How to Mock a GraphQL Query Type in Python
Create a lightweight mock of a GraphQL Query type to simulate repository lookups without a server.
import json
class Query:
def __init__(self):
self.starred_repos = [
{"id": 1, "name": "graphql", "owner": "graphql"}
]
def repository(self, name):
if name == "graphql":
return {"id": 1, "name": "graphql", "stargazerCount": 85000}
return None

id: int
name: str
price: float
