🎯 Changes

While testing my changes to the @typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion lint rule on this repo, I found these unnecessary type assertions that can be removed without impacting runtime behaviour or triggering TS errors.

typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint#11789

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Removes several explicit type casts and related imports across query-core and query-devtools, plus a minor comment typo fix; no public API or behavioral changes.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)Summary
Query core: comment & default state
packages/query-core/src/query.ts
Fixed a comment typo ("retyer" → "retryer"). In getDefaultState, initialDataUpdatedAt is invoked without an explicit type cast.
Query core: observer type-cleanup
packages/query-core/src/queryObserver.ts
Removed QueryOptions type cast from the fetch call and removed as any cast on select error assignment. Dropped the QueryOptions import.
Devtools: state type removal
packages/query-devtools/src/Devtools.tsx
Removed QueryState import and two QueryState<unknown, Error> casts in query details/state handling.

Poem

🐇 I nibbled casts and cleaned a line,
Hopped through imports, bright and fine,
Typo gone, the rabbits cheer,
Code a tad neater, light and clear.

546-551: Use a null-check for #selectError (don’t rely on truthiness).
Since TError is generic, a falsy thrown value (e.g. '' / 0) would currently skip the error path.

Proposed fix
- if (this.#selectError) {- error = this.#selectError+ if (this.#selectError !== null) {+ error = this.#selectError
data = this.#selectResult
errorUpdatedAt = Date.now()
status = 'error'
}
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
packages/query-devtools/src/Devtools.tsx (2)

1958-1966: LGTM removing the QueryState<unknown, Error> cast in setState.
One thing to keep an eye on: fetchMeta is being used as an escape hatch for __previousQueryOptions via as any; if you want to tighten this later, a dedicated side-channel (e.g., WeakMap<Query, QueryOptions>) avoids mutating fetchMeta’s shape.


2183-2202: LGTM removing the QueryState<unknown, Error> cast in the loading-path setState.
Same note as above: fetchMeta: { … } as any is still an intentional escape hatch; consider a side-channel if you ever want to remove the remaining any.

File: packages/solid-query-devtools/src/production.tsx:2-3
Timestamp: 2025-08-19T03:18:18.303Z
Learning: In the solid-query-devtools package, the codebase uses a pattern of type-only default imports combined with typeof for component type annotations (e.g., `import type SolidQueryDevtoolsComp from './devtools'` followed by `typeof SolidQueryDevtoolsComp`). This pattern is consistently used across index.tsx and production.tsx files, and the maintainers prefer consistency over changing this approach.

Timestamp: 2025-11-22T09:06:05.219Z
Learning: In TanStack/query test files, when a queryFn contains side effects (e.g., setting flags for test verification), prefer async/await syntax for clarity; when there are no side effects, prefer the .then() pattern for conciseness.

Timestamp: 2025-11-02T22:52:33.071Z
Learning: In the TanStack Query codebase, the new `query` and `infiniteQuery` methods support the `select` option for data transformation, while the legacy `fetchQuery` and `fetchInfiniteQuery` methods do not support `select` and should reject it at the type level.

🔇 Additional comments (3)
packages/query-core/src/query.ts (2)

390-406: Comment typo fix is fine (retryer).
No behavior change; the guard still reads correctly.


736-740: Good removal of the unnecessary cast around initialDataUpdatedAt() call.
Keeps intent clear and should still type-narrow correctly via the typeof === 'function' check.

packages/query-core/src/queryObserver.ts (1)

335-346: Passing this.options into Query.fetch directly looks correct.
Assuming QueryObserverOptions structurally contains QueryOptions (it should), this keeps types simpler without changing runtime behavior.
