tarxemo-django-graphene-utils 0.2.0

Shared Django Graphene utilities and DTOs for efficient API development

TarXemo Django Graphene Utils

Professional, modular, and high-performance GraphQL utilities for Django.

This package provides a standardized toolkit to accelerate GraphQL API development. It handles the "boring" parts—pagination, filtering, response standardization, and N+1 prevention—so you can focus on building features.

---

✨ Features

• 🚀 Performance-First: Internal field caching and auto_optimize helper for N+1 query prevention.
• 🛠 Modular & Flexible: Clean separation between responses, pagination, and filtering.
• 🧠 Smart & Forgiving: Automatically handles both camelCase and snake_case inputs.
• ✅ Structured Validation: Integrated support for Django ValidationError with standardized field-level error reporting.
• ⚙️ Fully Configurable: Global settings support via Django settings.py.

📦 Installation

pip install tarxemo-django-graphene-utils

📖 Full Usage Guide

1. Standardized Responses

Every API should speak the same language. Use these builders to return consistent metadata to your frontend.

from tarxemo_django_graphene_utils import build_success_response, build_error, build_validation_error

def resolve_my_mutation(root, info, input):
    try:
        # Business logic here...
        return build_success_response("Item created successfully")
    except ValidationError as e:
        # Standardized field-level errors: {"field": "email", "message": "Invalid format"}
        return build_validation_error(e)
    except Exception as e:
        return build_error(str(e), code=9003)

2. High-Performance Data Retrieval

The core utility get_paginated_and_non_paginated_data handles everything from filtering to pagination in one call.

from tarxemo_django_graphene_utils import get_paginated_and_non_paginated_data, BaseFilterInput
import graphene

class MyFilter(BaseFilterInput):
    # Inherits: page_number, items_per_page, search_term, is_paged, is_active, order_by
    category = graphene.String()

def resolve_items(root, info, **kwargs):
    return get_paginated_and_non_paginated_data(
        model_or_queryset=MyModel, # Can also be MyModel.objects.select_related(...)
        filtering_object=kwargs,
        graphene_type=MyModelGrapheneType
    )

3. N+1 Prevention with auto_optimize

Prevent database bottlenecks by automatically applying select_related and prefetch_related based on requested fields.

from tarxemo_django_graphene_utils import auto_optimize

def resolve_list(root, info, **kwargs):
    # Determine requested fields from info or custom list
    requested = ['author', 'author__profile', 'tags']
    
    qs = MyModel.objects.all()
    optimized_qs = auto_optimize(qs, requested)
    
    return build_paged_list(optimized_qs, MyType, **kwargs)

4. Robust Object Mapping

Convert Django Models or Dicts to Graphene types with high-performance caching.

from tarxemo_django_graphene_utils import to_graphene

# Caches field discovery internally—extremely fast for large lists!
graph_obj = to_graphene(model_instance, MyGrapheneType)

5. Common GraphQL Types

Save time by using pre-defined common types:

• BaseType: Includes id (UUID), created_at, updated_at, is_active.
• LocationInput: latitude, longitude, radius.
• DateRangeInput: start_date, end_date.
• SortInput: field, reverse.

⚙️ Configuration

Customize the library behavior in your Django settings.py:

TARXEMO_UTILS_CONFIG = {
    'ITEMS_PER_PAGE': 50,
    'DEFAULT_SUCCESS_MESSAGE': "Done!",
    'DEFAULT_ERROR_MESSAGE': "Oops, something broke.",
    'RESPONSE_CODES': {
        2001: {"id": 2001, "status": True, "code": 700, "message": "Custom Event"},
    }
}
