Cannot use enum values imported from GraphQL Codegen types

Question

Whenever I import enums from graphql-codegen generated types and use their values, the app fails to start.

import { MyEnum } from 'graphql-types.ts';

let x: MyEnum; // This works
x = MyEnum.MY_ENUM_VALUE; // Whenever I use this code, it fails

TypeScript does not show any errors in the code, but the app fails to run showing the error message below.

...

have you tried naming your identifier as something other than Document? — Damian Green

Use

export const name = gql`
    query name {

instead of:

export const name = gql`
    query {

Your identifier name is likely clashing with an ambient type definition.
