SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode about swapi-graphql HOT 3 CLOSED

What version of node are you running? It seems like that you're seeing this because the version you are running is too old to have let etc support.

As a workaround, you could try this:

node_modules/.bin/babel-node src/api/cachedData/downloadCache.js > src/api/cachedData/cache.js`

Which is roughly equivalent to the following, which is what the download script is doing:

node src/api/cachedData/downloadCache.js > src/api/cachedData/cache.js

We should be able to tweak the script to use a built copy of downloadCache.js instead of the raw source, so it will work on a wider range of node versions.

You could also try PR #51 and see if it works.

You're right; I'm definitely running an old version of node (4.6.1). I had something that required that version, and I never updated and hadn't thought to check.

I did manage to get the data by just running downloadCache.js directly.

Thanks!
