Parse-server: Cannot read property 'parseGraphQLController' of undefined

Issue Description

Hello,

I am getting the following error when I create the GraphQL server with express:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'parseGraphQLController' of undefined
    at new ParseGraphQLServer (some-path\node_modules\parse-server\src\GraphQL\ParseGraphQLServer.js:27:59)
    at Object.<anonymous> (some-path\src\index.ts:33:30)

Steps to reproduce

The code that I wrote is the following. All I do is create a Parse server + graphQL + dashboard, as follows:

   const app = express();
  const PORT = process.env.PORT;
  const api = new ParseServer({
    databaseURI: process.env.DB_URI,
    cloud: (getEnv() === "development") ?
      path.join(__dirname, "cloud.ts") : // on development, use the ts file
      path.join(__dirname, "cloud.js"),
    appId: process.env.APP_ID,
    fileKey: process.env.FILE_KEY,
    masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY,
    serverURL: process.env.SERVER_URL,
    publicServerURL: process.env.SERVER_URL,
  });

  const parseGraphQLServer = new ParseGraphQLServer(
    api,
    {
      graphQLPath: '/graphql',
      playgroundPath: '/playground'
    }
  );

  const dashboard = new ParseDashboard({
    apps: [
      {
        serverURL: process.env.SERVER_URL, // http://localhost:1337/parse
        graphQLServerURL: process.env.SERVER_GRAPHQL_URL, // http://localhost:1337/graphql
        appId: process.env.APP_ID,
        masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY,
        appName: process.env.APP_NAME
      }
    ]
  });

  app.use("/parse", api.app);
  parseGraphQLServer.applyGraphQL(app);
  parseGraphQLServer.applyPlayground(app);
  app.use("/dashboard", dashboard);

  app.listen(PORT, () => {
    // tslint:disable-next-line
    console.log(`App running on port ${PORT}`);
  });

Expected Results

The GraphQL endpoint should be mounted correctly and the application should not crash.

Actual Outcome

The application crashes due to an error with the GraphQL srever

Can you please share how you are importing the ParseServer and ParseGraphQLServer vars? You should try something like this:

const { default: ParseServer, ParseGraphQLServer } = require('parse-server');

Hi @davimacedo, I got a new error after I changing the code.
