Export Schema

[!INFO] The export_schema management command provided here is specifically designed for use with strawberry_django . The default Strawberry export command won’t work with strawberry_django schemas because strawberry_django extends the base functionality of Strawberry to integrate with Django models and queries. This command ensures proper schema export functionality.

The export_schema management command allows you to export a GraphQL schema defined using the strawberry_django library. This command converts the schema definition to GraphQL schema definition language (SDL), which can then be saved to a file or printed to the console.

Usage

To use the export_schema command, you need to specify the schema location(e.g., myapp.schema). Optionally, you can provide a file path to save the schema. If no path is provided, the schema will be printed to the console.

python manage.py export_schema <schema_location> --path <output_path>  

Arguments

• <schema_location> : The location of the schema module. This should be a dot-separated Python path (e.g., myapp.schema). For example, if your schema is located in the schemas directory in the myapp django app, you would use myapp.schemas .

Options

• --path <output_path> : An optional argument specifying the file path where the schema should be saved. If not provided, the schema will be printed to standard output.

Example

Here’s an example of how to use the export_schema command:

python manage.py export_schema myapp.schema --path=output/schema.graphql  

In this example, the schema located at myapp.schema will be exported to the file output/schema.graphql .
