使用Lighthouse构建GraphQL API入门教程
项目地址: https://gitcode.com/gh_mirrors/li/lighthouse 还在为REST API的版本管理、过度获取数据、接口冗余而烦恼吗？GraphQL作为新一代API查询语言，正在彻底改变我们构建API的方式。本文将带你从零开始，使用Lighthouse框架在Laravel中构建强大的GraphQL API，让你体验声明式数据查询的革命性优势。
为什么选择GraphQL + Lighthouse？
GraphQL核心优势
| 特性 | REST API | GraphQL |
|---|---|---|
| 数据获取 | 多个端点 | 单个端点 |
| 请求响应 | 固定结构 | 按需获取 |
| 版本管理 | URL版本控制 | 无版本中断 |
| 开发效率 | 前后端耦合 | 前后端分离 |
Lighthouse框架特色
Lighthouse是专为Laravel设计的GraphQL服务器框架，提供：
- 零配置起步：内置默认Schema和解析器
- Eloquent集成：无缝对接Laravel模型系统
- 指令系统：丰富的内置指令简化开发
- 类型安全：完整的GraphQL类型系统支持
环境准备与安装
系统要求
- PHP 8.1+
- Laravel 8.0+ 或 Lumen 8.0+
- Composer
安装步骤
# 创建新的Laravel项目
composer create-project laravel/laravel graphql-api
cd graphql-api
# 安装Lighthouse
composer require nuwave/lighthouse
# 发布默认Schema
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lighthouse-schema
# 生成IDE辅助文件
php artisan lighthouse:ide-helper
目录结构规划
构建第一个GraphQL Schema
基础Schema定义
打开 graphql/schema.graphql 文件，让我们从简单的查询开始：
"A datetime string with format `Y-m-d H:i:s`, e.g. `2018-05-23 13:43:32`."
scalar DateTime @scalar(class: "Nuwave\\Lighthouse\\Schema\\Types\\Scalars\\DateTime")
type Query {
"获取欢迎信息"
hello: String! @field(resolver: "App\\GraphQL\\Queries\\Hello")
"获取当前服务器时间"
currentTime: DateTime!
}
type Mutation {
"创建用户"
createUser(
name: String!
email: String! @rules(apply: ["email"])
password: String! @rules(apply: ["min:6"])
): User @create
}
"用户类型定义"
type User {
id: ID!
name: String!
email: String!
created_at: DateTime!
updated_at: DateTime
}
创建解析器
使用Artisan命令快速生成解析器类：
php artisan lighthouse:query Hello
编辑生成的 app/GraphQL/Queries/Hello.php：
<?php
namespace App\GraphQL\Queries;
final class Hello
{
public function __invoke(): string
{
return '欢迎使用Lighthouse GraphQL API！';
}
}
数据库模型与GraphQL集成
创建用户模型
php artisan make:model User -m
编辑数据库迁移文件：
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('password');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
增强Schema功能
让我们扩展Schema以支持更复杂的操作：
type Query {
# 用户查询
users(
name: String @where(operator: "like")
email: String @where(operator: "like")
): [User!]! @paginate(defaultCount: 10)
user(id: ID @eq): User @find
# 高级查询示例
activeUsers: [User!]! @all(model: "User", scopes: ["active"])
}
type Mutation {
# 用户操作
updateUser(
id: ID!
name: String
email: String @rules(apply: ["email"])
): User @update
deleteUser(id: ID!): User @delete
# 批量操作
createUsers(
users: [CreateUserInput!]!
): [User!]! @create(model: "User")
}
input CreateUserInput {
name: String!
email: String! @rules(apply: ["email"])
password: String! @rules(apply: ["min:6"])
}
实战：完整的用户管理系统
定义数据模型
在User模型中添加GraphQL相关配置：
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
];
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
/**
* 获取GraphQL可查询的字段
*/
public function graphqlFields(): array
{
return [
'id',
'name',
'email',
'created_at',
'updated_at'
];
}
}
实现自定义解析器
创建复杂的业务逻辑解析器：
php artisan lighthouse:query UserStatistics
<?php
namespace App\GraphQL\Queries;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
final class UserStatistics
{
public function __invoke($root, array $args): array
{
return [
'total_users' => User::count(),
'active_today' => User::whereDate('created_at', today())->count(),
'by_month' => $this->getUsersByMonth(),
];
}
private function getUsersByMonth(): array
{
return User::select(
DB::raw('YEAR(created_at) as year'),
DB::raw('MONTH(created_at) as month'),
DB::raw('COUNT(*) as count')
)
->groupBy('year', 'month')
->orderBy('year', 'desc')
->orderBy('month', 'desc')
->get()
->toArray();
}
}
完整的Schema示例
type Query {
# 基础查询
hello: String!
currentTime: DateTime!
# 用户查询
users(
name: String @where(operator: "like")
email: String @where(operator: "like")
created_after: DateTime @where(operator: ">=", key: "created_at")
created_before: DateTime @where(operator: "<=", key: "created_at")
): [User!]! @paginate(defaultCount: 10)
user(id: ID @eq): User @find
# 统计查询
userStatistics: UserStatistics!
@field(resolver: "App\\GraphQL\\Queries\\UserStatistics")
}
type Mutation {
# 用户管理
createUser(input: CreateUserInput! @spread): User! @create
updateUser(id: ID!, input: UpdateUserInput! @spread): User! @update
deleteUser(id: ID!): User! @delete
# 批量操作
bulkCreateUsers(input: [CreateUserInput!]!): [User!]! @create
}
type UserStatistics {
total_users: Int!
active_today: Int!
by_month: [MonthlyStat!]!
}
type MonthlyStat {
year: Int!
month: Int!
count: Int!
}
input CreateUserInput {
name: String! @rules(apply: ["required", "min:2", "max:255"])
email: String! @rules(apply: ["required", "email", "unique:users,email"])
password: String! @rules(apply: ["required", "min:6"])
}
input UpdateUserInput {
name: String @rules(apply: ["min:2", "max:255"])
email: String @rules(apply: ["email", "unique:users,email"])
}
测试与验证
使用GraphiQL进行测试
安装GraphQL开发工具：
composer require mll-lab/laravel-graphiql
访问 /graphiql 即可开始测试：
# 查询示例
query GetUsers {
users(first: 5) {
data {
id
name
email
created_at
}
paginatorInfo {
currentPage
lastPage
total
}
}
userStatistics {
total_users
active_today
by_month {
year
month
count
}
}
}
# 变更示例
mutation CreateNewUser {
createUser(input: {
name: "张三"
email: "zhangsan@example.com"
password: "secret123"
}) {
id
name
email
created_at
}
}
自动化测试
创建GraphQL测试用例：
php artisan make:test GraphQLTest
<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;
use Tests\TestCase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
class GraphQLTest extends TestCase
{
use RefreshDatabase;
public function test_hello_query()
{
$response = $this->graphQL('
query {
hello
}
');
$response->assertJson([
'data' => [
'hello' => '欢迎使用Lighthouse GraphQL API！'
]
]);
}
public function test_create_user_mutation()
{
$response = $this->graphQL('
mutation {
createUser(input: {
name: "测试用户",
email: "test@example.com",
password: "password123"
}) {
id
name
email
}
}
');
$response->assertJson([
'data' => [
'createUser' => [
'name' => '测试用户',
'email' => 'test@example.com'
]
]
]);
$this->assertDatabaseHas('users', [
'email' => 'test@example.com'
]);
}
}
性能优化与最佳实践
查询复杂度控制
type Query {
users: [User!]!
@paginate(defaultCount: 10)
@complexity(limit: 50)
}
type User {
posts: [Post!]!
@hasMany
@complexity(multipliers: ["first", "page"])
}
N+1查询解决方案
Lighthouse内置了DataLoader模式，自动批量处理关联查询：
type User {
posts: [Post!]! @hasMany
comments: [Comment!]! @hasMany
}
# 自动批量加载，避免N+1问题
query {
users {
name
posts { title }
comments { content }
}
}
缓存策略
type Query {
popularPosts: [Post!]!
@all
@cache(maxAge: 3600) # 缓存1小时
user(id: ID!): User
@find
@cacheKey(attr: "id")
}
部署与监控
生产环境配置
// config/lighthouse.php
return [
'route' => [
'prefix' => 'api/graphql',
'middleware' => ['api', 'auth:sanctum'],
],
'cache' => [
'enable' => env('LIGHTHOUSE_CACHE_ENABLE', true),
'ttl' => env('LIGHTHOUSE_CACHE_TTL', 3600),
],
'security' => [
'max_query_complexity' => 100,
'max_query_depth' => 10,
],
];
健康检查端点
type Query {
health: HealthStatus!
}
type HealthStatus {
status: String!
timestamp: DateTime!
database: Boolean!
cache: Boolean!
queue: Boolean!
}
