types

This package provides a set utility types for angular.

• ExtractRouteInputs: Extracts the route's path parameters, the resolved values and the data values to create an object type to implement in @Components

  Example:

  // app.routes.ts
  
  const userRoute = {
    path: 'user/:id' as const,
    data: { someData: true },
    resolve: { user: () => of({ name: 'Lucas', age: 26 }).pipe(delay(500)) },
    loadComponent: () => import('./user.component'),
  } satisfies Route;
  
  export type UserRouteInputs = ExtractRouteInputs<typeof userRoute>;
  /* Output:
    {
      id: string:
      someData: boolean;
      user: {
        name: string;
        age: number;
      }
    }
  */
  
  export const routes: Routes = [userRoute];

  In the example above, we can see two import things to extract the route inputs:

  • the use of { ... } satisfies Route instead of a basic userRoute: Route => this is really important to let typescript infer the type of userRoute but still keeping autocompletion and type validation during the development phase
  • the use of as const for the path: it helps typescript infer 'user/:id' instead of string => it's necessary to extract id as the path param input

  This ExtractRouteInputs is composed of the flattened:

  • ExtractRoutePath
  • ExtractRouteData
  • ExtractRouteResolve

  NB: Since query parameters are not declared in a Route we cannot extract them.
