Migration to 5.0.0

What has changed?

There was an outstanding issue with @parcel/watcher which prevented it to be installed in certain environments, or needed an extra amount of dependencies to be built. This release focuses on improving the usage of @graphql-codegen/cli in those environments by making it an optional peer dependency. NPM (or Yarn) will not emit errors when an optional peer dependency is missing.

How to migrate?

To use @graphql-codegen/cli’s watch mode (based on @parcel/watcher) you need to provide it in a package that uses @graphql-codegen/cli from now on.

Start by updating your package.json

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@graphql-codegen/cli": "^1.0.0",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript": "^1.0.0",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript-operations": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

If you had issues with @parcel/watcher previously, you can make NPM and Yarn silently discard any build errors, by using optionalDependencies instead:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@graphql-codegen/cli": "^1.0.0",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript": "^1.0.0",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript-operations": "^1.0.0"
  }
}
