Research and compare new rover persisted query manifest generator with npm package
Author: jerelmillerCreated Jul 13, 2026Updated Jul 13, 2026
Rover has a new pq manifest generate command. We need to test it to see if it covers what we expect from the Apollo Client side so that we can deprecate the existing @apollo/generate-persisted-query-manifest npm package.
Some things we will need to check:
- Apollo Client v3 compatibility (
addTypenamecontrols whether__typenameis added) - Apollo Client v4 compatibility (
__typenameis always added) - Custom document transforms
- What docs replacements we would need
My biggest concern is custom document transforms capability. I know of at least one business entity that relies heavily on them.
