Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

DeepOmit<Type, Keys>

Utility type for omitting nested properties from a type. Fully type-safe, has nice autocompletion, and works with arrays.

📦 Installation

NPM

npm install --save-dev deep-omit-ts

Yarn

yarn add --dev deep-omit-ts

⏱️ Quick Start

import { DeepOmit } from 'deep-omit-ts';

type Example = {
  a: string;
  b: {
    c: string;
    d: {
      e: string;
      f: string;
    };
  };
};

type Omitted = DeepOmit<Example, 'a' | 'b.d.e'>;

📖 Documentation

Basic Usage

DeepOmit<Type, Keys> is a utility type that takes two generic parameters:

  • Type - The type to omit properties from
  • Keys - Keys of the properties to omit

DeepOmit can be used like the built-in Omit utility type:

type Todo = {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  completed: boolean;
  createdAt: number;
}

type TodoPreview = DeepOmit<Todo, "description">;

const todo: TodoPreview = {
  title: "Clean room",
  completed: false,
  createdAt: 1615544252770,
};

A union of keys can be used to omit multiple properties:

type TodoInfo = Omit<Todo, "completed" | "createdAt">;

const todoInfo: TodoInfo = {
  title: "Pick up kids",
  description: "Kindergarten closes at 5pm",
};

Nested Properties

Unlike Omit, DeepOmit can omit nested properties:

import { DeepOmit } from 'deep-omit-ts';

type Example = {
  foo1: string;
  foo2: {
    bar1: string;
    bar2: {
      baz1: string;
      baz2: string;
    };
  };
};

type Omitted = DeepOmit<Example, 'foo2.bar1' | 'foo2.bar2.baz1'>;

const omitted: Omitted = {
  foo1: 'foo1',
  foo2: {
    bar2: {
      baz2: 'baz2',
    },
  },
};

When writing the keys you'll see that the autocompletion works as expected:

Autocompletion

Arrays

DeepOmit works with arrays as well:

type Example = Array<{
  foo1: string;
  foo2: Array<{
    bar1: string;
    bar2: string;
  }>;
}>;

type Omitted = DeepOmit<Example, 'foo2.bar2'>

const omitted: Omitted = [
  {
    foo1: 'foo1',
    foo2: [
      {
        bar1: 'bar1',
      }
    ]
  }
];

Ignored Types

An optional third generic parameter can be applied to DeepOmit to ignore the properties of certain types. This is especially helpful if your type contains large classes (like most of JavaScript's built-ins) where you don't want their keys to show up in the autocompletion. It can also help with the type-checker's performance on very large types.

class SomeLargeClass {
  // Imagine a lot of properties and methods here
}

type Example = {
  foo: string;
  bar: SomeLargeClass;
};

type Omitted = DeepOmit<Example, 'bar', SomeLargeClass>;

DeepOmit will automatically ignore checking the props of the following types:

  • Function
  • Number
  • String
  • Map<any, any>
  • Promise<any>
  • Date
  • RegExp
