apolloOptions.context type and default value about apollo-server

[helfer]

Yeah, it's true that there's a bit of a mismatch. The reason we let it be any is that graphql-js accepts any as the context, and we don't want to change that function signature with apollo server. Maybe there's a place in the documentation where we can make it clear that if connectors are used, the context has to be explicitly set to an empty object first?

@helfer it will be very helpfull, i've moving to new server and spent some time to make it works, before i found the solution! just because graphql-implementation make it required.

If someone could submit a PR to the docs, that would be great! 😃

Guys, since context now it an object, how can I modify context based on request? In Meteor the context is filled with userID, so how can this be achieved with the new design ?

I need context to be a function that accepts request.

I think this issue is mostly solved, so I'll close this. Feel free to open again if there's still something to discuss.
