Mapping Types

Let's type safe the useMutation.

As we learnt in the previous section, the auto-generated type definitions are available at src/generated/graphql.tsx file. Let's import GetMyTodosQuery, Insert_TodosMutation, Insert_TodosMutationVariables relevant for this component.

import * as React from 'react';
import gql from 'graphql-tag';
import { useMutation } from "@apollo/react-hooks";
import { GET_MY_TODOS } from './TodoPrivateList';
+ import { GetMyTodosQuery, Insert_TodosMutation, Insert_TodosMutationVariables } from '../../generated/graphql';

Now let's add this to useMutation:

const TodoInput = ({isPublic=false}) => {
const [todoInput, setTodoInput] = React.useState('');
- const [addTodo] = useMutation(ADD_TODO);
+ const [addTodo] = useMutation<Insert_TodosMutation, Insert_TodosMutationVariables>(ADD_TODO);
return (

Let's update the cache section which uses readQuery and writeQuery. We have imported GetMyTodosQuery type defintion for this.

<form className="formInput" onSubmit={(e) => {
e.preventDefault();
// add todo
addTodo({
variables: {todo: todoInput, isPublic },
update(cache, { data }) {
// do not update cache for public feed
if (isPublic || !data) {
return null;
}
- const getExistingTodos : any = cache.readQuery({ query: GET_MY_TODOS });
+ const getExistingTodos = cache.readQuery<GetMyTodosQuery>({ query: GET_MY_TODOS });
// Add the new todo to the cache
const existingTodos = getExistingTodos ? getExistingTodos.todos : [];
const newTodo = data.insert_todos!.returning[0];
- cache.writeQuery({
+ cache.writeQuery<GetMyTodosQuery>({
query: GET_MY_TODOS,
data: {todos: [newTodo, ...existingTodos]}
});
}
});
setTodoInput('');
}}>

We have now removed the explicit usage of any for getExistingTodos, replacing it with the auto-generated type.
