Why function for applying query returns void instead of a promise?

[illyakurochkin]

I'm using these plugins:

- typescript
- typescript-operations
- typescript-react-apollo

And when I generate hooks from operations I receive something like this.

const [fetch, {data, loading}] = useGetSomethingLazyQuery();
...
await fetch(); // I can't do that because `fetch` return type is void

Why can't it return a promise, like for mutations?

React Apollo plugin is just a wrapper on top Apollo's own implementation. Codegen adds nothing special to their own useLazyQuery function. So it might be better to ask this on React Apollo's repo or Apollo's own community channel.

Upgrade to Apollo 3.5 or higher. From that version on, useLazyQuery will return a Promise
