fix: allow suppressing invariant log messages

[iiroj]

Hello,

as a happy user of Apollo Client, I would like to completely suppress the invariant log errors in my production environment. I don't want to load all the error codes into the bundle, nor do I want to output the fallback message linking to https://go.apollo.dev/ into the console.

I opened this small PR that adds a new method for achieving this:

import { setVerbosity } from "@apollo/client/dev";

if (!__DEV__) {  // Silence messages when not in a dev environment
  setVerbosity("silent");
}

Where setVerbosity is just directly re-exported from ts-invariant.

There doesn't seem to be any existing tests for this functionality, but I'm happy to create some if necessary. EDIT: I found a place to add an unit test.

Feel free to merge, edit, or reject this pull request. Since the change is small enough, I figured it's easier to just create a PR rather than submit an issue for the feature request first.

I think this should already be possible without code changes in Apollo Client:

import { setVerbosity } from "ts-invariant";

setVerbosity("silent");

Could you please try that before we further go down this route?

[iiroj]

@phryneas thank you, I will test. If that works, maybe at least a documentation update would be nice.

[iiroj]

@phryneas I can confirm that setting the verbosity of ts-invariant to 'silent' achieves the same thing! I will close this Pull Request but you're willing to accept it, I can also:

1. Update the documentation for the errors to mention this
2. Export silenceErrorMessages from @apollo/client/dev which just calls this setVerbosity.

[phryneas]

I'd be happy to accept a PR that does 1. here - I don't think we need to ship additional code for this, but an edit to the documentation to highlight this would be very welcome!

[iiroj]

Just to make sure: how about re-exporting setVerbosity from @apollo/client/dev? My ESLint ruleset doesn't like importing from packages that are not explicitly installed.

[phryneas]

Yeah, I think that would be fine.
