RestQL is a Laravel eloquent-based data resolution package. This package tries to adopt **GraphQL** principles solving only the data that the client requests. RestQL uses your **Laravel** models as an entry point to add queries to then based in the eloquent methods.

**Please see the [documentation](https://github.com/gregorip02/restql/wiki).**

**Why?**
--------

[](#why)

Imagine you have an application that manages authors, these authors can publish articles and those articles can have comments from different authors. You have a web client, for example, that uses **fetch** to consume the data offered by your service and somewhere in your code, you need a list of the **author's names only**.

They wear something like that.

```
fetch('https://laravel.app/api/authors')
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then(({ data }) => console.log(data.authors));
```

So, you have a route like this.

`routes/api.php`

```
