> **Please note**: This is not a GraphQL Server implementation, only a UI for testing and exploring your schema. For the server component we recommend [nuwave/lighthouse](https://github.com/nuwave/lighthouse).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require aarab/laravel-graphql-playground

```

If you are using Lumen, register the service provider in `bootstrap/app.php`

```
$app->register(MLL\GraphQLPlayground\GraphQLPlaygroundServiceProvider::class);
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

By default, the playground is reachable at `/graphql-playground`and assumes a running GraphQL endpoint at `/graphql`.

To change the defaults, publish the configuration with the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=graphql-playground-config

```

You will find the configuration file at `config/graphql-playground.php`.

### Lumen

[](#lumen)

If you are using Lumen, copy it into that location manually and load the configuration in your `boostrap/app.php`:

```
$app->configure('graphql-playground');
```

### HTTPS behind proxy

[](#https-behind-proxy)

If your application sits behind a proxy which resolves https, the generated URL for the endpoint might not use `https://`, thus causing the Playground to not work by default. In order to solve this, configure your `TrustProxies` middleware to contain `\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_FOR`in `$headers`.

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

To customize the Playground even further, publish the view:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=graphql-playground-view

```

You can use that for all kinds of customization.

### Change settings of the playground instance

[](#change-settings-of-the-playground-instance)

Add extra settings in the call to `GraphQLPlayground.init` in the published view:

```
GraphQLPlayground.init(document.getElementById('root'), {
  endpoint: "{{ url(config('graphql-playground.endpoint')) }}",
  subscriptionEndpoint: "{{ config('graphql-playground.subscriptionEndpoint') }}",
  // See https://github.com/graphql/graphql-playground#properties for available settings
})
```

### Configure session authentication

[](#configure-session-authentication)

Session based authentication can be used with [Laravel Sanctum](https://laravel.com/docs/sanctum). If you use GraphQL through sessions and CSRF, add the following to the `` in the published view:

```

```

Modify the Playground config:

```
GraphQLPlayground.init(document.getElementById('root'), {
  endpoint: "{{ url(config('graphql-playground.endpoint')) }}",
  subscriptionEndpoint: "{{ config('graphql-playground.subscriptionEndpoint') }}",
+ settings: {
+   'request.credentials': 'same-origin',
+   'request.globalHeaders': {
+     'X-CSRF-TOKEN': document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').content
+   }
+ }
})
```

Make sure your route includes the `web` middleware group in `config/graphql-playground.php`:

```
    'route' => [
        'uri' => '/graphql-playground',
        'name' => 'graphql-playground',
+       'middleware' => ['web']
    ]
```

Local assets
------------

[](#local-assets)

If you want to serve the assets from your own server, you can download them with the command

```
php artisan graphql-playground:download-assets

```

This puts the necessary CSS, JS and Favicon into your `public` directory. If you have the assets downloaded, they will be used instead of the online version from the CDN.

Security
--------

[](#security)

If you do not want to enable the GraphQL playground in production, you can disable it in the config file. The easiest way is to set the environment variable `GRAPHQL_PLAYGROUND_ENABLED=false`.

If you want to protect the route to the GraphQL playground, you can add custom middleware in the config file.
