@fenge/types

A type patch for TypeScript, enhancing type-safe for built-in JavaScript apis.

Feature

Without this library:

• 🚨 Array.isArray returns any[].
• 🚨 JSON.parse returns any.
• 🚨 new Map() generates Map<any, any>.
• 🚨 <promise object>.catch accepts (reason: any) => void | PromiseLike<void>

With this library:

• 👍 Array.isArray returns unknown[].
• 👍 JSON.parse returns unknown.
• 👍 new Map() generates Map<unknown, unknown>.
• 👍 <promise object>.catch accepts (reason: unknown) => void | PromiseLike<void>

Usage

Add a triple-slash-directive /// <reference types="@fenge/types" /> at the top of the ts file that serves as the entry point for your application or package. This will make the entire project more type-safe.

Application/Package Entry Point (eg: src/main.ts or src/app.ts)

/// <reference types="@fenge/types" />
import foo from "./foo";

Other File (eg: src/other-file.ts)

console.log(JSON.parse('{"foo":"foo"}').bar);
         // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ❌ Object is of type 'unknown'.

Differences Between @total-typescript/ts-reset

• This library only focus on built-in ECMAScript apis. So it doesn't enhance the browser or Node apis like fetch.
• This library only focus on type-safe, not convenience. So it doesn't contain the apis like array-includes.d.ts, which @total-typescript/ts-reset does.
