Typing a shared TRPC provider for testing
Context:
- We have a monorepo with several micro-frontends which use Next.
- We're moving to using tRPC to communicate between the front end and Next backend
- We test our components with React Testing Library
- We have a shared package for our testing utils, including a render method that renders a component for testing with all required providers (Theme, i18n, etc etc)
Problem:
We want to add a tRPC provider to the providers that our custom render method wraps around the component under test, so that components that use tRPC queries/mutations can be tested with RTL. The basic idea is something like this:

import { AnyRouter } from '@trpc/server';
export const testTRPC = createTRPCReact<AnyRouter>();
export const TRPCWrapper = ({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) => {
const queryClient = new QueryClient();
const trpcClient = testTRPC.createClient({
links: [
httpLink({
url: `http://localhost/trpc`,
}),
],
});
return (
<testTRPC.Provider client={trpcClient} queryClient={queryClient}>
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>
</testTRPC.Provider>
);
};
but TypeScript complains about
testTRPC.createClient
:Property 'createClient' does not exist on type '"The property 'useContext' in your router collides with a built-in method, rename this router or procedure on your backend." | "The property 'Provider' in your router collides with a built-in method, rename this router or procedure on your backend." | "The property 'createClient' in your router collides with a built...'.
and
testTRPC.Provider
:Property 'Provider' does not exist on type '"The property 'useContext' in your router collides with a built-in method, rename this router or procedure on your backend." | "The property 'Provider' in your router collides with a built-in method, rename this router or procedure on your backend." | "The property 'createClient' in your router collides with a built...'.
I'm guessing the usage of
AnyRouter
is the problem here, but really not sure what type I can provide here, since it could be the AppRouter
from any one of our micro-frontends - perhaps something using generics?I have this exact problem!
Ended up putting the code in
src
but in the package root I have index.ts
that exports everything I want to make available. Super simple tsconfig. I'm sure there's another way but I gave up.
