Cruddl with Typescript project

[robross0606]

Having a heckuva time even following your demo/setup code in the Readme due to Typescript errors on cruddl dependencies. Getting errors such as:

node_modules/graphql-yoga/dist/types.d.ts:8:29 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'apollo-server-core'.
8 import { LogFunction } from 'apollo-server-core';

I've tried mucking with my tsconfig.json and importing several different @types/ to my package.json to no avail. What am I missing?

[robross0606]

My dependencies currently look like this:

  "dependencies": {
    "chalk": "^2.4.2",
    "cruddl": "^1.0.2",
    "dotenv": "^8.0.0",
    "graphql-yoga": "^1.18.3",
    "merge-graphql-schemas": "^1.7.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/jest": "^24.0.18",
    "@types/node": "^12.7.2",
    "@types/ws": "^6.0.3",
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^2.0.0",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^2.0.0",
    "cross-env": "^5.2.0",
    "eslint": "^6.2.2",
    "eslint-config-prettier": "^6.1.0",
    "jest": "^24.9.0",
    "nodemon": "^1.19.1",
    "prettier": "^1.18.2",
    "rimraf": "^3.0.0",
    "ts-jest": "^24.0.2",
    "ts-node": "^8.3.0",
    "typescript": "^3.5.3"
  }

Try running npm i apollo-server-core

[robross0606]

If that is required, shouldn't it be a dependency of cruddl or graphql-yoga?

[itsezc]

It should be however I think graphql-yoga requires an older version/package of Apollo Server afaik (which is no longer updated), I don't use yoga, I use apollo server directly

import { ApolloServer } from 'apollo-server'

const ORM = new ApolloServer({
	schema,
	onHealthCheck: () => {
		return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
			if (true) {
				resolve()
			} else {
				reject()
			}
		})
	},
})

ORM
	.listen({
		port: 8081
	})
	.then((info) => {
		console.log(`ORM server started on http://localhost:${info.port}`)
	})

The schema here being the schema generated by Cruddl, works perfectly (:

I did that anyway, and got another error:

node_modules/graphql-yoga/dist/types.d.ts:8:10 - error TS2305: Module '"../../../../../../../Code/learning/graphql/cruddl/node_modules/apollo-server-core/dist"' has no exported member 'LogFunction'.

8 import { LogFunction } from 'apollo-server-core';

8 import { LogFunction } from 'apollo-server-core';

Yup, as expected it was the apollo-server-core package not being installed, your best bet is using the code I provided above, and here's the rest to generate the schema:

import { ArangoDBAdapter, Project as ProjectConfiguration } from 'cruddl'
import DataModel from './schema.graphql'

const Database = new ArangoDBAdapter({
	databaseName: '',
	url: '',
	user: '',
	password: ''
})

const Project = new ProjectConfiguration({
	sources: [
		{
			name: 'schema.graphql',
			body: DataModel
		},
		{
			name: 'permission-profiles.json',
			body: JSON.stringify({
				permissionProfiles: {
					default: {
						permissions: [
							{
								roles: ['admin'],
								access: 'readWrite'
							},
							{
								roles: ['user*'],
								access: 'read'
							}
						]

					}
				}
			})
		}
	],
	getExecutionOptions: ({ context }) => ({ authRoles: ['users'] })
})

const schema = Project.createSchema(Database)
Database.updateSchema(Project.getModel())

@itsezc have you seen any strange issues with response caching when using Apollo like this? All my responses are getting cached on a per-client basis, including mutations. It is really strange behavior to cache mutation responses by default. I literally cannot execute more than one record insertion using the same query in a row without restarting the server.

[itsezc]

@robross0606 I have never seen that happen to me, with or without Cruddl

I still had a look into Apollo Server caching and the closet thing I could find was:
https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/features/caching/#saving-full-responses-to-a-cache

[robross0606]

@itsezc, I'm absolutely baffled by this behavior. I opened a new ticket (#92) to discuss. I'm seeing similar behavior across multiple different GraphQL client test tools (Insomnia, Playground, etc.). Since cruddl is all auto-wired I can't even figure out where to put a breakpoint or control log output to tell what's happening.

I think we can just switch to ApolloServer. graphql-yoga has caused quite a few headaches by just trying to update it a few times...

[robross0606]

Agreed. A version of suggestions from @itsezc worked fine for me.
