Can I use "skip" with zQuery?

I'm trying to get a files metadata if a file id exists and "skip" would be perfect for that use case. When inspecting useQuery I can pass skip, but when I try it throws an error because of my zod schema in the query definition. Is there a workaround for this?

  const fileWithData = useQuery(
    api.files.getFile,
    stagedImageId
      ? {
          storageId: stagedImageId || "",
        }
      : "skip"
  );

  const fileWithData = useQuery(
    api.files.getFile,
    stagedImageId
      ? {
          storageId: stagedImageId || "",
        }
      : "skip"
  );

zQuery definition

export const zQuery = zCustomQuery(query, NoOp);

export const zQuery = zCustomQuery(query, NoOp);

I think this type error might be complaining that stagedImageId || "" has type string which isn't assignable to type Id<"_storage"> (which your function expects). So I'd expect the same type error to happen without the "skip" + once you fix the type error around stagedImageId the "skip" should work fine. You might want to cast stagedImageId to Id<"_storage">, or to have your function accept a string, and then verify that the string is actually a storage ID with ctx.db.normalizeId
