Remark: Although Graphene is pretty cool, do yourself a favor and check the following tutorial instead of this repository. It allows to generate a feature complete GraphQL API from a PostgreSQL database... in minutes (almost). You'll thank me later: Docker-PostgreSQL-PostGraphile

Flask-Graphene-SQLAlchemy

The purpose of this repository is to provide a project template to build a GraphQL API in Python. Its content has been largely inspired by the references below but code has been modified and enriched to provide a more complete API and a more scalable architecture.

Tutorial

The Github Wiki provides detailed design intentions in a step by step tutorial.
