GraphQL v16

[glen-84]

Feature description

Support for GraphQL v16. I'm aware of the exploration in #764, but I wanted to open this for tracking purposes.

I'm currently only using graphql-parse-resolve-info.

Motivating example

Latest features, etc.

Breaking changes

Dropping support for Node 8 and Node 10, but these are EOL anyway.

This is blocking file uploads on Postgraphile. When I try to install graphql-upload (as per the file upload example in Postgraphile) I get:

npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Conflicting peer dependency: graphql@16.7.1
npm ERR! node_modules/graphql
npm ERR!   peer graphql@"^16.3.0" from graphql-upload@16.0.2
npm ERR!   node_modules/graphql-upload
npm ERR!     graphql-upload@"*" from the root project

I personally am of the opinion that GraphQL is not a good fit for file uploads in general. That said, try using an older version of that module.

I agree.

However, 95% of my API is non-file upload (and thus makes sense for Postgraphile), and all of my user/permission logic is baked-in to Postgres/Postgraphile ... so it just doesn't make sense to have a separate REST endpoint just for the file uploads.

That said, try using an older version of that module.

Will do! Should I take this to mean Postgraphile won't be getting a new Graphql dependency anytime soon?

P.S. For anyone else with the same issue, you have to go back to graphql-upload version 13.0.0 (the library's latest version is 16.0.02) to get the library to install with the current Postgraphile.

In other words:

npm i graphql-upload@13.0.0

PostGraphile V5 is currently built around GraphQL v16. It’s possible we might go to v17 before release, depends on timing. No idea if it works with file uploads though since Grafast replaces the execution engine in GraphQL.

GraphQL v16 is used in V5.
