Discussion & Feedback: RTK Query TypeScript Language Service Plugin

[flycran]

I'm the author of rtk-to-endpoints, a TypeScript Language Service Plugin specifically designed for RTK Query.

Background

In Issue #5244, I proposed the idea of official support or recommendation for a plugin that enhances the IDE navigation experience. This Discussion aims to collect community feedback and understand real-world needs.

The Problem

When using RTK Query, have you ever experienced:

• Using "Go to Definition" on useGetUserQuery() jumps to complex type definitions instead of the endpoint definition in createApi?
• Frequently needing to switch between hook usage and endpoint implementation in larger codebases?

Plugin Features

• Jump directly from hooks to endpoint definitions
• Support for multiple hook patterns: useXxxQuery, useLazyXxxQuery, useXxxMutation, useXxxQueryState, useXxxInfiniteQuery, etc.
• Supports both destructuring and property access patterns

Questions for the Community

1. Have you encountered similar IDE navigation issues when using RTK Query?
2. Would you consider using this plugin if it were recommended in the official documentation?
3. What additional features or improvements would you like to see?
4. Do you have any suggestions for official integration or endorsement?

Looking forward to your feedback! 🙏
