Ariadne Extended

Ariadne comes with a few contrib modules to support integration with Django. This module acts as an additional Django contrib module to reduce some of the boilerplate when integrating with Django.

It copies and follows some of the conventions defined in Django Rest Framework, effort will be made to provide API compatibility with certain DRF extension modules that are relevant.

The overall goal is to provide often re-used modules and GrpahQL schema, so one doesn't have to re-create them per project.

Supported DRF modules

• Pagination classes
• Permissions classes
• Serializer classes ( may not removed and made generic )
• Throttling
• django-filters filter backend

ariadne_extended.graph

auto schema, resolver and types loader

Searches for types and resolvers modules as well as the schema.graphql defined within every installed Django application.

Once found they can be used to build the final schema and resolver solution for your ariadne application.

ariadne_extended.payload

Schema, types and resolvers for the graphql Payload interface.

Currently the FieldErrors are highly coupled to Django rest framework field validation exceptions.

ariadne_extended.cursor_pagination

Rename to relay_pagination maybe?

Contains the PageInfo graphql type and Connection interface for utilizing cursor based pagination.

TODO: Should we provide a input type for cursor pagination instead of just copying pagination args info paginate-able list fields??

ariadne_extended.filters

Filter backend interface to pass filter arguments to django-filter

ariadne_extended.resolvers

ABC for Class Based Resolvers and model resolvers that utilize DRF serializers for saving data. This is likely to change in the future.

ariadne_extended.uuid

DRF UUID field scalar for use with models that may use a UUID as their primary key, or other UUID fields.

Checklist

• Get rid of dependency on DRF?
• Investigate the need for a serializer ( nested data reliance? )
• Organize code into multiple Django apps to select desired componentry
• Documentation and examples
• Better support of lists of enums when used with django-filters ( currently expects comma sep list string, not a list of enums from input field resolver )
• License and make public
• Deployment automation
