Configuration of your entities for GraphQL is done with PHP attributes. There are three attributes and all options for each are covered in this document.
The namespace for attributes is ApiSkeletons\Doctrine\ORM\GraphQL\Attribute
.
It is recommended you alias this namespace in your entities as GraphQL
.
A slightly complicated example:
use ApiSkeletons\Doctrine\GraphQL\Attribute as GraphQL
#[GraphQL\Entity(description: 'Artist data', typeName: 'Artist')]
#[GraphQL\Entity(group: 'admin', description: 'Artist data for admins')]
class Artist
{
#[GraphQL\Field]
#[GraphQL\Field(group: 'admin')]
public $id;
#[GraphQL\Field(description: 'Artist name', excludeCriteria: ['startswith'])]
#[GraphQL\Field(group: 'admin')]
public $name;
#[GraphQL\Association(excludeCriteria: ['contains', 'neq'])]
#[GraphQL\Association(group: 'admin', alias: 'shows')]
public $performances;
}
Use this attribute on entities you want included in your graph. Optional parameters are:
description
- A description of the Entity
.
excludeFilters
- An array of Filters to exclude from available
filters for all fields and associations in the entity. For instance, to
exclude filters that use a like
database query, set the following:
#[GraphQL\Entity(excludeCriteria: ['contains', 'startswith', 'endswith'])]
group
- You may have multiple GraphQL configurations organzied by
group
.
includeFilters
- An array of filters to include from available
filters for all fields and associations in the entity. includeFilters
and excludeFilters
are mutually exclusive.
limit
- A hard limit for all queries on this entity. Use this
to prevent abuse of GraphQL. Defaults to global config limit
.
typeName
- A name to reference the type for GraphQL.
The following parameters are specific to the hydrator used to extract data from Doctrine entities. The hydrator library is doctrine-laminas-hydrator
byValue
- Default is true
. When set to false the hydrator will
extract values by reference. If you have getters and setters for all your
fields then extracting by value will use those. Extracting by reference
will reflect the entities and extract the values from the properties.

By Value and By Reference
Use this attribute on fields (not associations) you want included in your graph. Optional parameters are:
alias
- An alias to use as the GraphQL field name.
description
- A description of the Field
.
excludeFilters
- An array of filters to exclude from available
filters for this field. Combined with excludeFilters
of the entity.
group
- You can have multiple GraphQL configurations organzied by
group
.
includeFilters
- An array of filters to include from available
filters for the field. includeFilters
and excludeFilters
are mutually exclusive.
hydratorStrategy
- A custom hydrator strategy class.
Class must be injected into the HydratorFactory container. See strategies and containers
type
- Override the GraphQL type name for the field.
The custom type must be injected into the TypeContainer
See containers
// Handle a number field as a string
#[GraphQL\Entity]
class Artist
{
#[GraphQL\Field(type: 'customtype')]
private int $number;
}
$driver = new Driver($this->getEntityManager());
$driver->get(TypeContainer::class)->set('customtype', fn() => Type::string());
Used on any type of association including one to one, one to many, many to one, etc. Associations which are to one types will just include the entity they are associated with. Associations of the to many variety will become connections.
alias
- An alias to use as the GraphQL field name.
description
- A description of the Association
.
excludeFilters
- An array of criteria to exclude from available
filters for the association. Entity level excludeFilters
are applied to
associations. For instance, to exclude filters that use a like
database
query, set the following:
#[GraphQL\Association(excludeCriteria: ['contains', 'startswith', 'endswith'])]
criteriaEventName
- An event to fire when resolving this collection.
Additional filters can be added to the criteria. An example of this use is for
associations with soft deletes.
group
- You can have multiple GraphQL configurations organzied by
group
.
includeFilters
- An array of filters to include from available
filters for all fields in the association. includeFilters
and excludeFilters
are mutually exclusive.
limit
- A limit for subqueries. This value overrides the Entity configured
limit.
hydratorStrategy
- A custom hydrator strategy class.
Class must be injected into the HydratorFactory container. See containers
