**A framework for serving GraphQL from Laravel**

Lighthouse is a GraphQL framework that integrates with your Laravel application. It takes the best ideas of both and combines them to solve common tasks with ease and offer flexibility when you need it.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

The documentation lives at [lighthouse-php.com](https://lighthouse-php.com).

The site includes the latest docs for each major version of Lighthouse. You can find docs for specific versions by looking at the contents of [/docs/master](/docs/master)at that point in the git history: `https://github.com/nuwave/lighthouse/tree//docs/master`.

Versioning
----------

[](#versioning)

Lighthouse follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

Only the current major version receives new features and bugfixes.

Updating between minor versions will not require changes to PHP code or the GraphQL schema and cause no breaking behavioral changes for consumers of the GraphQL API. However, only code elements marked with `@api` will remain compatible - all other code in Lighthouse is considered internal and is thus subject to change.

Changelog
---------

[](#changelog)

All notable changes to this project are documented in [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md).

Upgrade Guide
-------------

[](#upgrade-guide)

When upgrading between major versions of Lighthouse, consider [`UPGRADE.md`](UPGRADE.md).

Contributing
------------

[](#contributing)

We welcome contributions of any kind, see how in [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md).
