import type { DocumentNode } from 'graphql/language/ast'; '=' expected. error

[abrehamgezahegn]

Typescript throws this error.

`node_modules/graphql-request/dist/types.d.ts(1,13):
'=' expected. TS1005

1 | import type { DocumentNode } from 'graphql/language/ast';
| ^
2 | export declare type Variables = {
3 | [key: string]: any;
4 | };

`

I fixed it by editing nodemodules/graphql-request/dist/types.d.ts file by removing type from line 1. And the error is gone. But am not sure that is really a fix.

I'm experiencing the same problem

I've fixed this in this pull request #191

This syntax comes from TS 3.8 and up. You are probably on an older version.

I don't think the import type is essential though for our use-case here. And it wasn't my intention to force users to upgrade to TS 3.8+.

@GerbenRampaart yep it is now required to have graphql installed to use graphql-request in TS. In JS it doesn't matter.

rror: node_modules/@aws-amplify/api-graphql/lib-esm/types/index.d.ts:1:30 - error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'graphql/error/GraphQLError'. 'xxx/node_modules/graphql/error/GraphQLError.js' implicitly has an 'any' type. Try npm install @types/graphql if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing declare module 'graphql/error/GraphQLError'; 1 import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql/error/GraphQLError'; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add index.d.ts under src with:

  declare module 'graphql/language/ast' { export type DocumentNode = any }
  declare module 'graphql/error/GraphQLError' { export type GraphQLError = any }
