Extensions for writing GraphQL schemas with the [graphene-django] library with less boilerplate.
The main features are:
- A new ObjectType `DjangoNode`, which:
- adds convenience methods for managing permissions for both the ObjectType and individual fields.
- adds a hook for adding filtering to both single items and lists returned by the ObjectType.
- adds convenience methods for creating Fields, ListFields, Nodes, and Connections for the ObjectType.
- adds filterset filters automatically to ListFields created for the ObjectType.
- automatically optimizes queries using [graphene-django-query-optimizer].
- A new MutationType `DjangoMutation`, which:
- adds convenience methods for managing permissions.
- adds `create`, `update` operation with serializers and `delete` operations with optional validation hook.
- adds an option for custom model operations.
- makes updates fully partial by default.
- adds better error handling.
- A new ModelSerializer `NestingModelSerializer`, which:
- adds pre and post save handlers for creating or updating related entities from nested serializer fields,
all within a single transaction to ensure atomicity.
- adds better handling of constraint integrity errors by finding `violation_error_message` from the constraint.
- adds `get_or_default` method for finding default values for field validation.
- A new FilterSet `ModelFilterSet`, which:
- changes the default filters for related fields to the custom `IntChoiceFilter` and `IntMultipleChoiceFilter`
filters, which don't make database queries to check if the given primary keys for the filters actually
correspond to existing rows for the database model.
- adds a custom ordering filter automatically to all subclasses, with the default `pk` filter.
- allows adding new ordering filters with the `Meta.order_by` attribute.
- `order_by` fields are converted to enums for better autocompletion in GraphiQL.
- allows combining multiple method filters with the `Meta.combination_methods` attribute.
