Enable useSelect autocompletion #41911

What?

This PR builds @wordpress/data types to provide autocompletion support for useSelect across the repository.

The two included cosmetic changes in the block-editor package are here to showcase how it works:

CleanShot.2022-06-23.at.13.44.33.mp4

Note: For now, this only works with the store defined in the same package where useSelect is called. With this PR, TypeScript knows how to resolve the type of the useSelect hook, but all the cross-package store imports still come across as any.

How

This PR adds a wordpress__data.d.ts ambient module that re-exports the types built for the @wordpress/data package.

The intention is to keep this change contained to the Gutenberg repository until the types mature more.

Once that happens, the next step would be publishing them by adding "types": "build-types" to package.json in @wordpress/data. It tells TypeScript how to resolve the typing file for @wordpress/data (source)

Why?

Now that useSelect is typed in an autocompletion-friendly way, it only makes sense to enable that feature across the Gutenberg repository.

Testing Instructions

Go to use-available-alignments.js and confirm the autocompletion works as on the video above.

Awesome work! This is probably my most wanted feature when working with useSelect. 💯

but all the cross-package store imports still come across as any.

Any idea how we could solve this in the future?

Unfortunately, this flag has multiple effects:

  1. It tells TypeScript how to resolve the typing file for @wordpress/data (source)
  2. Includes the build-types directory in the published npm package (source)

We want the former but not the latter. Before merging this PR we may need to decouple these behaviors. Perhaps there's a way to tell Lerna to ignore types for this package?

Why wouldn't we want the build-types directory to be included in the published npm package? I thought the directory is already on the published package?

@kevin940726 I somehow thought they're not being released – great spot! I am going to update the description to reflect that.

The reason I wanted to avoid releasing was to test-drive these types internally and make any necessary adjustments before releasing them to the world.

Since the build already includes types, adding "types": "build-modules" only tells TypeScript how to resolve the typing file for @wordpress/data. We could keep these types released but "unplugged" by having the "types": "build-modules" line inside of this repository but not in the released packages. A small webpack plugin could get us there, I'm thinking about something that would see the following lines in package.json:

{
    "types": "build-modules",
    "removeTypesResolutionOnBuild": true
}

And remove the "types": "build-modules" line from package.json.

but all the cross-package store imports still come across as any.
Any idea how we could solve this in the future?

We'd have to add tsconfig.json and "types": "build-modules" to each of these packages. We'll get there step by step.

Actually, a webpack plugin won't cut it as the package.json is bundled straight from packages/data/package.json and not from any intermediate directory with build artifacts. I can only think of one way of removing the "types": "build-types" on build: Adding an npm postpack hook that would rewrite the package.json inside of the final .tgz bundle.

Well then, maybe we could take this another way around. Don't add the types field in package.json. Instead, referencing the types of the package to the directory at the project level. For instance, add a @wordpress/core-data.d.ts file in the typings folder and re-export all of the types in build-types. No idea if that would work though 😅

IMO, I don't think we have to go all the way just to experiment with the types. For people not using TypeScript, the change doesn't matter to them. For people using TypeScript, they probably already have a custom config to ignore the type of the package anyway. I'd prefer just releasing the types in a minor release as a feature 😅. c.c. @gziolo for other concerns I missed though.

I'd love that to be the case, but how do you know?

Also, I just realized this would be a breaking change as right now the typescript reads the types from the DefinitelyTyped repo whereas after this PR it would start reading them from the data package. The culprit is the two are not compatible :(

Also interested in your thoughts @dmsnell and @sarayourfriend

Unfortunately, updating the tarball won't work. Lerna creates a temporary file with a random name and does not pass its path to postpack:

https://github.com/lerna/lerna/blob/8ca18bedecf4f141c6242a099086e84b2ced72de/utils/pack-directory/lib/pack-directory.js#L63-L70

Which means we can do either of:

  • Publish the npm packages with the types key in the package.json, as @kevin940726 suggested
  • Experiment with a @wordpress/core-data.d.ts file, also as @kevin940726 suggested
  • Remove the "types" from package.json before the build and restore it after the build. It sounds fragile, though.
  • Rework the entire build pipeline. Let's just say I'd rather not.

I'd love to hear more opinions here.

@kevin940726 I ended up going through with the ambient module declaration to enable this just in the Gutenberg repository for now. Would you be up for a re-review? Also cc @sirbrillig

how does this play with the issue of having a global DefinitelyTyped package in for @wordpress/data?

This overrides the DefinitelyTyped types thanks to the "typeRoots": [ "./typings", "./node_modules/@types" ], setting in tsconfig.json.
