Ensure Type A extends Type B that has a field which is the value of another object












2














I would like to ensure that type A has a field of a generic type but the name of that field is defined by the value of a field from another object.



E.g. the function:



interface IndexedContext<K extends string, T> {
context: T;
key: K;
}

type TypeB<P, K, T> = {
// this field should be named after IndexedContext[key]
P[K] = T;
}

const Consumer =
<T extends object, K>(context: IndexedContext<K, T>) => <C extends ComponentType<TypeA>, TypeA extends TypeB: C => {
.....
};


TypeA (props) should have a field which is the value of the field key in IndexedKey? So that when I use this decorator on a react component and pass a ReactContext to it I can make sure that the props have a field which is the same as the key.



@Consumer({context: MyContext, key: 'myKey'})
class MyClass extends Component<MyProps> {}


interface MyProps {
// compiler should fail if this key is missing.
myKey: // Type of value of MyContext
}

          You don't need to define any extra mapped types (such as TypeB sould be in your example), you can use Record to get a mapped type from a string literal and a field type.



          You also need to capture the instance type not the constructor. If you write {context: MyContext, key: 'myKey'}, context will be the class MyContext, and so T will be inferred to typeof MyContext not MyContext. To get the instance type you could type context as new (...a:any) => T.



          Putting it all together:



          interface IndexedContext<K extends string, T> {
          context: Type<T>;
          key: K;
          }
          type Type<T> = new (...a: any) => T

          const Consumer =
          <T extends object, K extends string>(context: IndexedContext<K, T>) => <C extends ComponentType<Record<K, T>>>(cls: C) => {

          };

          class MyContext { }
          @Consumer({ context: MyContext, key: 'myKey' })
          class MyClass extends Component<MyProps> { }


          interface MyProps {
          // compiler WILL fail if this key is missing.
          myKey: MyContext// Type of value of MyContext
          }


          Note context will have to be assigned a class for this to work, you will not be able to directly use interfaces or primitives.

          • Thanks! That worked pretty nice. I actually did not need the type Type because the React Context already has the 'type' attached I'm looking for. Now it's working perfectly fine!
