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.

Help wanted with reviewing proposals and pull requests.

Install

npm install type-fest

Requires TypeScript >=5.1

Works best with {strict: true} in your tsconfig.

Usage

import type {Except} from 'type-fest';

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

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

API

Basic

Primitive - Matches any primitive value.
Class - Matches a class.
Constructor - Matches a class constructor.
AbstractClass - Matches an abstract class.
AbstractConstructor - Matches an abstract class constructor.
TypedArray - Matches any typed array, like Uint8Array or Float64Array.
ObservableLike - Matches a value that is like an Observable.

Utilities

EmptyObject - Represents a strictly empty plain object, the {} value.
NonEmptyObject - Represents an object with at least 1 non-optional key.
UnknownRecord - Represents an object with unknown value. You probably want this instead of {}.
UnknownArray - Represents an array with unknown value.

WritableDeep - Create a deeply mutable version of an object/ReadonlyMap/ReadonlySet/ReadonlyArray type. The inverse of ReadonlyDeep<T>. Use Writable<T> if you only need one level deep.
Merge - Merge two types into a new type. Keys of the second type overrides keys of the first type.
MergeDeep - Merge two objects or two arrays/tuples recursively into a new type.
MergeExclusive - Create a type that has mutually exclusive keys.
OverrideProperties - Override only existing properties of the given type. Similar to Merge, but enforces that the original type has the properties you want to override.

Type Guard

`IsType` vs. `IfType`

For every IsT type (e.g. IsAny), there is an associated IfT type that can help simplify conditional types. While the IsT types return a boolean, the IfT types act like an If/Else - they resolve to the given TypeIfT or TypeIfNotT depending on whether IsX is true or not. By default, IfT returns a boolean:

type IfAny<T, TypeIfAny = true, TypeIfNotAny = false> = (
	IsAny<T> extends true ? TypeIfAny : TypeIfNotAny
);

Usage

import type {IsAny, IfAny} from 'type-fest';

type ShouldBeTrue = IsAny<any> extends true ? true : false;
//=> true

type ShouldBeFalse = IfAny<'not any'>;
//=> false

type ShouldBeNever = IfAny<'not any', 'not never', 'never'>;
//=> 'never'

IsBooleanLiteral - Returns a boolean for whether the given type is a true or false literal type.
IsSymbolLiteral - Returns a boolean for whether the given type is a symbol literal type.
IsAny - Returns a boolean for whether the given type is any. (Conditional version: IfAny)
IsNever - Returns a boolean for whether the given type is never. (Conditional version: IfNever)
IsUnknown - Returns a boolean for whether the given type is unknown. (Conditional version: IfUnknown)
IsEmptyObject - Returns a boolean for whether the type is strictly equal to an empty plain object, the {} value. (Conditional version: IfEmptyObject)
IsNull - Returns a boolean for whether the given type is null. (Conditional version: IfNull)

Declined types

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

Diff and Spread - The pull request 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.
ExtractProperties and ExtractMethods - The types violate the single responsibility principle. Instead, refine your types into more granular type hierarchies.
Url2Json - Inferring search parameters from a URL string is a cute idea, but not very useful in practice, since search parameters are usually dynamic and defined separately.
Nullish - The type only saves a couple of characters, not everyone knows what "nullish" means, and I'm also trying to get away from null.
TitleCase - It's not solving a common need and is a better fit for a separate package.
ExtendOr and ExtendAnd - The benefits don't outweigh having to learn what they mean.
PackageJsonExtras - There are too many possible configurations that can be put into package.json. If you would like to extend PackageJson to support an additional configuration in your project, please see the Extending existing types section below.

Tips

Extending existing types

PackageJson - There are a lot of tools that place extra configurations inside the package.json file. You can extend PackageJson to support these additional configurations.
<summary> Example </summary>
Playground
```
import type {PackageJson as BasePackageJson} from 'type-fest';
import type {Linter} from 'eslint';

type PackageJson = BasePackageJson & {eslintConfig?: Linter.Config};
```

typed-query-selector - Enhances document.querySelector and document.querySelectorAll with a template literal type that matches element types returned from an HTML element query selector.
Linter.Config - Definitions for the ESLint configuration schema.

Built-in types

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

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

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

interface NodeConfig {
		appName: string;
		port: number;
}

class NodeAppBuilder {
		private configuration: NodeConfig = {
				appName: 'NodeApp',
				port: 3000
		};

		private updateConfig<Key extends keyof NodeConfig>(key: Key, value: NodeConfig[Key]) {
				this.configuration[key] = value;
		}

		config(config: Partial<NodeConfig>) {
				type NodeConfigKey = keyof NodeConfig;

				for (const key of Object.keys(config) as NodeConfigKey[]) {
						const updateValue = config[key];

						if (updateValue === undefined) {
								continue;
						}

						this.updateConfig(key, updateValue);
				}

				return this;
		}
}

// `Partial<NodeConfig>`` allows us to provide only a part of the
// NodeConfig interface.
new NodeAppBuilder().config({appName: 'ToDoApp'});

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

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

interface ContactForm {
		email?: string;
		message?: string;
}

function submitContactForm(formData: Required<ContactForm>) {
		// Send the form data to the server.
}

submitContactForm({
		email: 'ex@mple.com',
		message: 'Hi! Could you tell me more about…',
});

// TypeScript error: missing property 'message'
submitContactForm({
		email: 'ex@mple.com',
});

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

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

enum LogLevel {
		Off,
		Debug,
		Error,
		Fatal
};

interface LoggerConfig {
		name: string;
		level: LogLevel;
}

class Logger {
		config: Readonly<LoggerConfig>;

		constructor({name, level}: LoggerConfig) {
				this.config = {name, level};
				Object.freeze(this.config);
		}
}

const config: LoggerConfig = {
	name: 'MyApp',
	level: LogLevel.Debug
};

const logger = new Logger(config);

// TypeScript Error: cannot assign to read-only property.
logger.config.level = LogLevel.Error;

// We are able to edit config variable as we please.
config.level = LogLevel.Error;

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

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

interface Article {
		title: string;
		thumbnail: string;
		content: string;
}

// Creates new type out of the `Article` interface composed
// from the Articles' two properties: `title` and `thumbnail`.
// `ArticlePreview = {title: string; thumbnail: string}`
type ArticlePreview = Pick<Article, 'title' | 'thumbnail'>;

// Render a list of articles using only title and description.
function renderArticlePreviews(previews: ArticlePreview[]): HTMLElement {
		const articles = document.createElement('div');

		for (const preview of previews) {
				// Append preview to the articles.
		}

		return articles;
}

const articles = renderArticlePreviews([
		{
			title: 'TypeScript tutorial!',
			thumbnail: '/assets/ts.jpg'
		}
]);

Record<K, T> - Construct a type with a set of properties K of type T.

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

// Positions of employees in our company.
type MemberPosition = 'intern' | 'developer' | 'tech-lead';

// Interface describing properties of a single employee.
interface Employee {
		firstName: string;
		lastName: string;
		yearsOfExperience: number;
}

// Create an object that has all possible `MemberPosition` values set as keys.
// Those keys will store a collection of Employees of the same position.
const team: Record<MemberPosition, Employee[]> = {
		intern: [],
		developer: [],
		'tech-lead': [],
};

// Our team has decided to help John with his dream of becoming Software Developer.
team.intern.push({
	firstName: 'John',
	lastName: 'Doe',
	yearsOfExperience: 0
});

// `Record` forces you to initialize all of the property keys.
// TypeScript Error: "tech-lead" property is missing
const teamEmpty: Record<MemberPosition, null> = {
		intern: null,
		developer: null,
};

Exclude<T, U> - Exclude from T those types that are assignable to U.

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

interface ServerConfig {
	port: null | string | number;
}

type RequestHandler = (request: Request, response: Response) => void;

// Exclude `null` type from `null | string | number`.
// In case the port is equal to `null`, we will use default value.
function getPortValue(port: Exclude<ServerConfig['port'], null>): number {
	if (typeof port === 'string') {
		return parseInt(port, 10);
	}

	return port;
}

function startServer(handler: RequestHandler, config: ServerConfig): void {
	const server = require('http').createServer(handler);

	const port = config.port === null ? 3000 : getPortValue(config.port);
	server.listen(port);
}

Extract<T, U> - Extract from T those types that are assignable to U.

<summary> Example </summary>

Playground

declare function uniqueId(): number;

const ID = Symbol('ID');

interface Person {
	[ID]: number;
	name: string;
	age: number;
}

// Allows changing the person data as long as the property key is of string type.
function changePersonData<
	Obj extends Person,
	Key extends Extract<keyof Person, string>,
	Value extends Obj[Key]
> (obj: Obj, key: Key, value: Value): void {
	obj[key] = value;
}

// Tiny Andrew was born.
const andrew = {
	[ID]: uniqueId(),
	name: 'Andrew',
	age: 0,
};

// Cool, we're fine with that.
changePersonData(andrew, 'name', 'Pony');

// Government didn't like the fact that you wanted to change your identity.
changePersonData(andrew, ID, uniqueId());

NonNullable<T> - Exclude null and undefined from T.

<summary> Example </summary> Works with strictNullChecks set to true.

Playground

type PortNumber = string | number | null;

/** Part of a class definition that is used to build a server */

				if (port == null) {
						this.portNumber = 8000;
				} else {
						this.portNumber = port;
				}

				return this;
		}
}

const serverBuilder = new ServerBuilder();

serverBuilder
		.port('8000')   // portNumber = '8000'
		.port(null)     // portNumber =  8000
