Features

• Zero Runtime Overhead - Pure type definitions
• Type Safety - Advanced constraint utilities
• Modular Design - Import only what you need
• Rich Toolset - From basic to advanced type operations
• IntelliSense Optimized - Great IDE support

Installation

npm install devtypes

Quick Examples

Object Type Manipulation

import type { Merge } from 'devtypes/collections';
import type { RequireExactlyOne } from 'devtypes/constraints';

type UserBase = { id: number; name: string; email?: string };
type UserAuth = { email: string; password: string };

// Merge types (smart conflict resolution)
type User = Merge< UserBase, UserAuth >;
// { id: number; name: string; email: string; password: string }

// Require exactly one field
type LoginCredentials = RequireExactlyOne<
    { email?: string; phone?: string; username?: string; },
    'email' | 'phone' | 'username'
>;

Deep Utilities

import type { DeepPartial, DeepRequired } from 'devtypes/collections';

interface Config {
    server: {
        port: number;
        host: string;
        ssl?: {
            cert: string;
            key: string;
        };
    };
    database: {
        url: string;
        timeout?: number;
    };
}

// Make everything optional
type PartialConfig = DeepPartial< Config >;

// Make everything required
type FullConfig = DeepRequired< Config >;

Core Modules

Module	Purpose
base	Foundational types: conditionals, guards, type equality
primitives	Primitive type utilities and literal handling
collections	Deep transformations (merging, partial, required, readonly, mutable)
lists	List-like structures (arrays, sets, maps, records, iterables)
combinators	Union/tuple/intersection transformations
constraints	Property requirement constraints and validation
functionals	Function type utilities: curry, compose, promisify
classes	Class-specific utilities: methods, properties, constructors
utils	General-purpose transformations and key filtering

Performance Tips

Import from specific modules for best IDE performance:

// Good - direct import
import type { Merge } from 'devtypes/utils';
import type { MethodNames } from 'devtypes/classes';

// Avoid - star imports slow down IntelliSense
import * as Types from 'devtypes';
