Lighthouse is a PHP package that allows you to serve a GraphQL endpoint from your Laravel application. It greatly reduces the boilerplate required to create a schema, it integrates well with any Laravel project, and it's highly customizable giving you full control over your data.
The documentation lives at lighthouse-php.com.
If you like reading plain markdown, you can also find the source files in the docs folder.
If you have an existing Laravel project, all you really need to get up and running is a few steps:
- Install via
composer require nuwave/lighthouse - Publish the default schema
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nuwave\Lighthouse\LighthouseServiceProvider" --tag=schema - Use something like GraphQL Playground to explore your GraphQL endpoint
