Why command make:graphql:type UserType was not found in laravel/graphql/lighthouse app?

Starting with graphql on laravel site on some tutorials

    php artisan make:graphql:type UserType

   ERROR  There are no commands defined in the "make:graphql" namespace. Did you mean one of these?  

  ⇂ make  
...

In output of

php artisan

I have :

graphql-playground
  graphql-playground:download-assets         Download the newest version of the GraphQLPlayground assets to serve them locally.

Did I miss some packages in installation ?

And do I need to add some custom graphql types into my project ? lessongs/docs I found are contradicting. Typing “graphql:type” in https://lighthouse-php.com/6/getting-started/installation.html I did not find anything. Is “graphql:type” some obsolete option ?

    "laravel/framework": "^9.48.0",
    "mll-lab/laravel-graphql-playground": "^2.6",
    "nuwave/lighthouse": "^6.6",

Solution

There is no command to create graphql schema types with the laravel lighthouse. In order to create a type, on the forder /graphql create a schemaTypes.graphql then write in it the types you want like:

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  email: String!
  created_at: String!
  updated_at: String
}

Later, under you can use the type for mutations or querys like:

type Query {
  users: [User!]!
  user(id: ID!): User
}

Check docs about the basic types of laravel Lighthouse. ps: don't forget to #import all schemas to the main schema.graphql.
