Playground 1.3.5 now requires a config file for graphql-config to be present

[vincenzo]

This issue pertains to:

• GraphQL Playground - Electron App
• GraphQL Playground
• GraphQL Playground Middleware

What OS and OS version are you experiencing the issue(s) on?

macOS High Sierra

What version of graphql-playground(-electron/-middleware) are you experience the issue(s) on?

1.3.5

What is the expected behavior?

Load without issue

What is the actual behavior?

App crashes because of...

ConfigNotFoundError: ".graphqlconfig" file is not available in the provided config directory: /Users/vincenzo/Documents/Repositories/github/yoga

What steps may we take to reproduce the behavior?

1. Create your GraphQL server with Express and Apollo (get off the ground with graphql-yoga, if you like)
2. Include Playground (already done for you if you chose to start with graphql-yoga)
3. Fire up your app
4. It will crash with an error similar to the one above

Temporary workaround

Create one of the two the config file supported, and have a simple one line setting in it. I created .graphqlconfig.yml and put the following in it:

schemaPath: schema.graphql
