Use Relay

See original GitHub issue

Hi, is it possible to use Relay with create-react-app without ejecting project and messing with webpack configuration?

I get the following error in the console:

invariant.js:38 Uncaught Invariant Violation: RelayQL: Unexpected invocation at runtime. Either the Babel transform was not set up, or it failed to identify this call site. Make sure it is being used verbatim as `Relay.QL`.

I was looking for solution and it seems to be problem with lack of Relay.QL transpiler in the Babel configuration. But all these projects were not created with create-react-app cli. From what I know it’s not possible to mess with webpack configuration until I eject a project.

We could detect if you have relay in package.json and add its Babel plugin. Since it’s part of the Facebook stack it makes sense to me to provide an integrated experience (as long as it works great).

There are a bunch of people at Facebook interested in making create-react-app work more smoothly with Relay. The tricky thing right now is that there are a ton of improvements on Relay coming, and we’re not sure whether/how that will change the getting-started experience. So I think we should wait for the next big Relay release and then take another hard look at this and see how we can make the Relay <-> React experience better.
