Mock All GraphQL Operations in MSW

Let's improve our schema-first GraphQL mocks by intercepting all GraphQL operations—both queries and mutations—using a single Mock Service Worker graphql.operation() request handler.

Is there a way to type annotate the returned data? I get the following error from ts

Type 'ObjMap<unknown> | null | undefined' is not assignable to type 'null | undefined'.
  Type 'ObjMap<unknown>' is not assignable to type 'null | undefined'.

Shouldn't data be something like Review | Array<Review> and expand from there as we add to executeGraphQL? Also I'm having a hard time following the client side code to see where it is expecting null | undefined

Thanks

I meant to say I have defined the type Review based on type Review in the schema and I'm referring to the data returned by executeGraphQL.

When I return it as return HttpResponse.json({ errors, data }); this is where I get the error because the expected response is just null | undefined

Hi! Please, do you have a reproduction repo I can look at? It's quite difficult to suggest anything by text alone. I'm sure we can figure this one out quickly and have your mocked response type-safe. Thanks.

Yes sir. msw-course

It occurred to me that this project for the course is for demo purposes of MSW and all of that is working so no problem there. My TS problem I think is in the useQuery hook where I'm a bit lost on the code. I also found that graphql.operations is generic so I can pass in the expected type to get that as the return type for 'data'. Now I just need to understand the code in useQuery and I should be able to work it out. Thanks

Note that you can pass query and variables type to graphql.operation() as well!

graphql.operation<Query, Variables>(resolver)

Since this handler is meant to handle any GraphQL operations, make sure you provide a union of query and variables types to reflect that.

Give it a try, and if you encounter any difficulties, please reach out to me on GitHub: https://github.com/mswjs/msw/discussions. Thanks!
