Research direction

The conflict is the [email protected] entry in the ra-data-graphql-simple package manifest, which pins a peer graphql@^0.11.7 while the package expects graphql@^15.6.0. Start by finding where that dependency is imported to see which AST builders it supplies. Done would mean the package installs with graphql@15 without ERESOLVE warnings and its query-building tests still pass, but the issue leaves open whether to replace the dependency or fork it, so confirm the approach with maintainers first.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What you were expecting:

Installing ra-data-graphql-simple with its supported GraphQL version should not produce peer-dependency warnings.

What happened instead:

[email protected] requires graphql@^15.6.0, but depends on [email protected], which requires graphql@^0.11.7.

Installation succeeds but repeatedly produces:

npm warn ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency
npm warn Could not resolve dependency:
npm warn peer graphql@"^0.11.7" from [email protected]

Steps to reproduce:

Run npm install in a project with the dependencies below.

Related code:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "ra-data-graphql-simple": "5.15.4",
    "graphql": "15.10.1"
  }
}

Other information:

Previously reported in #7654, which was closed without correcting the conflicting peer requirement.

The temporary browser fork is still waiting on graphql-ast-types#7, open since 2018....

Could ra-data-graphql-simple replace this dependency with internal typed AST builders using graphql, or a maintained alternative?
