How to use Graphene GraphQL framework with Django REST Framework authentication

Question

I got some REST API endpoints in Django and I\'d like to use the same authentication for Graphene. The documentation does not provide any guidance.

Answer 1

Adding some additional steps that I had to take when following this integration:

class RTGraphQLView(GraphQLView):

def parse_body(self, request):
    if type(request) is rest_framework.request.Request:
        return request.data
    return super().parse_body(request)

Graphene was expecting the .body attr but DRF reads it and attaches it to .data before being passed to GraphQLView.
