Background: #4843 (comment)
Closes my previous PR #4864, which attempted a similar ESM-to-CJS transformation using TypeScript instead of Babel.
I was tempted to use
@babel/plugin-transform-runtime
here, but that would have required adding a runtime dependency on@babel/runtime
to all Apollo Client packages. Also, since we're only running the modules transform, the set of runtime helpers is effectively limited tointeropRequireDefault
andinteropRequireWildcard
, whose implementations can be inlined safely without increasing bundle sizes very much.Fixes #4843.
