tRPC Client-side Type Inference Issue with Nested Promises
Hello everyone,
I'm using tRPC for my TypeScript project and I've encountered an issue regarding type inference on the client-side. Here's the simplified code snippet from my server-side:
On the server-side, everything works as expected. Approach (B) works correctly on client and server. Approach (A) does not. On the server, the return type is correctly inferred, including the
tables
field. However, when I try to use this procedure on the client-side, the table
field gets typed as any[] instead of the expected type.
I understand that TypeScript's type inference may have limitations, particularly with complex, nested promises and data transformations. However, since the server-side types are inferred correctly, I was expecting tRPC to carry these types over to the client-side without the need for explicit typing.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there a better way to handle this without having to explicitly type the response on the server-side procedure?
Any guidance or insight you could provide would be very appreciated.
Thank you!3 replies
