GraphQL with Laravel and Vue

GraphQL is often looked at as the successor to REST APIs. It provides a powerful query language and allows you to make requests for exactly the information you want, nothing more and nothing less.

Many services now offer GraphQL APIs making it easier for users to interact with their data. With its powerful type system, the syntax is intuitive, and error messages provide helpful feedback. In this series, we’ll take a look at using GraphQL within the Laravel and Vue ecosystem. We’ll build out the obligatory blog as a full-stack GraphQL application. In the backend we’ll make use of the popular lighthouse package which allows us to define our GraphQL schema. In the frontend, we’ll leverage Vue Apollo to allow us to communicate with the backend and display the data in the browser.
