Why doesn't index.ts export graphql.ts too?

[finkpong]

I set up client-preset according to instructions here https://the-guild.dev/graphql/codegen/docs/guides/react-vue

In my app I need to pass graphql query results to react components in other modules, which leads to situations where I need to explicitly provide the type. I initially wrote type interfaces until I realized I am writing a lot of boilerplate, and why don't I just directly use the generated graphql types. I found that these types are defined in graphql.ts, but somehow they are not being exported... only gql.ts and fragment-masking.ts are:

gql/index.ts:

export * from "./fragment-masking";
export * from "./gql";

// there is no `export * from './graphql';`

(we can also find examples of this in the official examples directory, e.g. https://github.com/dotansimha/graphql-code-generator/blob/master/examples/react/apollo-client/src/gql/index.ts)

i would like to know if there is any reason why? any disadvantages to using the stuff inside graphql.ts outside of /gql?

btw, even if i add export * from './graphql' manually, it will just get overwritten in the next codegen run.

thanks!

had a look in the implementation where the index.ts generation is, the relevant code seems to be this https://github.com/dotansimha/graphql-code-generator/blob/master/packages/presets/client/src/index.ts#L291 , basically graphql is not among the reexports list that is used in indexFileGenerateConfig
