fix: InferGetServerSidePropsType and InferGetStaticPropsType (#40635)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## Problem

Currently the Next.js infer utility (`InferGetServerSidePropsType` and
`InferGetStaticPropsType`) types can lead to a wrong inferred types
(`never`). This happens if these functions return something different
than: `{props: {}}`.

**Example:** `getServerSideProps`

```typescript
export async function getServerSideProps({ query }: GetServerSidePropsContext) {
  if (query.foo) {
    return {
      notFound: true,
    }
  }

  return {
    props: { 
      foo: "bar"
    },
  }
}

type PageProps = InferGetServerSidePropsType<typeof getServerSideProps>
// => type PageProps = never
```

**Example:** `getStaticProps`

```typescript
import type { InferGetStaticPropsType, GetStaticPropsContext } from 'next'

export async function getStaticProps(context: GetStaticPropsContext) {
  if (context.params?.bar) {
    return {
      notFound: true,
    }
  }

  return {
    props: {
      foo: 'bar',
    },
  }
}

type PageProps = InferGetStaticPropsType<typeof getStaticProps>
// => type PageProps = never
```

This is because the first infer condition of the utility type is not
satified leading to a never result.

```typescript
export type InferGetServerSidePropsType<T> = T extends GetServerSideProps<
  infer P, // <- NOT SATISFIED
  any
>
  ? P
  : T extends (
      context?: GetServerSidePropsContext<any>
    ) => Promise<GetServerSidePropsResult<infer P>>
  ? P
  : never  // <- NOT SATISFIED
```

## Solution

I have experimented with different solutions ending with a much simpler
type, that is faster to execute, easier to read and universally usable
for both prop variations.

```typescript
/**
 * Flow:
 * - Make sure getStaticProps is a function
 * - Get its return type
 * - Extract the one that contains {props: any}
 * - Return the props
 */
export type InferGetStaticPropsType<T extends (args: any) => any> = Extract<
  Awaited<ReturnType<T>>,
  { props: any }
>['props']
```

## Future thoughts

Since `InferGetStaticPropsType` and `InferGetServerSidePropsType` are
now the same, it's api could be merged into one utility type (e.g:
InferNextProps). I recommend doing this in a different PR.

## Additional info

I have tested this approach using the following [external
package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/infer-next-props-type)
(@timneutkens sorry for the late PR). Since about 12 Month I haven't
received any negative feedback (issues) regarding this approach.
