Generate GraphQL schema from existing Laravel models/database

Latest Version on Packagist GitHub Tests Action Status GitHub Code Style Action Status Total Downloads

This package will generate a GraphQL schema from your existing Laravel models and database. It reads through the existing models, relationships, and database to generate a GraphQL schema and optionally queries for each model. You can also specify additional models such as vendor/packages models to be included.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require always-open/laravel-graphql-schema-generator

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-graphql-schema-generator-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'custom_type_mappings' => [
         'timestamp' => 'DateTime',
         'datetime'  => 'DateTime',
         'date'      => 'Date',
    ],

    'custom_scalar_definitions' => [
        'scalar Date @scalar(class: "Nuwave\\Lighthouse\\Schema\\Types\\Scalars\\Date")',
        'scalar DateTime @scalar(class: "Nuwave\\Lighthouse\\Schema\\Types\\Scalars\\DateTime")',
    ],

    'model_path' => app_path('Models'),

    'model_stub' => __DIR__ . '/../stubs/graphql_schema.stub',

    'schema_path' => app_path('../graphql'),
];

Usage

Basic/default usage

This command will output the GraphQL schema to the schema_path specified in the config file. It will only generate the schema file and will only parse the models in the model_path specified in the config file.

php artisan laravel-graphql-generator:create-schema

Outputting queries

To also add queries to the schema, pass the --include-queries flag. This will generate a GraphQL schema file and query files for each model in the model_path specified in the config file.

php artisan laravel-graphql-generator:create-schema --include-queries

Adding additional models

If there are additional models that exist outside of the model_path that you want to include, you can pass the --additional-models flag. This is very useful if you have vendor/package models that you want to include.

php artisan laravel-graphql-generator:create-schema --additional-models="\\Spatie\\Tags\\Tag"

You can also pass in a comma separated list of models to include.

php artisan laravel-graphql-generator:create-schema --additional-models="\\Spatie\\Tags\\Tag","\\Spatie\\Activitylog\\Models\\Activity"

Adding additional query properties

The default queries will be created using primary keys and unique indices. If you want to add additional properties to search you can pass them in using the --additional-query-properties flag. It will be applied to every model that has the specified property.

This command could add queries using the properties key and name. Support for multiple fields isn't supported by the pass in as of this version.

php artisan laravel-graphql-generator:create-schema --additional-query-properties=key,name
