Graphql 16.2.0 support about express-graphql

[jnv]

My colleague reached out to maintainers on the community Discord and the good news is that there should be a new release soon-ish, so 🤞.

I have also researched alternatives and I'd say the most promising one is graphql-helix, it's somewhat more minimal but also server-agnostic and there is pretty good tutorial to get it running with Express.

I couldn't wait anymore, so I fork the project: https://github.com/GeorgesTech/express-graphql
Changes: https://github.com/GeorgesTech/express-graphql/pull/1
And I used it like this:

{
  "express-graphql": "https://gitpkg.now.sh/GeorgesTech/express-graphql/npmDist?chore/graphql-16",
}

gitpkg.now.sh allow me to target npmDist folder during install

I do not plan to maintain the fork for a long time
I hope the issue will resolve soon

In the meantime, renovate/dependabot is happy

I made the switch from express-graphql to graphql-helix today. Quite straightforward.

I moved to https://www.graphql-yoga.com/ V2 from https://www.the-guild.dev/

there is a migration path from express-graphql: https://www.graphql-yoga.com/docs/migration/migration-from-express-graphql
The migration was easy for me.
I just had to replace some middlewares with https://www.envelop.dev/ plugins also from the-guild

If you happened to use the fork: https://github.com/GeorgesTech/express-graphql
I'll keep the fork public for 1 month
I'll delete it at the beginning of Jully

Happy migration :)

Hey, this is duplicate of #790. There is a PR #793 to fix that (among other things).

I think its fair to say this project is no longer maintained, even with regular community PR's being made. Might be best to find an alternative, we are.

[adviner]

Is there an alternative solution? Working with node and express all Googling solutions always point to express-graphql. Trying to find a solution that doesn't require express-graphql or other dependencies. How do others use it? If everyone is depending on this library, we are all in trouble.

For those interested, I also forked the project at https://github.com/BlueSialia/express-graphql.

The company I work at uses it for a project, so I will be maintaining it for a long while.

Be aware that I made some changes already to the library, so just replacing express-graphql with @bluesialia/express-graphql may not be enough in some cases.

This library has been deprecated and this repo will be archived soon. It has been superseded by graphql-http.

Furthermore, if you seek a fully-featured, well-maintained and performant server - I heavily recommend GraphQL Yoga!
