curl -X GET http://laravel.loc/v1/article/1 -d '{"query": "query { echo(message: "Hello World") }" }'

I was debating on using Laravel-JSON:API as my JSON:API server implementation until I found this amazing api-generator.

https://github.com/Folkloreatelier/laravel-graphql is no longer maintained

If we are talking about GraphQL and Laravel, I find Lighthouse-PHP as the best GraphQL Server implementation out there for Laravel.

with just a schema.graphql, Lighthouse-PHP will do it magic, just like a oas/openapi.yaml, api-generator will do it magic.

So here is my proposal, let this generator generate the schema.graphql and let Lighthouse do the rest for you.

Hi @Parables I've tried to implement graph-ql format into api-generator, but unfortunately there is no way of making bindings between objects based on graph-ql type model.

PS repo has been archived

@arthurkushman, I have this obsession with generators. I would like to attempt this.

I need two things from you:

1. your promise to review, and merge my PRs.
2. Help to get started. I have managed to create the oas/openapi.json file. generated the codes for the Modules/V1 directory but I can't use the generated codes. How do I add the generated routes to my RouteServiceProvider? The README.md is missing that info and I have tried everything possible

Hi @Parables, You can't find the answer in README.md, because it is added automatically by Laravel-Modules. There is no need of caring RouteServiceProvider in any way because it also has been registered for u in Modules/V{K}/Providers/V{K}ServiceProvider

public function register()
{
    $this->app->register(RouteServiceProvider::class);
}

All the other registration etc done by generator with special scripts in composer.json

Make sure that u have been added into composer.json:

{
  "autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
      "App\\": "app/",
      "Modules\\": "Modules/"
    }
  }
}

Try to execute command (it have to be executed before, just in case):

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nwidart\Modules\LaravelModulesServiceProvider"

Run once again:

composer dump-autoload

[Parables]

In my case, the Modules/V{K}/Providers/ directory was empty. I had already added "Modules\\": "Modules/" to my composer.json file

While dozing out, after countless efforts to understand why this is happening, I think I did run

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nwidart\Modules\LaravelModulesServiceProvider"
composer dump-autoload

And that did the magic 🪄

Woke up this morning to see these new files:

Modules/V1/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php
Modules/V1/Providers/V1ServiceProvider.php

About the GraphQL support, I am determined to find a solution to it so be checking your emails for my PRs very soon. Thanks so much for creating this amazing package. Its the best so far among the rest
