A framework for serving GraphQL from Laravel

Lighthouse: GraphQL for Laravel

Lighthouse is a powerful GraphQL framework designed specifically for Laravel applications. It seamlessly integrates GraphQL into Laravel, allowing developers to leverage the best features of both technologies to efficiently solve common tasks and adapt to more complex needs.

Key Features

  • Integration with Laravel: Lighthouse is built specifically for Laravel and aligns closely with its architecture.
  • Ease of Use: Simplifies common GraphQL server-side functionalities within a Laravel environment.
  • Flexibility: Offers customizable options to handle more specific requirements or complex scenarios.
  • Documentation and Community Support: Comprehensive documentation available at lighthouse-php.com and robust community support through Stack Overflow and Slack.

Getting Started

Visit the official documentation for detailed instructions on how to integrate and use Lighthouse in your Laravel projects. The documentation is consistently updated with the latest version and historical versions can be accessed by specific git tags.

Community and Contributions

Lighthouse encourages community involvement whether it's participating in discussions on Slack, asking or answering questions on Stack Overflow, or directly contributing to the codebase. Check out the guidelines for contributing in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Versioning and Updates

Lighthouse adheres to Semantic Versioning. Updates between minor versions are backward compatible with the public API (@api marked code), though internal code may change.

Security and Support

For security vulnerabilities, contact Benedikt Franke at benedikt@franke.tech. For general issues or feature suggestions, use GitHub issues or propose changes through pull requests.

Sponsorship

Support the ongoing development of Lighthouse by becoming a sponsor. Details can be found on the sponsors page.

Lighthouse is a robust tool for developers looking to integrate GraphQL with Laravel, providing a blend of simplicity for common tasks and the power to handle more demanding requirements.
