Many of the types here should have been built-in. You can help by suggesting some of them to the TypeScript project.

Either add this package as a dependency or copy-paste the needed types. No credit required. 👌

PR welcome for additional commonly needed types and docs improvements. Read the contributing guidelines first.

Install

$ npm install type-fest

Requires TypeScript >=3.2

Usage

import {Except} from 'type-fest';

type Foo = {
    unicorn: string;
    rainbow: boolean;
};

type FooWithoutRainbow = Except<Foo, 'rainbow'>;
//=> {unicorn: string}

API

Click the type names for complete docs.

Basic

• Primitive - Matches any primitive value.
• Class - Matches a class constructor.
• TypedArray - Matches any typed array, like Uint8Array or Float64Array.
• JsonObject - Matches a JSON object.
• JsonArray - Matches a JSON array.
• JsonValue - Matches any valid JSON value.
• ObservableLike - Matches a value that is like an Observable.

Utilities

• Except - Create a type from an object type without certain keys. This is a stricter version of Omit.
• Mutable - Convert an object with readonly keys into a mutable object. The inverse of Readonly<T>.
• Merge - Merge two types into a new type. Keys of the second type overrides keys of the first type.
• MergeExclusive - Create a type that has mutually exclusive keys.
• RequireAtLeastOne - Create a type that requires at least one of the given keys.
• RequireExactlyOne - Create a type that requires exactly a single key of the given keys and disallows more.
• PartialDeep - Create a deeply optional version of another type. Use Partial<T> if you only need one level deep.
• ReadonlyDeep - Create a deeply immutable version of an object/Map/Set/Array type. Use Readonly<T> if you only need one level deep.
• LiteralUnion - Create a union type by combining primitive types and literal types without sacrificing auto-completion in IDEs for the literal type part of the union. Workaround for Microsoft/TypeScript#29729.
• Promisable - Create a type that represents either the value or the value wrapped in PromiseLike.
• Opaque - Create an opaque type.
• SetOptional - Create a type that makes the given keys optional.
• SetRequired - Create a type that makes the given keys required.
• PromiseValue - Returns the type that is wrapped inside a Promise.
• AsyncReturnType - Unwrap the return type of a function that returns a Promise.
• ConditionalKeys - Extract keys from a shape where values extend the given Condition type.
• ConditionalPick - Like Pick except it selects properties from a shape where the values extend the given Condition type.
• ConditionalExcept - Like Omit except it removes properties from a shape where the values extend the given Condition type.

Miscellaneous

• PackageJson - Type for npm's package.json file.
• TsConfigJson - Type for TypeScript's tsconfig.json file (TypeScript 3.7).

Declined types

If we decline a type addition, we will make sure to document the better solution here.

• Diff and Spread - The PR author didn't provide any real-world use-cases and the PR went stale. If you think this type is useful, provide some real-world use-cases and we might reconsider.
• Dictionary - You only save a few characters (Dictionary<number> vs Record<string, number>) from Record, which is more flexible and well-known. Also, you shouldn't use an object as a dictionary. We have Map in JavaScript now.

Tips

Built-in types

There are many advanced types most users don't know about.

• Partial<T> - Make all properties in T optional.

• Required<T> - Make all properties in T required.

• Readonly<T> - Make all properties in T readonly.

• Pick<T, K> - From T, pick a set of properties whose keys are in the union K.
