Attaching Users to Links
With sign in power, you can now create your own links, posted by
you. To make it possible, let’s integrate the Links and Users
models:
In the Link models file, import the Django settings:
And add the posted_by field at the very end:
Run the Django commands to reflect the changes in the
database:
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
In the CreateLink mutation, return the User in the new created
field:
.../graphql-python/hackernews/links/schema.py
from users.schema import UserType
class CreateLink(graphene.Mutation):

id = graphene.Int()
url = graphene.String()
description = graphene.String()
posted_by = graphene.Field(UserType)
class Arguments:
url = graphene.String()
description = graphene.String()
def mutate(self, info, url, description):
user = info.context.user or None
link = Link(
url=url,
description=description,
posted_by=user,
)
link.save()
return CreateLink(
id=link.id,
url=link.url,
description=link.description,
posted_by=link.posted_by,
)
To test it, send a mutation to the server (remember to use the
token!):

Neat!
Adding Votes
One of the Hackernews’ features is to vote on links, making ones
more popular than others. To create this, you’ll need to create a
Vote model and a CreateVote mutation. Let’s begin:
Add the Vote model in links/models.py:
.../graphql-python/hackernews/links/models.py
class Vote(models.Model):
user =
models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.CASCADE)
link = models.ForeignKey('links.Link',
related_name='votes', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
And reflect the changes in the database:
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
Finally, add a new mutation for voting:
.../graphql-python/hackernews/links/schema.py
from links.models import Link, Vote
class CreateVote(graphene.Mutation):
user = graphene.Field(UserType)

link = graphene.Field(LinkType)
class Arguments:
link_id = graphene.Int()
def mutate(self, info, link_id):
user = info.context.user
if user.is_anonymous:
raise Exception('You must be logged
to vote!')
link =
Link.objects.filter(id=link_id).first()
if not link:
raise Exception('Invalid Link!')
Vote.objects.create(
user=user,
link=link,
)
return CreateVote(user=user, link=link)
class Mutation(graphene.ObjectType):
create_link = CreateLink.Field()
create_vote = CreateVote.Field()
Voting time! Try to vote for the first link:

Relating Links and Votes
You can already vote, but you can’t see it! A solution for this is
being able to get a list of all the votes and a list of votes from
each link. Follow the next steps to accomplish it:
Add the VoteType and a votes field to get all votes:
And add the votes field and the resolve_links method:
.../graphql-python/hackernews/links/schema.py
class Query(graphene.ObjectType):
links = graphene.List(LinkType)
votes = graphene.List(VoteType)
def resolve_links(self, info, **kwargs):
return Link.objects.all()
def resolve_votes(self, info, **kwargs):
return Vote.objects.all()
Awesome! On Insomnia, try to fetch the list of votes:

To close this chapter, make a query for all the links and see how
smoothly the votes become available:
Yay!
