I want the GraphQLClient instance to return response headers along with data

[ellvtr]

What

I am looking for a way to append the response headers to all responses from my GraphQLClient instance.
Does anyone know how to do that?

I have this setup in a very large application:

const graphQLClientInternal = new GraphQLClient(endpoint, { requestMiddleware, responseMiddleware });
export const graphQLClient = getSdk(graphQLClientInternal);

The 'getSdk' wrapper comes from "@graphql-codegen" which generates TS types from the backend's graphql schema.
We use that exported graphQLClient in hundreds of places allover the application UI.

Why

I need to access the response headers in all the places that consume the GraphQLClient instance. If there is something to be logged or an error in the data, I need to use the "traceparent" header from the client and display it.

How

I thought that responseMiddleware could help with that, the headers are in there as the response: GraphQLClientResponse<T> argument to the responseMiddleware method.

But as the responseMiddleware doesn't get to return anything, I don't get to modify what is passed down the line. Sure, I can modify the 'data' part but that's a hack. Ideally, I'd like the client to return both data and headers.

Is there place to discuss with other users?
We could use Gitter - see https://app.gitter.im/#/room/#graphql-request:gitter.im

Are you saying you want to extend ExecutionResult type with a new httpResponse field?

I later found out, that using rawRequest provides response headers and all other data. Unfortunately, the auto generated "getSdk" has TS errors in that case, plus some other issues. I don't have access to that code anymore, so I don't recall the exact issues.
