remove-graphql-typename

library1.0.2jsnpmunverified

A utility that recursively removes all __typename properties from GraphQL responses. Version 1.0.2 provides a single pure function that walks through objects and arrays and deletes any key named __typename. It ships with TypeScript types and is released as a stable package. Compared to alternatives like apollo's removeTypenameFromVariables, this package focuses solely on responses and does not modify the original object. It is a zero-dependency, lightweight solution for cleaning up Apollo Client or Relay responses before caching or serializing. The package is maintained with weekly downloads in the low thousands and an MIT license.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import removeTypename from 'remove-graphql-typename';

✗ import { removeTypename } from 'remove-graphql-typename';

The package exports a default function only. Named import will result in undefined.

default

✓ const removeTypename = require('remove-graphql-typename');

✗ const { removeTypename } = require('remove-graphql-typename');

CommonJS require works with default export. Destructuring will fail as there is no named export.

type (TypeScript)

✓ import removeTypename from 'remove-graphql-typename';

✗ import type { removeTypename } from 'remove-graphql-typename';

The package types are auto-inferred from the function signature. Attempting a named type import will error because there is no named export.

Demonstrates recursively removing __typename from a GraphQL response object.

import removeTypename from 'remove-graphql-typename'; const data = { __typename: 'Query', items: [ { __typename: 'Item', id: '1', name: 'foo' }, { __typename: 'Item', id: '2', name: 'bar' } ] }; const cleaned = removeTypename(data); console.log(cleaned); // { items: [ { id: '1', name: 'foo' }, { id: '2', name: 'bar' } ] }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe function mutates the original object? No – it does not mutate the original object. It returns a new object with __typename removed. However, nested objects that are not __typename are still references to the original objects (shallow copy).

fix

If you need deep immutability, consider using JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data)) before calling removeTypename.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe function only removes keys named exactly '__typename'. It will not remove any other keys that resemble it (e.g., '__Typename' with different casing).

fix

Ensure your data uses the exact key '__typename'. If you have variations, you may need a custom solution.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: removeTypename is not a function

Named import instead of default import.

fix

Use 'import removeTypename from 'remove-graphql-typename'' or 'const removeTypename = require('remove-graphql-typename')'

Cannot read property 'map' of undefined

Passing null or undefined to removeTypename.

fix

Ensure the argument is an object or array. Check: if (data) removeTypename(data);
