@squawk/types

  @squawk/types

Shared TypeScript type definitions used across multiple @squawk packages. Contains types for core domain models that cross the logic/data/build-script boundary: aircraft, position, airports, navaids, fixes, airways, procedures, airspace, and aircraft registration.

Domain-specific types that are produced and consumed by a single package live in that package instead:

• Weather types (METAR, TAF, SIGMET, AIRMET, PIREP) are exported by @squawk/weather
• NOTAM types (ICAO and FAA domestic) are exported by @squawk/notams

Documentation

Part of the @squawk aviation library suite. See all packages on npm.

Installation

npm install @squawk/types

Usage

import type { Aircraft, Position, Airport, Navaid, Fix } from '@squawk/types';

All types are re-exported from the package root. See the documentation for the full reference.

Exported types by domain

Domain	Types
Aircraft (ADS-B)	Aircraft, AircraftCategory
Position	Position, Coordinates
Airport	Airport, Runway, RunwayEnd, IlsSystem, AirportFrequency, FacilityType, OwnershipType, FacilityUseType, FacilityStatus, SurfaceCondition, SurfaceTreatment, RunwayLighting, RunwayMarkingType, RunwayMarkingCondition, VgsiType, IlsCategory, IlsSystemType
Navaid	Navaid, NavaidType, NavaidStatus
Fix	Fix, FixUseCode, FixCompulsory, FixNavaidAssociation
Airway	Airway, AirwayWaypoint, AirwayType, AirwayRegion, AirwayWaypointType
Airspace	AirspaceFeature, AirspaceType, ArtccStratum, AltitudeBound, AltitudeReference
Procedure	Procedure, ProcedureType, ApproachType, ProcedureLeg, ProcedureLegPathTerminator, ProcedureLegFixCategory, ProcedureTransition, ProcedureCommonRoute, MissedApproachSequence, AltitudeConstraint, AltitudeConstraintDescriptor, SpeedConstraint, SpeedConstraintDescriptor, TurnDirection
Aircraft registration	AircraftRegistration, AircraftType, EngineType

The package also re-exports source-code lookup maps (FACILITY_TYPE_MAP, NAVAID_TYPE_MAP, AWY_TYPE_MAP, ATS_TYPE_MAP, AIRWAY_REGION_MAP, FIX_USE_CODE_MAP, FIX_COMPULSORY_MAP, NAVAID_STATUS_MAP, ILS_CATEGORY_MAP, ILS_SYSTEM_TYPE_MAP) used by the FAA NASR build pipelines to translate raw source-data values to the typed unions above. See the TypeDoc reference for full per-type signatures and field-level documentation.

Type guards

For the user-facing string-literal union types - the ones that flow in from URL params, config files, or MCP tool inputs - the package ships an is<Name> predicate paired with a <NAME>S const array as the single source of truth. Use the predicate to narrow an external string into the union without hand-rolling the membership list per consumer; use the const array as the value-side iteration target (e.g. building a lookup table keyed by the union):

import {
  AIRSPACE_TYPES,
  ARTCC_STRATA,
  FACILITY_TYPES,
  AIRWAY_TYPES,
  NAVAID_TYPES,
  FIX_USE_CODES,
  isAirspaceType,
  isArtccStratum,
  isFacilityType,
  isAirwayType,
  isNavaidType,
  isFixUseCode,
} from '@squawk/types';

const raw = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search).get('type') ?? '';
if (isAirspaceType(raw)) {
  // raw is now narrowed to AirspaceType
}

The arrays are branded with as const satisfies readonly <Type>[], so adding a new union member without updating the array fails the build.
