Summary

Some of the types Cedar generates and exports are made more precise. Code written by Cedar's generators and setup commands relies on them to type-check under TypeScript's strict mode, which will be the default in the future

What changed

  • @cedarjs/internal codegen: QueryResolvers and MutationResolvers fields are required properties (avoidOptionals.query/mutation; avoidOptionals.resolvers doesn't cover root types). Service functions typed as QueryResolvers['posts'] aren't possibly undefined when service tests call them.
  • @cedarjs/internal codegen: on the api side, JSON/JSONObject inputs are Prisma.InputJsonValue/Prisma.InputJsonObject, so they can be passed straight to Prisma. The web side is unchanged.
  • @cedarjs/auth: new LoggedInUser type, and CurrentUser is LoggedInUser | null. LoggedInUser is the user getCurrentUser returns when someone is logged in. CurrentUser now matches what getCurrentUser and useAuth().currentUser actually hold. The null | CurrentUser unions in @cedarjs/auth and the auth providers become CurrentUser. The built-in useCurrentUser hook is typed Promise<CurrentUser>, since it returns null when nobody is logged in (its runtime behavior is unchanged).
  • @cedarjs/internal: the generated all-currentUser.d.ts extends LoggedInUser with InferredLoggedInUser, which is NonNullable<...> of getCurrentUser's return type. With strictNullChecks, an interface can't extend a type that includes null (TS2312), so the generated file doesn't compile in strict apps without this. context.currentUser is typed LoggedInUser-shaped, null or undefined: GraphQL leaves it unset when nobody is logged in, and functions wrapped in useRequireAuth set it to whatever getCurrentUser returned, including null.
  • @cedarjs/internal: the stub @storybook/react types (used when Storybook isn't installed) type render's parameters, so generated stories don't hit noImplicitAny.
  • @cedarjs/uploads: tokenSecret accepts string | undefined (the plugin already throws a configuration error when it's missing), and createUploadAuthenticator's getCurrentUser takes decoded: Decoded, matching app getCurrentUser functions.
  • @cedarjs/api: MemcachedClient accepts servers: string | undefined, as memjs does.
  • docs/docs/typescript/generated-types.md describes CurrentUser and LoggedInUser.
  • .changesets/release_notes_v8.md: new "More precise generated types" section, with upgrade steps.

Breaking changes

  • CurrentUser includes null. In strict apps, code that uses CurrentUser for a user known to be logged in needs LoggedInUser. Apps without strict mode see no difference, since TypeScript ignores null there.
  • CurrentUser is a type alias, so declare module '@cedarjs/auth' { interface CurrentUser ... } is a type error. Extend LoggedInUser instead. Cedar's generated types already do.
  • context.currentUser can be null. In strict apps, code that narrows it with !== undefined needs a truthiness check instead.
  • Required QueryResolvers/MutationResolvers fields: an object typed as a whole QueryResolvers has to implement every field.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Authentication
    • Authentication types now distinguish a logged-in user from a possibly absent current user. Role-check hooks require a logged-in user, and API context may have no current user.
  • Configuration
    • Memcached server settings can be omitted to use environment-variable or localhost defaults.
    • Upload configuration reports an error when the token secret is missing or empty.
  • GraphQL
    • API JSON inputs use Prisma input types, and API query and mutation resolver fields are required. Web and API JSON scalar types are mapped appropriately.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance explains the authentication types and how to use them.
📝 Summary
📝 Summary

Walkthrough

The PR updates GraphQL and Storybook generated types, separates the LoggedInUser and CurrentUser auth types, and narrows auth-provider callback types. It also updates Memcached and upload configuration types.

Changes

Generated types

Layer / File(s) Summary
GraphQL generated types
packages/internal/src/generate/graphqlCodeGen.ts, packages/internal/src/__tests__/graphqlCodeGen.test.ts
API JSON inputs use Prisma input types. Web JSON mappings and API output mappings use Prisma output types. Generated query and mutation resolver fields are non-optional. Tests check the side-specific mappings.
Fallback Storybook declarations
packages/internal/src/generate/typeDefinitions.ts
Fallback declarations use StubStoryAnnotations for Meta and StoryObj instead of any.

Authentication user types

Layer / File(s) Summary
Auth current-user contract
packages/auth/src/*, packages/auth/src/AuthProvider/*, packages/auth/src/authFactory.ts
AuthContext defines LoggedInUser and CurrentUser as `LoggedInUser
Auth provider callback types
packages/auth-providers/*/web/src/*, packages/auth-providers/*/web/src/__tests__/*
Auth-provider useHasRole callbacks and test implementations use CurrentUser instead of `CurrentUser
Generated logged-in-user declarations
packages/internal/src/generate/templates/*, packages/internal/src/__tests__/typeDefinitions.test.ts, docs/docs/typescript/generated-types.md, .changesets/release_notes_v8.md
Generated declarations use InferredLoggedInUser for non-null user shapes and permit null for GlobalContext.currentUser. The documentation and release notes describe the updated auth types and upgrade guidance.

Cache and upload configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upload authentication and secret validation
packages/uploads/src/authenticator.ts, packages/uploads/src/fastify/plugin.ts
The authenticator types its decoded-session argument as Decoded. Upload options permit an undefined token secret, and plugin registration rejects a missing or empty secret.
Optional Memcached server argument
packages/api/src/cache/clients/MemcachedClient.ts
The constructor accepts an undefined server argument and documents the memjs fallback settings.




Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7ecf2

The authentication test helper’s explicit-null behavior is consistent with the generated context types. No actionable user-facing or operational risk remains; the PR is ready for normal checks.

[High impact] The PR appears safe to merge; the previous mock typing failure is fixed.

Summary

This PR makes generated and exported types more precise for strict TypeScript apps.

  • Auth types distinguish a logged-in user from a missing current user.
  • Generated API resolvers and JSON inputs match strict app types.
  • Package type definitions accept values strict apps already use.
