Very long generated names for SQL-in-TS

Example:

sql`
insert into users(email, stripe_id, password)
values($email, $stripe_id, $password)
returning *
`

Generated:

export interface ISqlSignupQueryInsertIntoUsersEmailStripeIdPasswordValuesEmailStripeIdPasswordReturningQuery {
  params: ISqlSignupQueryInsertIntoUsersEmailStripeIdPasswordValuesEmailStripeIdPasswordReturningParams;
  result: ISqlSignupQueryInsertIntoUsersEmailStripeIdPasswordValuesEmailStripeIdPasswordReturningResult;
}

That’s 92 characters.

I tried including a comment with @name but it didn’t have any effect. It would be great if it worked and allows users to give names to queries.

@adelsz thanks for the workaround! I played around with possible solutions a bit.

It looks like there is a hard requirement in the parser to have something of the form of

const query = sql`...`

Which means I can’t do

const insertUser = await sqlx(
    sql`
    insert into users(email, stripe_id, password)
    values($email, $stripe_id, $password)
    returning *
`,
    {
        email,
        password,
        stripe_id,
    }
);

I think it would be a nice usability improvement to make concise statements like mine possible. Splitting up is totally okay but introduces some redundancy imo.

Would you be open to allowing something like /* @name Signup */ in the sql template literals? I wouldn’t mind helping out and submitting a PR.

Sorry for the late reply @chmln. We can allow @name declarations in TS literals as a workaround for your specific usecase. Please feel free to open a PR.
