How can I reference an enum type created by SqlAlchemy mapping ?

Hi:

I would like to reuse an Enum type I’ve mapped in one class. Lets say I had the class Patient:

class Patient(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'patients'
    id = Column(CHAR(32), default=generate_uuid, nullable=False, primary_key=True)
    name = Column(Text)
    sex = Column(Enum('MALE', 'FEMALE', name='Sex'), nullable=False)

from graphene import relay
from graphene_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemyObjectType

from app.models.patient import Patient as PatientModel


class Patient(SQLAlchemyObjectType):
    class Meta:
        model = PatientModel
        interfaces = (relay.Node,)

That is perfectly mapped to a Sex graphql type. But if I would like to create a new Patient, How can I reference the Sex enum type generated by graphene-sqlalchemy e.g in an input type ?

class CreatePatient(relay.ClientIDMutation):
    class Input:
        name = graphene.String()
        sex = ???

BTW I’m using latest master branch version.

Hi there! Do we have a better way to achieve this, now? apart from doing if...else if.

Since #78 and #98 are merged, I expect this problem to be fixed. @annshress, I don’t know what you are referring to with if...else if. If your problem persists, please open a new issue, including an example of your Models. 🙂
