@agartha this is great. does that mean that the inline functions schema extensions will also support node 8?
a
Not sure yet, that's what I asked @nilan in my comment to it... Let's wait and see what the guys at Graphcool have to say about it. For now, it at least offers some relief for external webhooks, let's hope it will be extended to inline functions too!
In theory, I see no reason why not, as it is supported for Auth0 Extend too, which is what they use. But it might need to be configured, have backwards-compatibility issues (it's a big step from node 4 to node 8), so they might need to test this properly before introducing a breaking change to everybody's inline functions in production.

I am using node 8 in inline functions in production right now, auth0 extend is running that afaik
With full async/await support and whatnot
a
@joar What do you mean by that? Inline functions on Graphcool don't support async/await etc. yet natively
j
They dont? I am using the CLI, which is just a straight upload to auth0 extend as far as I know
a
Are you using babel-polyfill?
j
Yes

So ok wait
I was wrong haha
forgot I used that
a
πŸ˜„
That figures... Babel polyfill does a runtime transform to ES5
This is about natively supporting all node 8 features without transpiling
j
Yeah, my bad, I completely forgot I had that in there
a
No worries...
c
cool thanks. good to know @joar anyhow even
a
It definitely is a valid approach for now to use babel-polyfill, the performance penalty is negligible for most use cases.
m
Is that as easy as
require(babel-polyfill)
?
a
Yes, with some quotes in there in convenient places
like:
require('babel-polyfill')
m
lol, yes. Sorry
Tired…
