@alloc/path-types
A simple package for type-level manipulation of route paths (i.e. /foo/:bar
)
Usage
The two types included are InferParams
and PathTemplate
.
The InferParams
type expects a route path string literal. It tells the type checker how to parse route paths in order to extract “route parameter names” (the :bar
part in /foo/:bar
) from them. It returns an object type whose keys are the route parameters. By default, the property values are a string
type, but this can be customized with the 2nd type parameter.
type Params = InferParams<'/foo/:bar'>
// => { bar: string }
The PathTemplate
type also expects a route path string literal. It returns a template string type where the route parameters are replaced with ${string}
, so the type is useful for pathname construction.
type Pathname = PathTemplate<'/foo/:bar'>
// => `/foo/${string}`
