Graphene-django: Examples on adding calculated fields

[skorokithakis]

Exposing fields that are in the db/model works fine, but what about calculated fields? For example, if I want to expose a field called Author.book_count that will obviously not be queriable or editable, how can I do that?

@skorokithakis checkout issue this issue:
https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/issues/101

Import graphene and do:
vote_count = graphene.Int(source='vote_count')

'vote_count' is my property.

Full code:

class QuestionNode(DjangoObjectType):
    vote_count = graphene.Int(source='vote_count')
    class Meta:
        model = Question
        # filter_fields = ['name', 'ingredients']
        interfaces = (relay.Node, )

Ah, thanks! It would be great if this was in the docs.

How to add a new field that its type is a list?

[paymog]

How do I resolve a django object along with an extra, calculated field like below during a query?

class ProjectType(DjangoObjectType):
    class Meta:
        model = Project

    extra_field = graphene.String()


class Query(ObjectType):
    project = graphene.Field(ProjectType,
                             name=graphene.String())

    def resolve_project(self, info, name):

        if id is not None:
            return Project.objects.get(pk=id) # how do I populate `extra_field` here?


        return None

            return ProjectType(**project, extra_field="something")


        return None
