Apollo-server: Error: Must provide typeDefs - apollo-server: 2.0.0-beta.1

[damianthekreeeytor]

Using:

"apollo-server": "^2.0.0-beta.1",
"apollo-server-express": "^2.0.0-beta.0",

With the following code to initialize the server:

const server = new ApolloServer(req => ({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  engine: true,
  context: async () => ({
    mongo: await connectMongo(),
    user: req.user
  })
}))

registerServer({ server, app })

// normal ApolloServer listen call but url will contain /graphql
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000
server.listen({ port: PORT }).then(({ url }) => {
  console.log(`🚀 Server ready at ${url}`)
})

I receive the follow error in my console:

        throw new SchemaError('Must provide typeDefs');
        ^

Error: Must provide typeDefs

If just provide and object with instead of a function into the constructor is works, but I am integrating this with an express app which provides authentication.

Any help will be much appreciated.

I think it should be

const server = new ApolloServer({
  typeDefs,
  resolvers,
  engine: true,
  context: async () => ({
    mongo: await connectMongo(),
    user: req.user
  })
})

without req => ({ ...

That worked out thank you!

I tried this solution. It solves the 'Must provide typeDefs' error, but now I'm getting 'req is not defined'

@gtwright I think you have not defined a "req" variable. Maybe you need to remove it from the context like this :
javascript const server = new ApolloServer({ typeDefs, resolvers, engine: true, context: async () => ({ mongo: await connectMongo(), }) })
This was remove from code :
user: req.user
