Docs Improvements: Samples Node Version

[igordonin]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

How does anyone know in which version of Node are the samples supposed to run?
That info is not in the docs and the there's no .nvmrc

Minimum reproduction code

https://github.com/nestjs/nest/tree/master/sample/23-graphql-code-first/

Steps to reproduce

npm i

Expected behavior

I'd expect npm to install the packages, but I get errors

[micalevisk]

that's not a issue with nodejs but a dep mismatch. I guess Renovatebot will fix that

It will work if you use the latest version of @nestjs/graphql

[igordonin]

Yup, not suggesting it's a bug, just that having a .nvmrc with the node version would likely help with the correct dependencies versions. But yeah, updating dependencies versions fixed it. Thanks for your response.
