Type checking `select` works differently on `useQueries` compared to `useQuery`

[jtannas]

Describe the bug

When using useQuery, TS correctly infers the argument type of the select query option to be the return type of the queryFn data. Applying the same settings to useQueries it loses that link and changes it to any. The linked TS sandbox shows the issue better than I can explain it though.

Expected behavior

I would like the type checking of select on useQueries to work as well as it does on useQuery.

I think it's a known limitation.

Possible workarounds:

• annotate the input to select: playground
• use the queryOptions helper: playground

[judicaelandria]

was gonna propose the first workarounds but the second one seems fine too

[TkDodo]

I'll leave this open if someone wants to take a look, but given that we have good workarounds, it's not a priority for me.

Thanks for the tips :) I've been annotating the inputs to work around it but was shying away from queryOptions because these are suspense queries. I tried some workarounds with satisfies UseSuspenseQueryOptions to narrow it down, but no luck there.

Any suggestions there? Maybe a suspenseQueryOptions helper?

You can pass queryOptions just fine to useSuspenseQueries

playground

yep - was just hoping for something that'd prevent people slipping in placeholderData/enabled since that caught us pretty badly when we started transitioning to suspense
