Apollo-client: `gc` function missing from TypeScript definitions for ApolloCache (3.0.0-beta.36)

Created on 19 Feb 2020  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: apollographql/apollo-client

Intended outcome:
I am trying out the new evict and gc methods introduced in Apollo Client 3, as described in the docs Garbage collection and cache eviction docs.

Based on the docs, I expected to see both gc and evict as available methods on the ApolloCache object.

Actual outcome:

The TypeScript definitions for ApolloCache seem to be missing the gc method. This means that I can't see the gc method in intellisense or use the method without workarounds (such as casting cache to type any).

How to reproduce the issue:

In my React component, I grabbed a reference to the cache like so:

const { cache } = useApolloClient();

This returns me an ApolloCache object. I see evict in the list of available methods, but not gc.

@hwillson This seems like a quick follow-up to #5956? The default implementation of ApolloCache#gc can just return [], and InMemoryCache will override it with the real implementation.

Implemented in https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/pull/5974 - thanks @justinwaite!
