tina4php-graphql
================

[](#tina4php-graphql)

Lightweight GraphQL engine for the Tina4 PHP framework. Built from scratch with no external dependencies — recursive descent parser, depth-first executor, and auto-schema generation from ORM objects.

[![Tests](https://github.com/tina4stack/tina4php-graphql/actions/workflows/tests.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tina4stack/tina4php-graphql/actions/workflows/tests.yml)

Installing
----------

[](#installing)

```
composer require tina4stack/tina4php-graphql
```

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.1

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Simple Queries

[](#simple-queries)

```
$schema = new \Tina4\GraphQLSchema();

$schema->addQuery('hello', [
    'type' => 'String',
    'resolve' => fn() => 'Hello World!',
]);

$schema->addQuery('user', [
    'type' => 'User',
    'args' => ['id' => ['type' => 'ID']],
    'resolve' => fn($root, $args) => ['id' => $args['id'], 'name' => 'Andre'],
]);

$graphql = new \Tina4\GraphQL($schema);
$result = $graphql->execute('{ hello user(id: 1) { name } }');
// $result = ['data' => ['hello' => 'Hello World!', 'user' => ['name' => 'Andre']]]
```

### Auto-Schema from ORM

[](#auto-schema-from-orm)

The killer feature — register ORM classes and get full CRUD automatically:

```
$schema = new \Tina4\GraphQLSchema();
$schema->fromORM(Customer::class);
$schema->fromORM(Order::class);

// Generates automatically:
// Queries:  customer(id), customers(limit, offset)
// Mutations: createCustomer(input), updateCustomer(id, input), deleteCustomer(id)
```

### Tina4 Route Integration

[](#tina4-route-integration)

```
$schema = new \Tina4\GraphQLSchema();
$schema->fromORM(Customer::class);
\Tina4\GraphQLRoute::register($schema);

// POST /graphql with JSON body:
// { "query": "{ customers(limit: 10) { id name email } }" }
```

### Mutations

[](#mutations)

```
$schema->addMutation('createUser', [
    'type' => 'User',
    'args' => ['name' => ['type' => 'String!'], 'email' => ['type' => 'String!']],
    'resolve' => function ($root, $args) {
        $user = new User();
        $user->name = $args['name'];
        $user->email = $args['email'];
        $user->save();
        return ['id' => $user->id, 'name' => $user->name, 'email' => $user->email];
    },
]);
```

### Variables

[](#variables)

```
query GetUser($id: ID!) {
    user(id: $id) {
        name
        email
    }
}
```

```
$result = $graphql->execute($query, ['id' => 42]);
```

### Fragments

[](#fragments)

```
fragment UserFields on User {
    id
    name
    email
}

{
    users {
        ...UserFields
    }
}
```

### HTTP Handler

[](#http-handler)

```
$graphql = new \Tina4\GraphQL($schema);
$jsonResponse = $graphql->handleRequest(file_get_contents('php://input'));
```
