GraphQL Server for Laravel

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.

Documentation

The documentation lives at lighthouse-php.com.

If you like reading plain markdown, you can also find the source files in the docs folder.

Get started

If you have an existing Laravel project, all you really need to get up and running is a few steps:

  1. Install via composer require nuwave/lighthouse
  2. Publish the default schema php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nuwave\Lighthouse\LighthouseServiceProvider" --tag=schema
  3. Use something like GraphQL Playground to explore your GraphQL endpoint

Check out the docs to learn more.
