Here are the steps to install the GraphQL package in Laravel 11:
1. Install the `rebing/graphql-laravel` package via Composer:
bash
composer require rebing/graphql-laravel
2. Publish the configuration file:
bash
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rebing\GraphQL\GraphQLServiceProvider"
This will create the `graphql.php` configuration file in your `config` directory.
3. Define your GraphQL types, queries, and mutations in the `app/GraphQL` directory.
4. Configure the types, queries and mutations in the `config/graphql.php` file.
5. Define your GraphQL routes in `routes/graphql.php`.
6. Test your GraphQL API using a tool like GraphiQL which is provided by the `rebing/graphql-laravel` package.
The key steps are installing the GraphQL package, publishing the configuration, defining your schema, configuring the types and queries, and testing the API. Laravel 11 makes it easy to create a full-featured GraphQL API with minimal boilerplate code[2][3][4].
