I have followed this (https://medium.com/coinmonks/build-a-insurance-application-with-hyperledger-composer-and-react-js-part-1-3ebe7ad54986) tutorial upto "create our REST API".
Now when i run following command
composer-rest-server -c admin@secure-phi -n never -u true -w true
I get following error
/home/ali/.nvm/versions/node/v8.17.0/lib/node_modules/composer-rest-server/node_modules/formdata-node/lib/FormData.js:206

Is this a syntax related error or something else, and any way to fix this?
I found the error is related to generator not supported below node v8, but hyper-ledger-composer specifically requires node v8, so any work around to this?
It seems to be a version conflict between sub-dependencies in the graph. Looks like the package 'g11n-pipeline' is requiring a different version of 'swagger-client' that pulls the dependency '@tim-lai/isomorphic-form-data'.
I did this workaround as it is a global package (we don't have access to the package-lock.json/package.json).
Since you've installed with NPM (npm i -g composer-rest-server):
cd /home/ali/.nvm/versions/node/v8.17.0/lib/node_modules/composer-rest-server
npm install [email protected]
rm -rf node_modules/g11n-pipeline/node_modules/swagger-client
