From Europe’s Official Laravel Conference https://laracon.eu In this talk we're going to look at what a GraphQL API is and how we can set one up with Laravel. We'll be making use of Lighthouse, a framework for serving GraphQL from Laravel. We'll be focussing on the server-side part of GraphQL where we'll be going over the GraphQL Schema Definition Language, defining Types and Fields, how you can build Queries & Mutations and how to execute them, and finally how to test your GraphQL API. We'll check in on the advantages and disadvantages of GraphQL. At the end of the talk you'll have a basic understanding of how to get started with writing a GraphQL API.
