django-netbox-graphql

Netbox-Graphql is a simple Django app which provides a GraphQL API for Netbox. This module is dockerized and development of it is still in progress. Netbox's circuit module with all it's models are covered. For this part of app you can CRUD operations.

Available Models for CRUD

• CIRCUITS

  • Provider
  • Circuit
  • CircuitType
  • CircuitTermination

• DCIM

  • Region
  • Site

• TENANCY

  • TenantGroup
  • Tenant

• IPAM

  • Role
  • VlanGroup
  • VLAN
  • VRF
  • RIR
  • Aggregate
  • Prefix

• VIRTUALIZATION

  • ClusterType
  • ClusterGroup
  • Cluster
  • VirtualMachine

Build package (optional)

This module relies on modules

Quick start

1. Install module:

   pip install django-netbox-graphql #from external storage, not yet deployed
   or
   pip install dist/django-netbox-graphql-0.0.x.tar.gz
   

2. Add below modules to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...
   'graphene_django',
   'netbox_graphql',
   ]
   

3. Add graphene settings to netbox/setting.py:

   GRAPHIQL_ENABLED = True # optional, by default True, set False to disable it
   GRAPHENE = {
       'SCHEMA' : 'netbox_graphql.schema.schema', #points to the netbox-graphql schema variable in schema.py
       'SCHEMA_INDENT': 2, #defines the indentation space in the output
   }
   

4. Include the polls URLconf in your project netbox/urls.py like this:

   url(r'^graphql', include('netbox_graphql.urls')),
   

5. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/graphql to fetch records with graphql:

   curl  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
    -H "Authorization: Token <netbox_token>"\
     -XPOST -d '{"query":"{ circuitTypes { edges { node { id name slug } } } }"}' http://localhost:8000/graphql
   

Visit http://localhost:8000/user/api-tokens/ to generate token

Graphql CRUD examples

Create:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
 -H "Authorization: Token <netbox_token>"\
  -XPOST -d '{"query":"mutation { newCircuitType(input: {name: \"Type1\", slug: \"type1\"}) { circuitType { id name slug } } }"}' http://localhost:8000/graphql

{"data":{"newCircuitType":{"circuitType":{"id":"Q2lyY3VpdFR5cGVOb2RlOjI1","name":"Type1","slug":"type1"}}}}

Read:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
 -H "Authorization: Token <netbox_token>"\
  -XPOST -d '{"query":"{ circuitTypes(id: \"<circuit-type-id>\") { edges { node { id name slug } } } }"}' http://localhost:8000/graphql

{"data":{"circuitTypes":{"edges":[{"node":{"id":"Q2lyY3VpdFR5cGVOb2RlOjI0","name":"Type","slug":"type"}}]}}}

Update:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
 -H "Authorization: Token <netbox_token>"\
  -XPOST -d '{"query":"mutation { updateCircuitType(input: {id:\"<circuit-type-id>\", name: \"TypeX\", slug: \"typeX\"}) { circuitType { slug name slug } } }"}' http://localhost:8000/graphql

{"data":{"updateCircuitType":{"circuitType":{"id":"Q2lyY3VpdFR5cGVOb2RlOjI0","name":"TypeX","slug":"typeX"}}}}

Delete:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json'\
 -H "Authorization: Token <netbox_token>"\
  -XPOST -d '{"query":"mutation { deleteCircuitType(input: {id:\"<circuit-type-id>\"}) { circuitType { name slug } } }"}' http://localhost:8000/graphql

{"data":{"deleteCircuitType":{"circuitType":{"name":"TypeX","slug":"typeX"}}}}

Graphql editor for writing queries

1. You should have installed graphene_django:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
   ...
   'graphene_django',
   ]
   

2. Create url for graphql client with adding new link in urls.py

   url(r'^graphql/client', GraphQLView.as_view(graphiql=True)),
   

3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/graphql/client

Packaging and deploying to pypi.python.org

The simplest way to make package and deploy it is with using twine:

pip install twine # install twine
python setup.py sdist # build django-netbox-graphql-X.X.X.tar.gz
twine upload dist/django-netbox-graphql-X.X.X.tar.gz

Tests

Run unit tests:

docker-compose run netbox ./manage.py test # runs all tests
docker-compose run netbox ./manage.py test netbox_graphql/ # runs only netbox_graphql module tests

# At the end, you can stop any running service and cleanup as follows:
docker-compose down
