Fix queryCollectionOptions so wrapped responses work with transforming schemas. Selected rows now retain the schema output type while collection mutations continue to accept schema input.

Root cause

The schema-plus-select overload inherited select from QueryCollectionConfig as an output-row selector, then intersected it with a second declaration returning schema input. That required transforming schemas to satisfy incompatible return types. The metadata-preserving select feature introduced this in #551, but its tests used schemas whose input and output were identical, so the intersection stayed invisible.

Approach

  • Omit the inherited select property before redeclaring the specialized overload.
  • Require the selector to return InferSchemaOutput<T>, matching the rows that are written directly into synchronized collection state.
  • Add a transforming string -> Date type oracle covering wrapped response selection, output reads, input mutations, and an input-shaped hostile selector.

Key invariants

  • Query cache data keeps the original wrapped response shape.
  • select materializes schema output rows.
  • Insert and update paths still accept schema input.
  • Runtime behavior and emitted JavaScript are unchanged.

Non-goals

This does not introduce separate select/insert/update schemas or change direct CollectionImpl inference. Those are broader public API design questions.

Trade-offs

Changing only the redeclared return type would compile today, but retaining two intersected select declarations could recreate the contradiction later. Omitting the base property makes the specialization explicit.

Verification

pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p packages/query-db-collection/tsconfig.json
pnpm --filter @tanstack/query-db-collection test
pnpm --filter @tanstack/query-db-collection build

Local results:

  • Transforming-schema witness: RED on main, GREEN with the fix.
  • Input-return mutant: rejected the valid selector and made the hostile expectation unused.
  • Query Collection runtime suite: 14 files, 426 tests passed.
  • Package typecheck and declaration/runtime build passed.
  • ESLint, Prettier, and git diff --check passed.

Files changed

  • packages/query-db-collection/src/query.ts: make the schema-plus-select overload consistently output-typed.
  • packages/query-db-collection/tests/query.test-d.ts: add exact transforming-schema contract coverage and hostile controls.
  • .changeset/fix-query-schema-select-output.md: record the patch-level fix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved schema type inference for query collections using selectors.
    • Selectors can now unwrap rows from wrapped query responses while preserving transformed schema output types.
    • Collection reads and key access use schema output types, while inserts and other mutations continue accepting schema input types.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for transformed fields and validation of accepted selector and mutation types.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The schema-aware queryCollectionOptions overload now types select with schema output rows and supports wrapped query responses. Type-level tests verify transformed read values and unchanged schema input types for mutations.

Changes

Schema Select Output Typing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Select output contract
packages/query-db-collection/src/query.ts, .changeset/fix-query-schema-select-output.md
The overload adds a query data type parameter, types select input from the query function result, and requires schema output rows. A patch changeset records the update.
Select output type validation
packages/query-db-collection/tests/query.test-d.ts
Type-level tests verify that selected transformed rows use output types for reads, inserts continue to require schema input types, and selectors returning input rows are rejected.
