probably all the actions are performed via query operation.
2. Technically all the requests sent to the GraphQL server was in POST, so I was initially okay with the implementation.
3. Strawberry-Graphql is kind of server agnostic so either you can use ASGI or WSGI counterpart.
4. Currently limiting the implementation with WSGI server, but I've plan to adopt ASGI in the journey, to support subscription.
5. Not all Redis commands are found in the implementation, I'll try to cover it in the process.

Inspiration and Tools I used

1. redis==5.0.0 is used to communicate with the Redis database.
2. strawberry-graphql is used to do the heavy lifting. Also, I tried ariadne which is also another cool tool to try with.

Features and Future Plans

1. String Commands.
2. List Commands.
3. Set Commands.

And many more to come in the future iteration.

Quick Starting the GraphQL Server

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from gredisql.core import Server

    server = Server()
    server.run()

You can specify the host, port and debug mode in while instantiating the GraphQL server. Simply write,

if __name__ == "__main__":

    REDIS_HOST = 'redis-4343.c8.us-east-1-4.ec2.cloud.redislabs.com'
    REDIS_PORT = 16292
    REDIS_PASSWORD = 'your-secret-password'

    from gredisql.core import Server

    server = Server(
         REDIS_HOST=REDIS_HOST,
         REDIS_PORT=REDIS_PORT,
         REDIS_PASSWORD=REDIS_PASSWORD
    )
    server.run()

Now navigate to http://localhost:5055/graphql and voilà.
