AbstractTypes

An AbstractType contains fields that can be shared among graphene.ObjectType, graphene.Interface, graphene.InputObjectType or other graphene.AbstractType.

The basics:

• Each AbstractType is a Python class that inherits from graphene.AbstractType.
• Each attribute of the AbstractType represents a field (a graphene.Field or graphene.InputField depending on where it is mounted)

Quick example

In this example UserFields is an AbstractType with a name. User and UserInput are two types that have their own fields plus the ones defined in UserFields.

from graphene import AbstractType, ObjectType, InputObjectType, String


class UserFields(AbstractType):
    name = String()


class User(ObjectType, UserFields):
    pass


class UserInput(InputObjectType, UserFields):
    pass

type User {
  name: String
}

inputtype UserInput {
  name: String
}
