const {graphqlHTTP} = require('express-graphql');

That gave me a chuckle. :D

Error: 'graphqlHTTP is not a function'
if anyone is getting this error because there have been updates and it requires destructuring as
const { graphqlHTTP } = require('express-graphql');

If got error saying that graphqlHTTP is not a function, use this

var { graphqlHTTP } = require("express-graphql");
instead of
const graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql')

If you're reading this comment,

replace

const graphqlHTTP = require('express-graphql');

with

const { graphqlHTTP } = require('express-graphql');

This is just a recent update to the package.

Thank me with a like

For me just worked with:
const { graphqlHTTP } = require('express-graphql');

Any one facing this error: 'app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...'

[PoskoKKNUINWalisongo-spkb]

whyy dont you use monospace font?? it seems odds

[hamzakamran]

for someone who is watching this in 2023, instead of using
const graphqlHTTP= require('express-graphql')
use
const {graphqlHTTP}= require('express-graphql')
else it will not recognize it as a function

[Rarez]

Why use require's instead of import? Wouldn't import's be cleaner?

[oussemabouyahia]

too old video, now we require graphql and buildschema and not express-graphql

app.use('/graphql', graphqlHTTP({


}));

this is needed as well if you are getting the graphqlHTTP is not a function error message
