Add support for GEOS API types-- PointField, PolygonField etc.

[EverWinter23]

Can we add support for fields offered by django.contrib.gis.geos-- GEOS. django-graphql-geojson package comes closest to solving the problem, however, the particular implementation has a major drawback that it converts the whole model into GeoJSON, which causes problems with external interfaces which are defined on non-geometric fields. (May also break internal ones.)

Converting GEOS fields into GeoJSON should more than sufficient for most use cases because it provides you with pre-built interfaces and filters on non-geometric types.

How would one go about adding support for serialization of these fields? Having gone through the codebase-- adding them to converter.py coupled with tests.py should be sufficient or am I missing something?

@EverWinter23 did you get any further with this? What you are suggesting: "adding them to converter.py coupled with tests.py" should be all that is needed. Can you created a PR?

[EverWinter23]

@jkimbo I did, wrote this module here. Will gladly submit a PR. I'm loving graphene; you and the community have done a great job.

Off topic:
I'm having problems with authorization. Especially implementing something like rbac, in REST API, you could easily define roles, what methods are allowed[PUT PATCH GET POST], and who can access what.

Having trouble doing the same with graphene. I don't want to put everything in the resolvers. Is there something I could do, I've heard about graphql-shield, but thats for nodejs. Help would be appreciated.

I will submit the PR within next two weeks.

And then set up the user passes test decorators, then have one for superadmin
There's also a package for Geojson

Looks like https://github.com/EverWinter23/graphene-gis solves this issue (thanks @EverWinter23 ). I've created a PR to add it to the documentation: #902
