Django Graphql utils

• Protect your endpoint with a Django csrf token
• Ready to use javascript function to run queries client side

Install

pip install graphene graphene_django django-filter
pip install git+https://github.com/synw/django-graphql-utils.git

Installed apps:

"graphene",
"graphene_django",
"graphql_utils",

Urls:

from graphene_django.views import GraphQLView
from graphql_utils.views import TGraphQLView

urlpatterns = [
  # ...
  # this is a normal graphql endpoint:
  url(r'^graphiql', GraphQLView.as_view(graphiql=True)),
  # this is a token protected endpoint:
  url(r'^graphql', TGraphQLView.as_view()),
]

Refer the the Graphene documentation for how to set up the backend schemas

Client side querying

A javascript function to run queries is available: it will automaticly add the token to the request.

Use {% include "graphql_utils/methods.js" %} then:

var q = 'query{mymodel(field1:"name"){field1,field2,field3}}';
function error() {
  console.log("An error has occured");
}
function action(data) {
  console.log("Fetched json data: "+JSON.stringify(data));
}

runQuery(q, action, error, true);
// The last parameter is to set the verbosity of the function, false by default
