Retrieve authenticated user without supplying ID! when using relay

Hi there! Thanks for the awesome library. I’m having a little problem I cant seem to find any documentation for. With a simple schema like this, I can ensure return the details for the authenticated user:

from django.contrib.auth import models
class UserType(DjangoObjectType):
    class Meta:
         model = models.User

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

    def resolve_user(self, args, context, info):
       if context.user.is_authenticated:
          return context.user

schema = graphene.Schema(query=Query)

So I can do a query like:

query {
  user {
    firstName
    lastName
    email
  }
}

and it returns the details for the currently-logged in user (i.e. me).

Now I’d like to set it up for use with relay, so I do this:

from django.contrib.auth import models
class UserNode(DjangoObjectType):
    class Meta:
         model = models.User
         interfaces = (relay.Node, )

class Query(AbstractType):
    user = relay.Node.Field(UserNode)

    def resolve_user(self, args, context, info):
       if context.user.is_authenticated:
          return context.user

Now when I run the same query, I get

 `"Field \"user\" argument \"id\" of type \"ID!\" is required but not provided.",`

Is there any way to avoid having to supply relay ID? Am I right in thinking overriding get_node will not help much, since id is a required argument?

Thanks @BossGrand, This tripped me up for a while trying to access and filter django object id’s using relay.

It would be great if the documentation was updated to show using Relay with DjangoFilterConnectionField(Node) for returning (and paginating) a set of results and then graphene.Field(Node) for accessing a single result with access to the underlying database model id.

@JamesRamm

class Query(AbstractType):
    user = relay.Node.Field(UserNode)

should be

import graphene
class Query(AbstractType):
    user = graphene.Field(UserNode)

In general when defining graphene types, you will use graphene.field
