self is not defined on server about fbjs

cc @steveluscher who I think I can at least partially blame for this 😜

I thought we weren't going to get into a situation where fetch was actually used in node?

Hi @clintonwoo. Are you trying to execute a Relay app on the server side in Node? If you are, and you're using the default network layer that imports fetch, it will break.

github/fetch is meant to be a browser polyfill only and they have no plans to make it universal.

What you should likely do, is to create (and inject) a network layer specific for the server side. Since you're already on the server, you might not even have to make network calls – you might choose to craft a network layer that resolves your queries in-place. See the Network Layer guide for more information.

Let's close this issue here. If you want to continue the conversation about your server-side Relay use-case, please do open an issue on the Relay issue tracker!
