Features

• ORM-like interface for GraphQL: Use .save(), .delete(), and relationship helpers instead of writing mutations manually.
• Identity map with Pydantic v2 wrap validators: Same entity ID = same Python object reference. Nested objects with IDs are automatically separated into the identity map. Caching integrated at model construction—no separate cache layer needed.
• Smart partial updates: UNSET sentinel marks fields have not been requested or received data from the server. Fields you change get sent in mutations. UNSET is also part of the three-state logic for knowing the difference between unknown and intentionally NULL.
• Type-safe with Pydantic v2: Full runtime validation, IDE autocomplete, and error detection at development time.
• Django-style filtering: Familiar rating100__gte=80 syntax instead of building complex GraphQL filter objects.
• Lazy field population: populate() fetches only missing fields with nested __ syntax (files__path, studio__parent__name). filter_and_populate() and populated_filter_iter() combine filtering with auto-population.
• Streaming iteration: find_iter() provides async generator pagination for large result sets without loading everything into memory.
• Get-or-create: store.get_or_create() upsert pattern for entities.
• Async-first architecture: Built for async/await throughout with native support for concurrent operations.
• Full Stash API coverage: Complete CRUD operations for all entity types, job management, metadata operations, and real-time subscriptions.

Quick Example

from stash_graphql_client import StashContext
from stash_graphql_client.types import Scene, UNSET

    context = StashContext(conn={"Host": "localhost", "Port": 9999})
    client = context.client
    # Find and update a scene
    scene = await client.find_scene("scene-id")
    scene.rating100 = 95
    # scene.details stays UNSET (no data loaded for it, won't be sent)
    await scene.save(client)  # Only sends rating100

    # Django-style filtering via the context's store
    store = context.store
    top_rated = await store.find(Scene, rating100__gte=90)
