Installation
Start with requiring the package:
composer require chieftools/sdk
Publish the configuration files and optionally the migrations:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=chief-config
# php artisan vendor:publish --tag=chief-migrations
Run the app migrations to create the users table:
php artisan migrate
Add the Chief service to the config/services.php:
<?php return [ 'chief' => [ 'client_id' => env('CHIEF_CLIENT_ID'), 'client_secret' => env('CHIEF_CLIENT_SECRET'), 'webhook_secret' => env('CHIEF_SECRET'), 'base_url' => env('CHIEF_BASE_URL', 'https://account.chief.app'), 'verify' => env('CHIEF_VERIFY', true), 'redirect' => '/login/callback', ], ];
That's all, you should be able to authenticate against Account Chief.
GraphQL API
You will need to create a routes/graphql/schema.graphql in your own project with the following contents:
#import ../../vendor/chieftools/sdk/routes/graphql/schema.graphql
Anything you want to add the the schema you can do thereafter, for example:
#import ../../vendor/chieftools/sdk/routes/graphql/schema.graphql #import ./types/*.graphql #import ./queries/*.graphql
Keep in mind that the User type is already provided so you will need to extend that if you want to append fields.
type OfType implements Entity { id: ID! } extend type User { relation: [OfType!]! @hasMany(type: "paginator") }
