quiz 0.3.2

Quickstart

A quick ‘n dirty request to GitHub’s new V4 API:

>>> import quiz
>>> query = '''
...   {
...     repository(owner: "octocat", name: "Hello-World") {
...       createdAt
...       description
...     }
...   }
... '''
>>> quiz.execute(query, url='https://api.github.com/graphql',
...              auth=('me', 'password'))
{"repository": ...}

Features

1. Adaptability. Built on top of snug, quiz supports different HTTP clients

   import requests
   result = quiz.execute(query, ..., client=requests.Session())

   as well as async execution (optionally with aiohttp):

   result = await quiz.execute_async(query, ...)

2. Typing. Convert a GraphQL schema into documented python classes:

   >>> schema = quiz.Schema.from_url('https://api.github.com/graphql',
   ...                               auth=('me', 'password'))
   >>> help(schema.Repository)
   class Repository(Node, ProjectOwner, Subscribable, Starrable,
    UniformResourceLocatable, RepositoryInfo, quiz.types.Object)
    |  A repository contains the content for a project.
    |
    |  Method resolution order:
    |      ...
    |
    |  Data descriptors defined here:
    |
    |  assignableUsers
    |      : UserConnection
    |      A list of users that can be assigned to issues in this repo
    |
    |  codeOfConduct
    |      : CodeOfConduct or None
    |      Returns the code of conduct for this repository
    ...

3. GraphQL “ORM”. Write queries as you would with an ORM:

   >>> _ = quiz.SELECTOR
   >>> query = schema.query[
   ...     _
   ...     .repository(owner='octocat', name='Hello-World')[
   ...         _
   ...         .createdAt
   ...         .description
   ...     ]
   ... ]
   >>> str(query)
   query {
     repository(owner: "octocat", name: "Hello-World") {
       createdAt
       description
     }
   }

4. Offline query validation. Use the schema to catch errors quickly:

   >>> schema.query[
   ...     _
   ...     .repository(owner='octocat', name='Hello-World')[
   ...         _
   ...         .createdAt
   ...         .foo
   ...         .description
   ...     ]
   ... ]
   SelectionError: SelectionError on "Query" at path "repository":
   
       SelectionError: SelectionError on "Repository" at path "foo":
   
           NoSuchField: field does not exist

5. Deserialization into python objects. Responses are loaded into the schema’s types. Use . to access fields:

   >>> r = quiz.execute(query, ...)
   >>> r.repository.description
   "My first repository on GitHub!"
   >>> isinstance(r.repository, schema.Repository)
   True

   If you prefer the raw JSON response, you can always do:

   >>> quiz.execute(str(query), ...)
   {"repository": ...}

Installation
