CLI REFACTORS GRAPHIQL SERVER FOR PLATFORM REUSE

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify

Shopify/cli is extracting its GraphiQL server from the app package into cli-kit, making it available across other tools while shipping 40 dependency updates.

The team moved the GraphiQL server, templates, utilities, and assets into @shopify/cli-kit [1], then updated app dev to import from there while keeping bundled asset resolution intact. This clears the path for other packages to spin up GraphQL debugging without duplicating code. In parallel, the same codebase made the server auth-agnostic [2], so Store GraphiQL can work with tokens outside the app dev client credentials flow. A separate token provider module was extracted with full test coverage. Dependency maintenance continues steady: 27 development dependencies bumped [3], including @changesets/cli, @graphql-codegen packages, and 13 minor version updates [4] across TypeScript-ESLint, GraphQL, and Prettier. Over in hydrogen, a one-character fix landed [5]: the preview release npm publish path now uses `./packages/hydrogen` instead of `packages/hydrogen`, preventing npm from misinterpreting the path as a GitHub shorthand spec.
