Hi there! I just picked up PHP, since I have to use it for a school project, and am running into a bit of trouble with some frameworks. I am required to use the following stack on the backend (frontend will be a React Native application): Strapi (Used so we don't have to make a web portal) Laravel (Don't think this one is too relevant for the question) Lighthouse (For my GraphQL) And a postgres database This entire stack is new to me, and I feel like they're non cooperative. We are required to use Strapi so the company we are working for has an easy time inserting data (since Strapi comes with a beautiful UI etc) What my plan was: Convert my ERD diagram to collections in Strapi using their UI, and then recreate this with Lighthouse so I can create an actual API for it. The trouble I'm running into is that Strapi creates a database structure that is totally incompatible with what I have designed and I'm just really lost on how to proceed.
