              form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
              editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
              represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
              of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
              separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,

              on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
              subsequently incorporated within the Work.
        
           2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

              Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
        
           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

|    23.0.X      |      *23.0.0*        |

## Quickstart

Build and run the [simple project][simple] in the `examples` folder, which
contains an end-to-end example of using the Dgraph python client. For additional details, follow the
instructions in the project's [README](./examples/simple/README.md).

[simple]: ./examples/simple

## Using a client

### Creating a Client

You can initialize a `DgraphClient` object by passing it a list of
`DgraphClientStub` clients as variadic arguments. Connecting to multiple Dgraph
servers in the same cluster allows for better distribution of workload.

The following code snippet shows just one connection.

```python3
import pydgraph

client_stub = pydgraph.DgraphClientStub('localhost:9080')
client = pydgraph.DgraphClient(client_stub)
```

### Login into a Namespace

If your server has Access Control Lists enabled (Dgraph v1.1 or above), the client must be
logged in for accessing data. Use `login` endpoint:

Calling login will obtain and remember the access and refresh JWT tokens. All subsequent operations
via the logged in client will send along the stored access token.

```python3
client.login("groot", "password")
```

If your server additionally has namespaces (Dgraph v21.03 or above), use the
`login_into_namespace` API.

```python3
client.login_into_namespace("groot", "password", "123")
```

### Connecting To Dgraph Cloud

If you want to connect to Dgraph running on [Dgraph Cloud](https://cloud.dgraph.io) instance, then
get the gRPC endpoint of your cluster that you can find in the
[Settings section](https://cloud.dgraph.io/_/settings) of Dgraph Cloud console and obtain a Client
or Admin API key (created in the [API key tab](https://cloud.dgraph.io/_/settings?tab=api-keys)
of the Setting section). Create the `client_stub` using the gRPC endpoint and the API key:

```python3
client_stub = pydgraph.DgraphClientStub.from_cloud(
    "https://morning-glade.grpc.us-east-1.aws.cloud.dgraph.io:443", "<api-key>")
client = pydgraph.DgraphClient(client_stub)
```

The `DgraphClientStub.from_slash_endpoint()` method has been removed v23.0.
Please use `DgraphClientStub.from_cloud()` instead.

### Altering the Database

To set the schema, create an `Operation` object, set the schema and pass it to
`DgraphClient#alter(Operation)` method.

```python3
schema = 'name: string @index(exact) .'
op = pydgraph.Operation(schema=schema)
client.alter(op)
```

`Operation` contains other fields as well, including `DropAttr` and `DropAll`. `DropAll` is
useful if you wish to discard all the data, and start from a clean slate, without bringing
the instance down. `DropAttr` is used to drop all the data related to a predicate.

```python3
# Drop all data including schema from the Dgraph instance. This is a useful
# for small examples such as this since it puts Dgraph into a clean state.
op = pydgraph.Operation(drop_all=True)
client.alter(op)
```

Indexes can be computed in the background.
You can set the `run_in_background` field of `pydgraph.Operation` to `True`
before passing it to the `Alter` function. You can find more details
[here](https://docs.dgraph.io/master/query-language/#indexes-in-background).

```python3
schema = 'name: string @index(exact) .'
op = pydgraph.Operation(schema=schema, run_in_background=True)
client.alter(op)
```

### Creating a Transaction

To create a transaction, call the `DgraphClient#txn()` method, which returns a
new `Txn` object. This operation incurs no network overhead.

It is good practice to call `Txn#discard()` in a `finally` block after running
the transaction. Calling `Txn#discard()` after `Txn#commit()` is a no-op
and you can call `Txn#discard()` multiple times with no additional side-effects.

```python3
txn = client.txn()
try:
  # Do something here
  # ...
finally:
  txn.discard()
  # ...
```

To create a read-only transaction, call `DgraphClient#txn(read_only=True)`.
Read-only transactions are ideal for transactions which only involve queries.
Mutations and commits are not allowed.

```python3
txn = client.txn(read_only=True)
try:
  # Do some queries here
  # ...
finally:
  txn.discard()
  # ...
```

To create a read-only transaction that executes best-effort queries, call
`DgraphClient#txn(read_only=True, best_effort=True)`. Best-effort queries are
faster than normal queries because they bypass the normal consensus protocol.
For this same reason, best-effort queries cannot guarantee to return the latest
data. Best-effort queries are only supported by read-only transactions.

### Running a Mutation

`Txn#mutate(mu=Mutation)` runs a mutation. It takes in a `Mutation` object,
which provides two main ways to set data: JSON and RDF N-Quad. You can choose
whichever way is convenient.

`Txn#mutate()` provides convenience keyword arguments `set_obj` and `del_obj`
for setting JSON values and `set_nquads` and `del_nquads` for setting N-Quad
values. See examples below for usage.

We define a person object to represent a person and use it in a transaction.

```python3
# Create data.
p = { 'name': 'Alice' }

# Run mutation.
txn.mutate(set_obj=p)

# If you want to use a mutation object, use this instead:
# mu = pydgraph.Mutation(set_json=json.dumps(p).encode('utf8'))
# txn.mutate(mu)

# If you want to use N-Quads, use this instead:
# txn.mutate(set_nquads='_:alice <name> "Alice" .')
```

```python3
# Delete data

query = """query all($a: string)
 {
   all(func: eq(name, $a))
    {
      uid
    }
  }"""
variables = {'$a': 'Bob'}

res = txn.query(query, variables=variables)
ppl = json.loads(res.json)

# For a mutation to delete a node, use this:
txn.mutate(del_obj=person)
```

For a complete example with multiple fields and relationships, look at the
[simple project][simple] in the `examples` folder.

Sometimes, you only want to commit a mutation, without querying anything further.
In such cases, you can set the keyword argument `commit_now=True` to indicate
that the mutation must be immediately committed.

A mutation can be executed using `txn.do_request` as well.

```python3
mutation = txn.create_mutation(set_nquads='_:alice <name> "Alice" .')
request = txn.create_request(mutations=[mutation], commit_now=True)
txn.do_request(request)
```

### Running a Query

You can run a query by calling `Txn#query(string)`. You will need to pass in a
[DQL](https://dgraph.io/docs/query-language/) query string. If you want to pass
an additional dictionary of any variables that you might want to set in the query,
call `Txn#query(string, variables=d)` with the variables dictionary `d`.

The query response contains the `json` field, which returns the JSON response.
Let’s run a query with a variable `$a`, deserialize the result from JSON and
print it out:

```python3
# Run query.
query = """query all($a: string) {
  all(func: eq(name, $a))
  {
    name
  }
}"""
variables = {'$a': 'Alice'}

res = txn.query(query, variables=variables)

# If not doing a mutation in the same transaction, simply use:
# res = client.txn(read_only=True).query(query, variables=variables)

ppl = json.loads(res.json)

# Print results.
print('Number of people named "Alice": {}'.format(len(ppl['all'])))
for person in ppl['all']:
  print(person)
```

This should print:

```console
Number of people named "Alice": 1
Alice
```

You can also use `txn.do_request` function to run the query.

```python3
request = txn.create_request(query=query)
txn.do_request(request)
```

### Query with RDF response

You can get query result as a RDF response by calling `Txn#query(string)` with `resp_format` set
to `RDF`. The response would contain a `rdf` field, which has the RDF encoded result.

**Note:** If you are querying only for `uid` values, use a JSON format response.

```python3
res = txn.query(query, variables=variables, resp_format="RDF")
print(res.rdf)
```

### Running an Upsert: Query + Mutation

The `txn.do_request` function allows you to use upsert blocks. An upsert block
contains one query block and one or more mutation blocks, so it lets you perform
queries and mutations in a single request. Variables defined in the query block
can be used in the mutation blocks using the `uid` and `val` functions
implemented by DQL.

To learn more about upsert blocks, see the
[Upsert Block documentation](https://dgraph.io/docs/mutations/upsert-block/).

```python3
query = """{
  u as var(func: eq(name, "Alice"))
}"""

nquad = """
  uid(u) <name> "Alice" .
  uid(u) <age> "25" .
"""

mutation = txn.create_mutation(set_nquads=nquad)
request = txn.create_request(query=query, mutations=[mutation], commit_now=True)
txn.do_request(request)
```

### Running a Conditional Upsert

The upsert block also allows specifying a conditional mutation block using an `@if` directive.
The mutation is executed only when the specified condition is true. If the condition is false,
the mutation is silently ignored.

See more about Conditional Upserts [here](https://docs.dgraph.io/mutations/#conditional-upsert).

```python3
query = """
  {
    user as var(func: eq(email, "wrong_email@dgraph.io"))

### Committing a Transaction

A transaction can be committed using the `Txn#commit()` method. If your transaction
consist solely of `Txn#query` or `Txn#queryWithVars` calls, and no calls to
`Txn#mutate`, then calling `Txn#commit()` is not necessary.

An error is raised if another transaction(s) modify the same data concurrently that was
modified in the current transaction. It is up to the user to retry transactions
when they fail.

```python3
txn = client.txn()
try:
  # ...
  # Perform any number of queries and mutations
  # ...
  # and finally...
  txn.commit()
except pydgraph.AbortedError:
  # Retry or handle exception.
finally:
  # Clean up. Calling this after txn.commit() is a no-op
  # and hence safe.
  txn.discard()
```

### Cleaning Up Resources

To clean up resources, you have to call `DgraphClientStub#close()` individually for
all the instances of `DgraphClientStub`.

```python3
SERVER_ADDR1 = "localhost:9080"
SERVER_ADDR2 = "localhost:9080"

# Create instances of DgraphClientStub.
stub1 = pydgraph.DgraphClientStub(SERVER_ADDR1)
stub2 = pydgraph.DgraphClientStub(SERVER_ADDR2)

# Create an instance of DgraphClient.
client = pydgraph.DgraphClient(stub1, stub2)

# Use client
...

# Clean up resources by closing all client stubs.
stub1.close()
stub2.close()
```

### Setting Metadata Headers

Metadata headers such as authentication tokens can be set through the metadata of gRPC methods.
Below is an example of how to set a header named "auth-token".

```python3
# The following piece of code shows how one can set metadata with
# auth-token, to allow Alter operation, if the server requires it.
# metadata is a list of arbitrary key-value pairs.
metadata = [("auth-token", "the-auth-token-value")]
dg.alter(op, metadata=metadata)
```

### Setting a timeout

A timeout value representing the number of seconds can be passed to the `login`,
`alter`, `query`, and `mutate` methods using the `timeout` keyword argument.

For example, the following alters the schema with a timeout of ten seconds:
`dg.alter(op, timeout=10)`

### Async methods

The `alter` method in the client has an asynchronous version called
`async_alter`. The async methods return a future. You can directly call the
`result` method on the future. However. The DgraphClient class provides a static
method `handle_alter_future` to handle any possible exception.

```python3
alter_future = self.client.async_alter(pydgraph.Operation(
	schema="name: string @index(term) ."))
response = pydgraph.DgraphClient.handle_alter_future(alter_future)
```

The `query` and `mutate` methods int the `Txn` class also have async versions
called `async_query` and `async_mutation` respectively. These functions work
just like `async_alter`.

You can use the `handle_query_future` and `handle_mutate_future` static methods
in the `Txn` class to retrieve the result. A short example is given below:

```python3
txn = client.txn()
query = "query body here"
future = txn.async_query()
response = pydgraph.Txn.handle_query_future(future)
```

Keep in mind that due to the nature of async calls, the async functions cannot
retry the request if the login is invalid. You will have to check for this error
and retry the login (with the function `retry_login` in both the `Txn` and
`Client` classes). A short example is given below:

```python3
client = DgraphClient(client_stubs) # client_stubs is a list of gRPC stubs.
alter_future = client.async_alter()
try:
    response = alter_future.result()
except Exception as e:
	# You can use this function in the util package to check for JWT
    # expired errors.
    if pydgraph.util.is_jwt_expired(e):
        # retry your request here.
```

## Development

### Setting up environment

There are many ways to set up your local Python environment. We suggest some sane defaults here.

- Use [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) to manage your Python installations.
- Most recent versions of Python should work, but the version of Python officially supported is located in
`.python-version`
- Create a Python virtual environment using `python -m venv .venv`
- Activate virtual environment via `source .venv/bin/activate`

### Build from source

To build and install pydgraph locally, run

```sh
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

If you have made changes to the `pydgraph/proto/api.proto` file, you need need
to regenerate the source files generated by Protocol Buffer tools. To do that,
install the [grpcio-tools][grpcio-tools] library and then run the following
command:

[grpcio-tools]: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/grpcio-tools

```sh
python scripts/protogen.py
```

The generated file `api_pb2_grpc.py` needs to be changed in recent versions of python.
The required change is outlined below as a diff.

```diff
-import api_pb2 as api__pb2
+from . import api_pb2 as api__pb2
```

### Running tests

To run the tests in your local machine, run:

```bash
bash scripts/local-test.sh
```

This script assumes dgraph is located on your path. Dgraph release binaries can
be found [here](https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/releases).
The test script also requires that `docker` and `docker compose` are installed on
your machine.

The script will take care of bringing up a Dgraph cluster and bringing it down
after the tests are executed. The script connects to randomly selected ports for
HTTP and gRPC requests to prevent interference with clusters running on the
default port. Docker and docker-compose need to be installed before running the
script. Refer to the official [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/)
for instructions on how to install those packages.
