Skipping useQuery with typescript
I'm wondering if there is a way to skip a query in a typescript friendly way?
rtk-query has a handy skipToken that can be used to opt out of the query (https://redux-toolkit.js.org/rtk-query/usage-with-typescript#skipping-queries-with-typescript-using-skiptoken). I see that tanstack has an enabled option, however, it seems with the trpc react hook API you must still pass a typesafe query input.
Is there anything I'm missing? How is this intended to work?Usage With TypeScript | Redux Toolkit

Yes you want
enabled. I don't follow why type-safety would be a problem though? Type are only checked at compile-time, so if you're assigning an invalid variable to the query enabling/disabling isn't going to help with thatIf you have an optional parameter to a component and need to run a query conditionally like
It will fail the typecheck because
{ param: undefined } is not a valid query
With rtk-query style skip token this would look like
Which can pass type-checking because skipToken is a valid arg to useQueryGot it
A skip token can just be a variable of type “any”
Yes, I can make the types pass with assertions, but keeping 2 arguments in sync is both inconvenient and error prone.
I was hoping there was another why which I was missing.
