ASGI application

Ariadne provides a GraphQL class that implements a production-ready ASGI application.

Using with an ASGI server

First create an application instance pointing it to the schema to serve:

# in myasgi.py
import os

from ariadne import make_executable_schema
from ariadne.asgi import GraphQL
from mygraphql import type_defs, resolvers

schema = make_executable_schema(type_defs, resolvers)
application = GraphQL(schema)

Then point an ASGI server such as uvicorn at the above instance.

Example using uvicorn:

$ uvicorn myasgi:application

Configuration options

GraphQL takes the same options that graphql does, but accepts extra option specific to it:

keepalive

If given a number of seconds, will send "keepalive" packets to the client in an attempt to prevent the connection from being dropped due to inactivity.

extensions

Extensions to use during query processing.

Can be list of classes extending Extension, or callable that will be called with single argument (HTTP request representation specific to the web stack used) that should return None or list of those.
