Output does not generate namespaces any more

Let's say I have some code like this in a React app:

import gql from 'graphql-tag'
import { useQuery } from '@apollo/client'

const query = gql`
  query DummyViewQuery {
    currentProfile {
      id
    }
  }
`

Before v1 my codegen config looked like this:

overwrite: true
schema: 'schema.json'
documents: ['src/fragments.ts', 'src/queries.ts', 'src/**/*.tsx']
generates:
  src/generated/graphql.tsx:
    plugins:
      - 'typescript-common'
      - 'typescript-client'
      - 'typescript-server'
      - 'typescript-react-apollo'
      - 'fragment-matcher'

After the upgrade to v1, now my config looks like this:

overwrite: true
schema: 'schema.json'
documents: ['src/fragments.ts', 'src/queries.ts', 'src/**/*.tsx']
generates:
  src/generated/graphql.tsx:
    config:
      globalNamespace: true
    plugins:
      - 'typescript'
      - 'typescript-operations'
      - 'typescript-react-apollo'

When I run gql-gen --config codegen.yml, that DummyViewQuery from above will end up in the generated file like this:

export type DummyViewQueryQuery = (
 )

Before v1 it got generated like this:

export namespace DummyViewQuery {
  ...
  export type Query = {

Basically, I guess what I would like to know is if there is some setting that would allow me to get the generated output with namespaces again, as it used to be.

Thanks a lot! adding typescript-compatibility works!

I'm shocked that having namespaces is no longer the default?? Am I setting myself up for disaster farther down the road? Should I stop using namespaces?
