FastAPI has optional support for GraphQL (provided by Starlette directly), using the graphene library.

You can combine normal FastAPI path operations with GraphQL on the same application.

Import and use graphene

GraphQL is implemented with Graphene, you can check Graphene's docs for more details.

Import graphene and define your GraphQL data:

{!./src/graphql/tutorial001.py!}

Add Starlette's GraphQLApp

Then import and add Starlette's GraphQLApp:

{!./src/graphql/tutorial001.py!}

!!! info Here we are using .add_route, that is the way to add a route in Starlette (inherited by FastAPI) without declaring the specific operation (as would be with .get(), .post(), etc).

Check it
