4.3/5.0 broken on Node.js with Typescript: WebSocket is not defined

[Qix-]

WebSocket functionality was introduced in #330 but assumed that WebSocket was available everywhere. This is only the case in the DOM - Node does not have WebSocket available in the global scope. This makes typescript compilation fail in all cases.

Looks like this breaking change was actually introduced in a minor bump 4.3.

I have the same problem!

node_modules/graphql-request/dist/graphql-ws.d.ts:19:25 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'WebSocket'.

19 constructor(socket: WebSocket, { onInit, onAcknowledged, onPing, onPong }: SocketHandler); ~~~~~~~~~

Found 1 error(s).

I fixed for now with "skipLibCheck": true In tsconfig.json

same Issue here node 16 "graphql-request": "^5.0.0",

Yes, this is a problem. We need to be able to use "graphql-request": "^5.0.0" in nodejs without having to include DOM in the ts.config libs

"skipLibCheck": true helped, even though it's not a good way to fix things.

This is still an issue. Bump
