fix: restore boot by updating Babel config and graphql-yoga v5 API - #39
Merged
Conversation
Two bugs, both from dependency bumps that landed without code changes:
1. .babelrc set useBuiltIns/debug, removed in @babel/preset-env 8, so
@babel/register threw at startup before any app code ran.
2. graphql-yoga was bumped to ^5, which removed the v1 GraphQLServer
constructor the workshop used. Ported to createYoga/createSchema
served by node:http.
Verified: server boots, { hello } and { hello(name:) } both resolve, and
the GraphiQL IDE loads at /graphql. README updated for the /graphql path
and the Playground -> GraphiQL rename.

npm starthas been broken. Two separate bugs, both from dependency bumps that landed without corresponding code changes.1. Babel config
.babelrcsetuseBuiltIns: 'usage'anddebug, both removed in@babel/preset-env8.require('@babel/register')threw before any app code ran:Dropped both options.
targets: { node: 'current' }already means no polyfilling is needed here.2. graphql-yoga v5 API
Fixing Babel exposed the real bug:
graphql-yogawas bumped to^5in #35, which removed the v1GraphQLServerconstructor, so the app died withGraphQLServer is not a constructor. Portedserver.jsto the v5createYoga+createSchemaAPI served bynode:http, keeping the workshop's teaching comments intact.Verification
README updated for the
/graphqlpath and the Playground -> GraphiQL rename. Prettier clean.
