Ariadne 0.19

March 27, 2023

Ariadne 0.19 is now out!

Ariadne 0.19 is a feature release that brings improvements for GraphQL inputs and enums. It also includes improvements to the Apollo Federation implementation contributed by the community.

Input handling improvements

Ariadne now provides an InputType class which can be used to setup custom Python representation of GraphQL input types and mappings between input's fields and original Python directory with values:

# Store input field's values under custom dict keys
InputType(
    "InputName",
    out_names={
        "isClosed": "is_closed",
        "isActive": "requires_activation",
    },
)

@dataclass
class UserInput:
    name: str
    email: str
    requires_activation: Optional[bool] = None


InputType(
    "UserInput",
    # Logic for converting input's data to Python repr is customizable
    lambda data: UserInput(**data),
    {"isActive": "requires_activation"},
)

Enum handling improvements

Ariadne already provides an EnumType class which can be used to assign custom Python values to GraphQL enums:

class TaskPriority(enum.IntEnum):
    VERY_LOW = 0
    LOW = 1
    STANDARD = 2
    HIGH = 3
    URGENT = 4


EnumType("TaskPriority", TaskPriority)

make_executable_schema now accepts Enums directly and attempts to associate them with their GraphQL counterparts on their name. In above case if there's already an enum in GraphQL schema named TaskPriority, TaskPriority can be passed to schema directly.

EnumType still remains useful in situations when enum's names are different between Python and GraphQL schema, and when enum's Python values are set using dict.

Federation improvements

Our community has contributed few improvements to Ariadne's contrib.federation package, providing utilities for writing Apollo Federation subgraphs.

Thanks to Alexis Rhote's contributions, make_federated_schema now supports convert_names_case just like how make_executable_schema does.

Dan Lepadatu has contributed a support for @interfaceObject directive.

Dan Ring has contributed an improvements to Ariadne's federated schema processing logic, making it more tight and less error prone.

We would also like to give a shout out to Dariusz Kuc for keeping an eye on Ariadne's Federation support, and to Patrick Arminio for contributing template for federalable Ariadne Fast API service.

CHANGELOG

  • Added InputType for setting Python representations of GraphQL Input types
  • Added support for passing Enum types directly to make_executable_schema
  • Added convert_names_case option to make_federated_schema.
  • Added support for the @interfaceObject directive in Apollo Federation.
  • Fixed federation support for directives without surrounding whitespace.
