The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize.

Hey, there I am running into this error when I have more than 12 routers in the mergeRouters function.

The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize. An explicit type annotation is needed.

version: latest related: https://github.com/trpc/trpc/issues/2568 // that din't work for me.

Are you able to share your code?

HussamOP•3y ago

it's a private repo, I can share snippet if you like to. I am referring to cal.com setup, my local setup for cal.com also error out the same way. https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/blob/main/packages/trpc/server/routers/viewer.tsx#LL1281C20-L1281C20,

export const appRouter = mergeRouters(
    router12,
    router({
        router1, 
        router2,
        router3,
        router4,
        router5,
        router6,
        router7,
        router8,
        router9
        router10,
        router11,
        // router13,
        // router14,
        // router15,
    }),
);

export const appRouter = mergeRouters(
    router12,
    router({
        router1, 
        router2,
        router3,
        router4,
        router5,
        router6,
        router7,
        router8,
        router9
        router10,
        router11,
        // router13,
        // router14,
        // router15,
    }),
);

uncommenting any of the last three gives that type error on appRouter

Interesting I think it's worth opening a fresh issue for this, but it would be very helpful to have a reproduction repo

HussamOP•3y ago

Oh and I forgot to mention, it works when I set declaration: false in tsconfig.json. I dont know, if that's okay or will have cons for it

Nick•3y ago

Just to be sure, do you have strict:true enabled? That can help a lot of perf things

HussamOP•3y ago

yup, it's set to true

Nick•3y ago

Great I'd open a GitHub issue then

HussamOP•3y ago

sure, thanks.

trash•3y ago

in the past we have recommended turning off that option if you dont need it https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#declaration tldr; it generate a d.ts file for every file. which is unnecessary in most cases

Just for my own sanity, why are you merging 2 un-namespaced routers with the second one an already merged set of namespaced routers?

HussamOP•3y ago

just so that I get to question right Did you mean I could do this instead ?

export const appRouter = mergeRouters(
        router12,
        router1, 
        router2,
        router3,
      ......
);

export const appRouter = mergeRouters(
        router12,
        router1, 
        router2,
        router3,
      ......
);

I followed this setup, https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/blob/main/packages/trpc/server/routers/viewer.tsx#LL1281C20-L1281C20, Also, thanks you made me realize router() is Deprecated https://trpc.io/docs/typedoc/server/functions/router-1#deprecated

mark salsbery•3y ago

Yes that’s what i meant…or use router({…}) for namespaced endpoints. I’ve never seen the two mixed so I’m curious https://trpc.io/docs/server/merging-routers#merging-with-tmergerouters

Merging Routers | tRPC

Writing all API-code in your code in the same file is not a great idea. It's easy to merge routers with other routers.

HussamOP•3y ago

I moved everything into router({ }) , and the type error is gone. Just a head ups @Nick Lucas, it's fixed for me now. I hadn't created a github issue, as I couldn't reproduce the issue easily. thanks a lot all of you.
