type-plus
Provides additional types and type adjusted utilities for typescript
API
Identity type
Id<T>
: generic Id typecreateId<T>(type: T, value: string): Id<T>
: create idcreateIdCreator<T>(type: T): (value: string) => Id<T>
: create an id creator
Constant Types
JSONTypes
: all JSON compatible types.KeyTypes
: type of all keys.PrimitiveTypes
: all primitive types, including Function
, symbol
, and bigint
Object Key functions
filterKey()
: type adjusted filter by key.findKey()
: type adjusted find by key.forEachKey()
: type adjusted for each by key.HasKey<T, K>
: predicate type checking T
has key K
.hasKey()
: function of HasKey
.KeysWithDiffTypes<A, B>
: gets the keys common in A
and B
but with differnt value type.mapKey()
: type adjusted map by key.reduceKey()
: type adjusted reduce by key.someKey()
: type adjusted some by key.
Array function
literalArray(...entries)
: return an array those items are restricted to the provided literals.
Promise function
isPromise<R>(subject: any)
: isPromise()
type guard.PromiseValue<P>
: Gets the type within the Promise.mapSeries()
: Similar to bluebird.mapSeries()
but works with async
/await
.
Nominal Type
Flavor<FlavorT, T>
: a flavored nominal type.Brand<BrandT, T>
: a branded nominal type.createBrandCreator<BrandT, T>()
: creates a brand creator to create branded nominal type.
Type manipulation
ANotB<A, B>
: get object with properties in A
and not in B
, including properties with differnt value type.BNotA<A, B>
: flip of ANotB
Except<T, K>
: Deprecated. Same as Omit<T, K>
.ExcludePropType<T, U>
: excludes type U
from properties in T
.Omit<T, K>
: From T
, pick a set of properties whose keys are not in the union K
. This is the opposite of Pick<T, K>
.PartialExcept<T, U>
: Deprecated. Same as PartialOmit<T, U>
.PartialOmit<T, U>
: makes the properties not specified in U
becomes optional.PartialPick<T, U>
: makes the properties specified in U
becomes optional.RecursivePartial<T>
: make type T
optional recursively.RecursiveRequired<T>
: make type T
required recursively.RequiredPick<T, U>
: makes the properties specified in U
becomes required.RequiredExcept<T, U>
: makes the properties not specified in U
becomes required.RecursiveIntersect<T, U>
: intersect type U
onto T
recursively.ValueOf<T>
: type of the value of the properties of T
.- PropType: ...no helper type for this. Just do
YourType['propName']
.
Type Predicates
Type predicates are type alias that returns true
or false
.
They can be used to compose complex types.
HasKey<T, K>
: predicate type checking T
has key K
.IsDisjoint<A, B>
: is A
and B
is a disjoint set.IsSame<A, B>
: is A
and B
has the same properties and types.Not<T>
: not operator for type.
Type assertion
assignability<T>()
: creates a assignability function. To use it, do the following:
assertType.isTrue(assignability<YourType>()(subject))
assertType.isFalse(assignability<YourType>()(subject))
assertType<T>(subject)
: assert subject
satisfies type T
.assertType.isXXX(value)
: ensure typeof value
is XXX
assertType.noXXX(value)
: ensure typeof value
does not contain XXX
. i.e. cannot assign XXX
to value
.typeAssert.*
(deprecated) replaced by assertType
.typeAssertion<T>()
: creates a type assertion function of type T
type Foo = { a: number }
const assertIsFoo = typeAssertion<Foo>()
function createFoo() {
return assertIsFoo({ a: 1, b: 2 })
}
Utility Functions
facade(subject, ...props)
: create a facade of subject
.getField(subject, key, defaultValue)
: get a field from a subject. Works against nullable and optional subject.hasKey()
: function of HasKey
.pick(obj, ...props)
: pick properties from obj
.required(...)
: merge options and removing Partial<T>
. From unpartial
requiredDeep(...)
: merge options deeply and removing Partial<T>
. From unpartial
tryAssign<S, T>(from: S, to: T)
: try assign from
to to
. Return type never
if not possible.typeOverrideIncompatible<T>()
: override only the incompatiable portion between two types.
type A = {
foo: boolean,
bar: string,
baz: string
}
const overrider = typeOverrideIncompatible<A>()
const source = {
foo: 1,
bar: 'bar',
baz: 'baz'
}
overrider(source, { foo: !!source.foo })
Attribution
Some of the code in this library are created by other people in the TypeScript community.
I merely adding them in and may be making some adjustments.
When ever possible, I add attribution to the person who created those code in the file.
