Overwrite django choices output in graphene
You can set convert_choices_to_enum
to False in your Graphene-Django model which will leave them as integers.
class FooType(DjangoObjectType):
class Meta:
model = Foo
convert_choices_to_enum = False
There is more information on the setting here.
The code comments say
GraphQL serializes Enum values as strings, however internally Enums can be represented by any kind of type, often integers.
So for your particular case, you're not going to be able to replace the over-the-wire values with integers easily. But it may not matter if the actual value represented by the strings ("A_1") is still an integer internally and on the client end (from the field's description values.)
In general though you can replace the automatically generated field for the field with choices by defining an enum class and adding to the definition of the DjangoObjectType
. Here's an example using the documentation Enum example...
class Episode(graphene.Enum):
NEWHOPE = 4
EMPIRE = 5
JEDI = 6
@property
def description(self):
if self == Episode.NEWHOPE:
return 'New Hope Episode'
return 'Other episode'
which you could then add to your DjangoObjectType
like
class FooType(DjangoObjectType):
score = Episode()
class Meta:
model = Foo
Or if you want to get extra fancy you can generate the Enum field dynamically from your field's choices in Foo._meta.get_field('score').choices
. See graphene_django.converter.convert_django_field_with_choices
