In which scenarios, status could be null

#

Also the Status type has 6 values

#

#

But in the Stripe documentation it only has 5 https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/overview#invoice-statuses

#

Could you help me figure out this?

#

I think the Doc is correct and TypeScript might be mis-configured

short basalt Sep 29, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

How about deleted status?

#

smoky plover I think the Doc is correct and TypeScript might be mis-configured

Did you mean that it will never be null and it will not have deleted status?

smoky plover Sep 29, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

I am not sure myself and looking into it. My understanding is we don't have a deleted status for Invoice regardless of any server/client language

short basalt Sep 29, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

Cool, I read somewhere that draft invoices could be deleted. So maybe deleted status could be coming from that

#

I'll wait for your answer 👼

Yes it's this section https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/overview#deleted but I can't find it

#

Cool, I'll delete a draft invoice and see.

#

For the null issue, shouldn't the typescript file be generated from the actual SDK code?

smoky plover Sep 29, 2022, 2:51 AM

#

Can you tell me which file are you looking at, inside the Node JS SDK?

short basalt Sep 29, 2022, 2:53 AM

#

For now I am only looking at the types. So
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/blob/master/types/2022-08-01/Invoices.d.ts#L862

GitHub

stripe-node/Invoices.d.ts at master · stripe/stripe-node

#

Another weird thing is that, I see the delete button for draft invoices only for some

smoky plover Sep 29, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

Thanks! I found that Invoice which doesn't belong to Subscription can be deleted as the Doc says. But its Id should disappear, not moving it to an deleted status at all

#

It's standalone Invoice vs Subscription Invoice

short basalt Sep 29, 2022, 3:00 AM

#

Cool, what you meant is once deleted, it will be deleted forever, right?

#

So there is no deleted status at all

smoky plover Sep 29, 2022, 3:09 AM

#

I believe so. Probably the TypeScript SDK is not up-to-date

short basalt Sep 29, 2022, 3:10 AM

#

Cool, thank you @smoky plover for your help.

#

I was going to create an issue, but looks like someone beat me to it

#

https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node/issues/1394

GitHub

Why is `status` nullable on `Invoice` type? · Issue #1394 · stripe/...

The API docs do not indicate that it should be possible for an invoice to have a null status, but the typings indicate that this is possibe: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_obje...

#

But the Golang SDK also has deleted status

#

I'll add an issue for that
