Apollo package v5 suggestion

storyteller · April 26, 2023, 12:38pm

Apollo package had recently released a new version (v4.2) which mainly updated the included @apollo/client package.

I have prepared a PR for what should become v5 of the apollo package.

A bit more detail is in my recent dev.to article:

The short version is I’m proposing to take @apollo/client npm package should be taken out of the apollo Meteor package and make @apollo/client a peer dependency to be installed independently, like you do with jQuery and Blaze.

Thoughts?

I think this should be the default for all meteor packages revolving around npm packages.
Also, any idea concerning the @apollo/server@4 integration ?
@apollo/server@3 is officially deprecated.

Is there something specific that I have missed in @apollo/server@4 that still needs addressing? The apollo package doesn’t really deal with the server.

You can see a sample initialization in Meteor here:

github.com

meteor/meteor/blob/devel/tools/static-assets/skel-apollo/server/apollo.js

import { ApolloServer } from '@apollo/server';
import { WebApp } from 'meteor/webapp';
import { getUser } from 'meteor/apollo';
import { LinksCollection } from '/imports/api/links';
import typeDefs from '/imports/apollo/schema.graphql';
import express from 'express';
import { expressMiddleware } from '@apollo/server/express4';
import { json } from 'body-parser';

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    getLink: async (obj, { id }) => LinksCollection.findOne(id),
    getLinks: async () => LinksCollection.find().fetch()
  }
};

const context = async ({ req }) => ({
  user: await getUser(req.headers.authorization)
})

With Meteor v3 having express in core it will become a bit easier.

Connecting an express instance to the WebApp module isn’t explicit in the given exemples / documentation !
thanks for the link, solved my issue
