React-apollo: Can't resolve 'graphql/language/printer'

[mech]

Using these deps:

"apollo-cache-inmemory": "^1.0.0",
"apollo-client": "^2.0.1",
"apollo-link": "^1.0.0",
"apollo-link-http": "^1.0.0",
"react": "^16.0.0",
"react-apollo": "^2.0.0",

I am getting this strange Module not found: Can't resolve 'graphql/language/printer' in apollo-client

I thought we're using graphql-tag?

[spencercarli]

I had to explicitly add graphql to my project dependencies to get this error to go away.

[q3e]

Getting a similar error using react-native

Failed building JavaScript bundle
Unable to resolve graphql/language/printer" from ".//node_modules/apollo-client/apollo.umd.js"

package.json:

--    "react-apollo": "^2.0.0",
--     "apollo-client": "^2.0.1"
--     "graphql-tag": "^2.5.0",

[q3e]

@spencercarli could you elaborate. thanks

[spencercarli]

I just ran yarn add graphql, restarted the React Native packager and this particular error went away. Still trying to figure out the rest of it 😄

[q3e]

@spencercarli That helped alot. Thanks :)

Been having issues lately related to apollo and apollo react... This apollo-client issue shows closely looking at package versions will help

[mech]

Okay, just so everyone can get it to work, you need these:

"apollo-cache-inmemory": "^1.0.0",
"apollo-client": "^2.0.1",
"apollo-link": "^1.0.0",
"apollo-link-error": "^1.0.0",
"apollo-link-http": "^1.0.0",
"graphql": "^0.11.7",
"graphql-tag": "^2.5.0",
"react-apollo": "^2.0.0"

The non-obvious 2 packages to use to make [email protected] works are:

• graphql
• graphql-tag

Use it like so:

import gql from 'graphql-tag'
import { graphql } from 'react-apollo'

[mauscoelho]

thanks @mech
resolved my problem with react native

[kyler-hyuna]

Thank you! Knocked my head too long on setting up graphql.

[peggyrayzis]

Here are all the packages you'll need to get started, including graphql-tag & graphql: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/basics/setup.html#installation

[kyler-hyuna]

Thanks for updating the docs @peggyrayzis :)

[morgansierrasnyder]

@peggyrayzis do we need to upgrade to "graphql": "^0.11.7" on our GraphQL server, as well? can't find this in the migration docs.

[agm1984]

This still appears to be true as of today.

[crudexec]

@agm1984 yes, I just had to deal with the issue right now .. but this post really helped

[Stevearzh]

seems I met the same problem when using "graphql": "^0.13.2" in project, solved by downgrade it to "graphql": "0.13.0"

[AurangzaibRamzan]

@mech thanks

[chrisbull]

@peggyrayzis This is still a major problem. Even with a fresh build. Can you guys please look into it? Thanks

@mech Thanks! Adding graphql dependency worked!

[sis-dk]

September and still a problem.

[iamdanthedev]

upgraged graphql from 0.13-something to ^14 and bumped into this problem again

[gersongams]

@iamdanthedev I'm having the same issue with this, and I'm using apollo server with merge-graphql-schemas :cry: Does anyone found a solution?

[paul-phan]

Don't know whether it needs to be another issue or not so I'll leave a comment here.
This problem occurs again in the new version of create-react-app which is using Babel 7 and Webpack 4...
Here is the error I've got:

Failed to compile.

./node_modules/apollo-link-state/lib/utils.js 21:51-56
  'graphql' does not contain an export named 'print'.

Code:

import ApolloClient from 'apollo-boost'
import gql from 'graphql-tag';

const client = new ApolloClient({
    uri: '/graphql'
})
console.log(gql)

npx create-react-app@next --scripts-version=@next test-next

[JustFly1984]

I have same issue with [email protected], only my webpack gives me this error:

Attempted import error: 'print' is not exported from 'graphql'.

per each file I use import { print } from 'graphql'

When I downgrade to 0.13.0 I got dev server running, but there is runtime errors about undefined environment variables. I do not use create-react-app, I use react-static instead.

I have no idea where to dig, cos environment variables passed with any other version of graphql, but not with 0.13.0

[jayliew]

Adding this worked for me:
```
import { ApolloProvider } from 'react-apollo'
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom'
ReactDOM.render(



,
document.getElementById('root')
)
````

[hadnazzar]

I think graphql is not installed as package.

npm install --save graphql
or
yarn add graphql

Hope fixes your problem!

[deenMuhammad]

installing
react-dom helped me

[ReadySoftTeam]

Esto funciono para mi:

npm install --save react-apollo graphql

[ronatory]

For me it just was yarn add graphql and restarting the server

[aldegoeij]

might help someone from going mad / bald: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/issues/4764

[jpenna]

Installing graphql solved the problem.

This was opened in 2017 and is tagged as Closed.

@peggyrayzis Should graphql continue to be installed separately if it is required by the lib?

[EdwardGoomba]

This is still an ongoing issue. Using 3.0 beta on an Expo project and ran into the same problem. Installing graphql as suggested above solved the error.

@spencercarli Two + years later and your still helping out 🥇

[mthines]

To me, the problem was not the missing dependency.
I had added graphql in the webpack alias resolver. Removing it from there fixed the problem. :)

[mattdenkers]

I also had this issue when trying to create a webpack alias for graphql.

[NiyongaboEric]

I encountered the same error.

Module not found: Can't resolve 'graphql/language/printer' ...

I installed npm i graphql and it gets solved.

Thank you everyone for the support.

[nathanjwtx]

This issue is still happening. I'm trying to use Apollo Client beta 3.0.0-rc.12

I have installed graphql and graphql-tag.
