Chief Tools SDK

Base functionality and helpers used for building Chief Tools.

Keep in mind that this package is not meant to be used standalone, but as a base for building our own Chief Tools, this package is open-sourced for inspiration and to be used as a reference.

Configures

• Authentication through Account Chief (powered by Socialite)
• Configured Sentry client
• Lighthouse GraphQL with base schema and scalars
  • Session protected endpoint /api/graphql/web
  • Session protected (GraphiQL) playground /api/playground
  • Access token protected endpoint /api/graphql (tokens managed by Account Chief)
• Basic API documentation pages for GraphQL endpoint
• Account pages to show profile information and preferences
• Team pages to show team information, preferences and billing
• Redirects to Chief Tools for /contact, /privacy, /terms
• Account Chief webhook handler to be notified when user, team or tokens change
• Login event listener to update the last_login column on the users table
• Health check queue job pinging QUEUE_MONITOR_URL every minute using the default queue (disabled when QUEUE_MONITOR_URL is empty or unset)

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")
}
