Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Gatsby Typescript Plugin

An alternative to the official typescript plugin, with ts-loader & automatic type generation for your graphql queries (using graphql-code-generator)


Installation

yarn add typescript gatsby-plugin-ts

Add this to your gatsby config like any other plugins:

// gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    `gatsby-plugin-ts`,
  ]
}

Unlike the official plugin, you'd have to bring your own tsconfig.json.

# generate a tsconfig if you have none
tsc --init

In order for this plugin to work right, you'd need to set your compile options like the following:

  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2018",    /* or at least ES2015 */
    "module": "ESNext",    /* or at least ES2015 */
    "lib": ["dom"],             /* <-- required! */
    "jsx": "preserve",          /* <-- required! */
    "moduleResolution": "node", /* <-- required! */

    /* for mixed ts/js codebase */
    "allowJs": true,
    "outDir": "./build"    /* this won't be used by ts-loader */
    /* other options... */
  }

Options

|key | default | value | |---|---|---| |typecheck options||| |options.tsLoader| {} | option to be passed into ts-loader. transpileOnly is always true, since typechecking is handled by fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin. See ts-loader docs for more | |options.alwaysCheck | false | ⚠️deprecated By default type checking is disabled in production mode (during gatsby build). Set this to true to enable type checking in production as well | |options.typeCheck | true | Enable / disable type checking with fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin. | |options.forkTsCheckerPlugin | {} | Options that'll be passed to fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin. For all options, please see their docs |codegen options||| |options.codegen| true | enable / disable generating definitions for graphql queries| |options.documentPaths| ['./src/**/*.{ts,tsx}','./.cache/fragments/*.js', './node_modules/gatsby-*/**/*.js'] | The paths to files containing graphql queries. ⚠️ The default paths will be overwritten by the documentPaths you pass in, so please make sure to include all necessary paths ⚠️ |options.fileName| graphql-type.ts | path to the generated file. By default, it's placed at the project root directory & it should not be placed into src, since this will create an infinite loop| |options.codegenDelay| 200 | amount of delay from file change to codegen| |options.pluckConfig| { globalGqlIdentifierName: "graphql", modules: [ { name: 'gatsby', identifier: 'graphql' } ] } | options passed to graphql-tag-pluck when extracting queries and fragments from documents | |options.failOnError (2.5.0)| process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' | Throw error if the codegen fails. By default only apply to production builds. |options.codegenConfig (^2.7.0)| {} | Add config directly to graphql-codegen. These key-value config will be applied to every graphql-codegen plugins. See graphql-codegen docs on the config field | |options.codegenPlugins (^2.7.0)| [] | Add additional plugins to graphql-codegen. We use the same format as Gatsby's. See example usage below. |options.additionalSchemas (^2.6.0)| [] | array of additional schemas (other than the schema used by gatsby queries) for which types should be generated for. This is useful when you use client-side queries (e.g. with apollo-client) where you are querying another schema/endpoint |

Example Setup

Basic

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    `gatsby-plugin-ts`,
  ]
}

Custom Output Path

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-ts`,
      options: {
        fileName: `gen/graphql-types.ts`,
      }
    }
  ]
}

I need to change everything

// gatsby-config.js
{
  resolve: `gatsby-plugin-ts`,
  options: {
    tsLoader: {
      logLevel: 'warn',
    },
    forkTsCheckerPlugin: {
      eslint: true,
    },
    fileName: `types/graphql-types.ts`,
    codegen: true,
    codegenDelay: 250,
    typeCheck: false,
    pluckConfig: {
      // this is the default config
      globalGqlIdentifierName: 'graphql',
      modules: [
        { name: 'gatsby', identifier: 'graphql' },
      ],
    },
    additionalSchemas: [
      {
        key: 'example',
        fileName: 'graphql-types-example.ts',
        schema: 'https://example.com/graphql',
        pluckConfig: {
          // config to ensure only queries using the `gql` tag are used for this schema
          globalGqlIdentifierName: 'gql',
          modules: [
            {
              name: 'graphql-tag',
              identifier: 'gql',
            },
          ],
        },
      }
    ],
  },
}

Gatsby files

  • gatsby-config has to be a .js file
  • gatsby-node is run directly by node, so it has to be a .js file as well. It is a shame, because in a complicated Gatsby app it is where a lot of logic live & will benefit from ts. As a work around, it can be built with tsc independently, in a script in package.json or somehow in gatsby's pre-init hook.
  • Gatsby's global variable like __PATH_PREFIX__ can be handled by declaring this code somewhere:
// src/global.d.ts
declare const __PATH_PREFIX__: string

Code generation

By default, this plugin will build typing for your queries automatically to graphql-types.d.ts on every edit. Please note that the definition file should not be placed inside src since this triggers a never ending loop during development.

In order to take advantage of the generated code, user needs to name their query:

// src/pages/index.tsx

  export const pageQuery = graphql`
-   query {
+   query BlogIndex {
      site {
        siteMetadata {
          title
        }
      }
  ...

...and import it from the generated type file:

// src/pages/index.tsx

import { BlogIndexQuery } from '../graphqlTypes'

interface IBlogIndexProps {
  data: BlogIndexQuery;
  location: Location;
}

const BlogIndex: React.FC<IBlogIndexProps> = ({ data, location }) => {
  ...
}

Disable type checking in production

Previously this plugin disable type checking in production by default, which can be changed by setting alwaysCheck to true. Since 2.0.0 it no longer does this. If you want to preseve the previous behavior, please set the typeCheck option like below:

{
  resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-ts',
  options: {
    // Disable type checking in production
    typeCheck: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
  }
}
