Is AstroGlobal defined in non-astro files (Typescript)?

[bitter stratus]

Hi, i'm trying to get the Astro.request object inside a typescript file - is this possible?
I'm using nodeJs and server mode (no static builds)

Use case: I want to use tRPC middlewares with Astro (without the astro-trpc plugin which works only for very narrow use cases)

How it works:
I have queries and mutations defined with trpc, and i'm building a trpc server instance to be able to use queries and mutations in SSR (instead of using a client instance, which i'm using on client side components)

https://trpc.io/docs/v10/server-side-calls

I've got everything working and a workaround would be to wrap router.createCaller(context) in a function

const rpcServer = (request: AstroRequest) => {
 // extract data from request object as const rpcContext = ....
 return router.createCaller(rpcContext)
}

But i'd like to avoid having to pass the request object whenever i want to use trpc calls inside .astro files

Edit: For clarification, this typescript file is only used server-side!

The Astro global is only defined in .astro files

I'm the creator of the astro-trpc tRPC adapter. To be honest I didn't use trpc a lot, when building the adapter I had one thing in mind: to be able to use tRPC in astro API routes.
If you have any suggestions please file an issue or if you want to help, submit a PR, it will be very welcome 🙂

it’s actually good for what it does

i’ve just extended my own trpc integration to include a query client and a react client (not so good, since there’s no global context in astro, but it get’s the job done with SWR)

yea, after experimenting with it, i kinda gave up

…even tried to cheat the system by exporting AstroGlobal from a .astro file and importing that in a ts file.. didn’t work either ^^

i guess i’ll just go with the workaround
