Uh oh. Just added JS as a target to my multiplatform project where my GraphQL schema happens to declare a lot of types/fragments whatever with a “name” type defined in there like:

type SomeType {
  name: String
}

And it’s crashing since JS doesn’t like it with error:

JavaScript name (name) generated for this declaration clashes with another declaration: fun name(): String

. Is there some way to automatically map those names to something else, maybe like “name_” or something smarter I must think about without annoying literally everyone about this limitation 😂 just like how we can map GraphQL types to Kotlin types?

Yea, changing variable names works. If that ever happens for fields, you can use aliases too

Yeah, but then it’d be on a per-field alias right? No way to make it global? I guess it wouldn’t be that bad with some search & replace automation

Interesting! The code gen escapes Java and Kotlin keywords, so maybe it could also escape JS keywords, although shouldn’t it be the job of the KotlinJS compiler? 🤔

I'm still unclear about what the rules are for JS. Looks like in this case, it's more about a clash (variable with the same name as method?) than the usage of a reserved keyword?

oh yeah not clear

Yeah there is an auto-generated

name

variable for all JS classes as far as I understand, it’s not a keyword in that case. But in any way, it doesn’t seem like you need to occupy your minds with this as it only was a problem for the variable names in the query itself, like here:

query SomeQuery($name: String!) {
  query(name: $name) {
    // stuff
  }
}

Changing it to

query SomeQuery($moreSpecificWord: String!) {
  query(name: $moreSpecificWord) {
    // stuff
  }
}

Compiles just fine as I can see it rn
