Graphene-django: Cannot query foreign key field in GraphQLView

[jsharp83]

I have a problem about querying foreign key field.
All fields I can retrieve except foreign key

// models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from users.models import UserProfile

class Video(models.Model):
    title = models.TextField()
    description = models.TextField()
    author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)      

// schema.py
class VideoType(DjangoObjectType):
    class Meta:
        model = Video



md5-dbde95958aa6aab91b8d33a7def1be79



query {
  home_videos {
    title
    description
    author
  }
}

Following is error message in GraphQLView.

Cannot query field author on type VideoType

[BossGrand]

The reason author is not showing up is because you don't have an AuthorType defined.

if you only want the id and do not want to define an AuthorType you can probably run the following query

query {
  home_videos {
    title
    description
    authorId
  }

The real field that django places on the db model is {{model_name}}_id
It then uses magic to place the author object onto your video model at runtime

Graphene Django also does some magic where if you have a foreign key it will look for a DjangoObjectType that refrences the model and automatically map it to the foreignkey relationship.

So if you add this to your schema

class UserType(DjangoObjectType):
    class Meta:
        model = User

your query will still break but with a different error. You will now need to ask for fields on author. So the following query should work

query {
  home_videos {
    title
    description
    author{
         id
        //other user fields
    }
  }
}

I'm going to close this issue, please reopen if this doesn't work
