New Function Runtime

[timsuchanek]

ES7 + Typescript support

Since today, Graphcool's Framework Preview has a new function runtime.
It supports ES7 and more complex javascript projects with multiple files.
From now on you can even write your functions in TypeScript and use async/await!

In order to give you full control, Graphcool is no longer automatically injecting npm packages, but bundling and uploading the service folder, including the node_modules.

It is likely that you got redirected to this issue by the CLI, because you are already using functions in an existing service without having a local node_modules folder or package.json file.

How to make your functions ready

Without package.json

If you don't have a package.json yet, a quick way of creating one is running this in your graphcool service folder:

npm init --yes

Then install the dependencies, that you already use:

npm install --save graphcool-lib validator

With an existing package.json

Just run

npm install

Now you can run graphcool deploy as usual.

Notes

• This only affects upgraded projects that are part of the Framework Preview. Legacy projects still run on the old function runtime.
