Strawberry GraphQL @ 0.279.0

Released August 19, 2025 at 5:13 PM GMT+00:00

This release changes the strawberry.Maybe type to provide a more consistent and intuitive API for handling optional fields in GraphQL inputs.

Breaking Change: The Maybe type definition has been changed from Union[Some[Union[T, None]], None] to Union[Some[T], None] . This means:

• Maybe[str] now only accepts string values or absent fields (refuses explicit null)
• Maybe[str | None] accepts strings, null, or absent fields (maintains previous behavior)

This provides a cleaner API where if field is not None consistently means “field was provided” for all Maybe fields. A codemod is available to automatically migrate your code: strawberry upgrade maybe-optional

See the breaking changes documentation for migration details.
