Decorators

@login_required

login_required = <function user_passes_test.<locals>.decorator>

As a shortcut, you can use the login_required() decorator:

import graphene
from graphql_jwt.decorators import login_required


class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
    viewer = graphene.Field(UserType)

    @login_required
    def resolve_viewer(self, info, **kwargs):
        return info.context.user
  • If the user isn’t logged in, raise PermissionDenied exception.

  • If the user is logged in, execute the function normally.

@user_passes_test

user_passes_test(test_func, exc=<class 'graphql_jwt.exceptions.PermissionDenied'>)[source]

As a shortcut, you can use the convenient user_passes_test() decorator which raises a PermissionDenied exception when the callable returns False:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

import graphene
from graphql_jwt.decorators import user_passes_test


class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
    users = graphene.List(UserType)

    @user_passes_test(lambda user: user.email.contains("@staff"))
    def resolve_users(self, info, **kwargs):
        return get_user_model().objects.all()

user_passes_test() takes a required argument: a callable that takes a User object and returns True if the user is allowed to perform the action. Note that user_passes_test() does not automatically check that the User is not anonymous.

@permission_required

permission_required(perm)[source]

Decorator to check whether a user has a particular permission.

Just like the has_perm() method, permission names take the form:

<app-label>.<permission-codename>

The decorator may also take an iterable of permissions, in which case the user must have all of the permissions in order to access the resolver or mutation:

import graphene
from graphql_jwt.decorators import permission_required

class UpdateUser(graphene.Mutation):

    class Arguments:
        user_id = graphene.Int()

    @classmethod
    @permission_required("auth.change_user")
    def mutate(cls, root, info, user_id):
        ...

@staff_member_required

staff_member_required = <function user_passes_test.<locals>.decorator>

A resolver or mutation decorated with this function will having the following behavior:

If the user is a staff member (User.is_staff=True), execute the function normally.

Otherwise, the PermissionDenied exception will be raised:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

import graphene
from graphql_jwt.decorators import staff_member_required


class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
    users = graphene.List(UserType)

    @staff_member_required
    def resolve_users(self, info, **kwargs):
        return get_user_model().objects.all()

@superuser_required

superuser_required = <function user_passes_test.<locals>.decorator>

A resolver or mutation decorated with this function will having the following behavior:

If the user is superuser (User.is_superuser=True), execute the function normally.

Otherwise, the PermissionDenied exception will be raised:

import graphene
from graphql_jwt.decorators import superuser_required


class DeleteUser(graphene.Mutation):

    class Arguments:
        user_id = graphene.Int()

    @classmethod
    @superuser_required
    def mutate(cls, root, info, user_id):
        ...
