Optimistic option on ApolloClient.readQuery

See original GitHub issue

Pre 2.0 I believe that client.readQuery would also return optimistic mutation results. After upgrading to 2.0 most of my optimistic code broke since I use it in tandem with subscriptions. In the subscription (for a new message) I would read the store and check if an optimistic result was there (designated by a negative ID) and not do anything with the subscription if that were the case. Now that doesn’t work anymore. I did some digging and saw that the apollo-cache package now has an optimistic: boolean param in the readQuery function which would solve my issues but it doesn’t seem to be accessible to the apollo-client package. Is this intentional or just a missing API that needs to be written?

it’s the same as the result of this.initProxy() so yes, you’ll need to pass true as the second prop to query in the optimistic results too
