Answer 1

If you have an existing Laravel 5.7 project, all you really need is two steps:

1. Install via composer require nuwave/lighthouse
2. Define your schema in graphql/schema.graphql

According to nuwave/lighthouse package you need to php: >= 7.1

Apart from this, you also need to complete the package's requirement in your project
