Base project (with added nodemon) is crashing.

[karlkras]

npm version 5.3.0 (also tried with 3.8.0)
using nodemon: "*" added to package.json since not in project.

~/work/auth-graphql-starter (master)*> npm run dev

As a result I'm blocked in this course.

You need to add a fields method when declaring a new GraphQLObjectType

So in the file ./server/schema/types/root_query_type.js you need to import some type, say GraphQLString, and add the fields key

const { GraphQLObjectType, GraphQLString } = graphql;

const RootQueryType = new GraphQLObjectType({
  name: 'RootQueryType',
  fields: () => ({
    someTempThing: { type: GraphQLString }
  })
});

Also added nodemon, but have a different exception:

                ^

Any suggestions?
