Typescript mismatch between mongodb <Collection> and apollo-datasources-mongodb <Collection-CodePudding

The typescript demo for apollo-datasources-mongodb no longer works. It generates the same error that my own code is generating:

--- ERROR ---

Argument of type 'import("C:/Users/user/Code/development/server/node_modules/mongodb/mongodb").Collection<import("C:/Users/user/Code/development/server/node_modules/bson/bson").Document>' is not assignable to parameter of type 'import("C:/Users/user/Code/development/server/node_modules/apollo-datasource-mongodb/node_modules/@types/mongodb/index").Collection<import("C:/Users/user/Code/development/server/node_modules/bson/bson").Document>'. Type 'Collection' is missing the following properties from type 'Collection': geoHaystackSearch, group, parallelCollectionScan, reIndex, savet

--- APOLLO SERVER ---

const server : ApolloServer = new ApolloServer({ schema : authorizedSchema
        , dataSources: () => ({  
            users: new Test( mongoClient.db("myapp").collection("users") ) // intellisense highlights the input to new Test as the error
        })
        , context: async ( { req } ) => { await verifyAccessToken( req ) }
        , csrfPrevention: true
    });

  },

It seems that there is a mismatch between the <Collection> from MongoClient and the <Collection> in apollo-datasources-mongodb.

That is the mongodb <Collection> not fitting with the apollo-datasource-mongodb <Collection> type, right?

Am I missing something?

EDIT:

I tried extending the MongoDB Collection with the missing properties set to optional. That got past the error about those properties to the mongodb types and now I get another error that a different property is wrong.

CodePudding user response：

Please try updating the apollo server packages in your dependencies to the latest version.

"apollo-server": "^3.10.1",
"apollo-server-core": "^3.10.1"

CodePudding user response：

The newest versions of MongoDB has built in types, but apollo-datasources-mongodb is using the following types file:

"@types/mongodb": "^3.5.27"

By drawing the Collection type from this location the error was resolved.
