Build GraphQL APIs in Go. Fast.

Documentation • Quick Start • 中文

Lighthouse is a batteries-included GraphQL framework for Go. Define your schema, run one command, and get a production-ready API with DataLoaders, authentication, and database migrations.

type User @loader(keys: ["id"]) {
  id: ID!
  name: String! @varchar(length: 100)
  posts: [Post!]! @goField(forceResolver: true)
}

extend type Query {
  me: User! @auth
}

lighthouse generate:schema  # That's it. Models, resolvers, dataloaders generated.

# Install
go install github.com/light-speak/lighthouse@latest

# Create project
lighthouse generate:init --module github.com/you/myapp --models user,post
cd myapp

# Configure .env, then run
go run . app:start

Open http://localhost:8080 → GraphQL Playground ready.
