GraphQLite bundle

Symfony bundle for the thecodingmachine/graphqlite package. It discovers your annotated controllers and types, builds the schema, exposes the /graphql endpoint through a PSR-7 bridge (with optional upload handling), and keeps the Symfony request available as the GraphQL context.

Part of the bundle docs: https://graphqlite.thecodingmachine.io/docs/symfony-bundle

See thecodingmachine/graphqlite.

Requirements

• PHP 8.1+
• Supports:
  • Symfony 6.4/7.0/8.0
  • GraphQLite ^8

Installation

composer require thecodingmachine/graphqlite-bundle

Ensure the bundle is enabled (Symfony Flex does this automatically via config/bundles.php after composer require).

Configure routes

Import the bundle routes to expose /graphql:

# config/routes/graphqlite.yaml
graphqlite_bundle:
  resource: '@GraphQLiteBundle/Resources/config/routes.php'

Configure namespaces

Tell GraphQLite where to look for controllers and types:

# config/packages/graphqlite.yaml
graphqlite:
  namespace:
    controllers: App\\GraphQL\\Controller
    types:
      - App\\GraphQL\\Type
      - App\\Entity

Quickstart

Create a controller with GraphQLite attributes:

<?php
// src/GraphQL/Controller/HelloController.php
namespace App\GraphQL\Controller;

use TheCodingMachine\GraphQLite\Annotations\Query;

final class HelloController
{
    #[Query]
    public function hello(string $name = 'world'): string
    {
        return sprintf('Hello %s', $name);
    }
}

Features

• Auto-discovers controllers and types from configured namespaces and registers GraphQLite services, query providers, type mappers, and middleware through Symfony autoconfiguration
• Ships a /graphql route that converts Symfony requests to PSR-7 and keeps the Symfony request in the GraphQL context
• Passes the Symfony request as context to allow using them in queries/mutations
• Supports multipart uploads when graphql-upload is installed
• Integrates with Symfony Security for #[Logged]/#[Right] checks
• Expose login/logout mutations plus a me query (opt-out)
• Symfony Validator-based user input validation
• Lets you cap introspection, query depth, and query complexity via configuration
• Uses Symfony cache (APCu or PHP files) for schema caching
• Includes a graphqlite:dump-schema console command to export GraphQL SDL

GraphiQL (playground)

The bundle wires Overblog’s GraphiQL bundle if it is installed. See https://github.com/overblog/GraphiQLBundle for enabling the UI alongside the /graphql endpoint.

Development

• Tests: vendor/bin/phpunit
• Static analysis: composer phpstan
