All types are created inline. This means that to give an object a type, you just need to create an instance of that type. For example:

use GraphQL\Types\GraphQLObjectType;
use GraphQL\Fields\GraphQLTypeField;
use GraphQL\Types\GraphQLInt;
use GraphQL\Types\GraphQLEnum;
use GraphQL\Types\GraphQLEnumValue;
use GraphQL\Types\GraphQLString;

// create enum type
$MyEnumType = new GraphQLEnum(
    "MyEnumType",
    "This is the description of my enum type",
    [
        new GraphQLEnumValue("PossibleValue1"),
        new GraphQLEnumValue("PossibleValue2"),
        new GraphQLEnumValue("PossibleValue3")
    ]
);

// create object type
$MyObjectType = new GraphQLObjectType(
    "MyObjectType",
    "This is the description of my object type",
    function() use(&$MyEnumType){
        return [
            new GraphQLTypeField("myIntField", new GraphQLInt()),
            new GraphQLTypeField("myStringField", new GraphQLString()),
            new GraphQLTypeField("myEnumField", $MyEnumType)
        ];   
    }
);

For more details about each type, just check the corresponding sections.
