2.0.0 typescript error in Apollo Provider, missing method in interface

[jbiros91]

Intended outcome:
Upgrading from 1.x release to the 2.x release.

Actual outcome:
Types of property 'client' are incompatible.
Type 'ApolloClient<NormalizedCache>' is not assignable to type 'ApolloClient<Cache>'.
Type 'NormalizedCache' is not assignable to type 'Cache'.
Property 'add' is missing in type 'NormalizedCache'.

How to reproduce the issue:
Install react apollo in a typescript project and run tsc

Version

• apollo-client@<2.0.1>
• react-apollo@<2.0.0>

Rather than using the Cache type, which is defined in the TypeScript lib.dom.d.ts declaration file, for the generic parameter to ProviderProps in the ApolloProvider class, it may be more appropriate to use any to let the type flow through when the client is created. It may also be less confusing if the generic type parameter was renamed to something like TCache in the ProviderProps interface definition so it's not confused with the Cache type.

I tested this change in the ApolloProvider.d.ts file and noticed the error went away and the client was properly typed as NormalizedCache when defining the cache as InMemoryCache.
