Readable-Types

With Readable-Types, you can create TypeScript types that are easy to read and understand. The library provides a set of intuitive and expressive utilities for defining complex types, reducing the need for manual type checking and making your code more reliable.

Whether you're building a small project or a large enterprise application, Readable Types can help you save time and reduce errors by providing a more readable and maintainable way to define your types.

In addition to making type creation more manageable, Readable Types also includes a suite of testing utilities to help ensure that your types are correct and reliable. With support for both unit and integration testing, you can rest assured that your types are functioning as expected.

Installation

To add the library to your project just need to run:

npm

npm install readable-types

yarn

yarn add readable-types

Usage

Our library provides a comprehensive set of TypeScript utility functions that are ready to use out of the box. Simply import the library into your project or file, and its all!.

Here's a quick example of how you might use Readable-Types in your project:

import { IsString, IsNumber, Modify } from 'readable-types';

type A = { a: string, b: number }

type isNumber = IsNumber<A['b']>;
//   ^? true
type isString = IsString<A['b']>;
//   ^? false

type B = Modify<A, { a: number, c: object }>
//   ^? { a: number, b: number, c: object }

Testing with Readable-Types

In order to verify that your types are functioning as expected, it's essential to implement testing. Readable-Types provides a suite of utilities to aid in this process. You can write your tests in several different ways based on your preferences and requirements.

Here's how to do it:

1. Basic Syntax

The simplest way to create tests is by using the testType function inside a describeType block:

describeType('MyType', () => {
  testType('Should behave as expected', () => {
    type MyType = /* Your type here... */;
    type ExpectedType = /* Expected result here... */;
    // More types...

    assertType<MyType>().equals<ExpectedType>(),
    // More assertions...
  });
});

2. Using Array

describeType('MyType', () => {
  testType('Should behave as expected', [
    assertType<MyType>().equals<ExpectedType>(),
    assertType<MyType>().not.equals<UnexpectedType>(),
    // More assertions...
  ]);
});

3. Using Object

describeType('MyType', () => {
  testType('Should behave as expected', {
    test1: assertType<MyType>().equals<ExpectedType>(),
    test2: assertType<MyType>().equals<ExpectedType>(),
    'MyType should equal ExpectedType': assertType<MyType>().equals<ExpectedType>(),
    'really any text': assertType<MyType>().equals<ExpectedType>(),
    // More labeled assertions...
  });
});

Execute Test

To test with our library, we use the TypeScript compiler reading the AST. For "run" the test you need to ejecute:

rtft

Additionally, we recommend adding this command to your Husky pre-commit hook to ensure that any changes to these files are caught before they are committed to the repository.

These are the basic ways to create type tests with Readable-Types. Remember, testing your types is crucial to maintain robust and bug-free TypeScript code. Happy testing!
