It provides a common TypeScript syntax for type construction, a runtime compiler for high-performance validation and provides type translation from one library to another. TypeMap is built using components provided by the TypeBox library and infrastructure. TypeMap is written to be an advanced adapter and type translation system for the [TypeBox](https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox) project. It is designed specifically to integrate and accelerate remote type libraries on Json Schema compatible infrastructure as well as to enable TypeBox schematics to be remapped to remote type library infrastructure. This project also provides high-performance validation for frameworks that orientate around the [Standard Schema](https://github.com/standard-schema/standard-schema) TypeScript interface.

It provides mapping functions per library which is used to translate remote types into types specific to that library. All mapping functions make a best attempt to retain semantics from each library. If no translation is possible, these functions return a `never` representation specific to the library being mapped. ### TypeBox Use the `TypeBox` function to translate types and syntax into TypeBox types. ```typescript import { TypeBox } from '@sinclair/typemap' const S = TypeBox('string[]') // const S: TArray (Syntax) const T = TypeBox(t.Number()) // const T: TNumber (TypeBox) const V = TypeBox(v.string()) // const V: TString (Valibot) const Z = TypeBox(z.boolean()) // const Z: TBoolean (Zod) ``` ### Valibot Use the `Valibot` function to translate types and syntax into Valibot types. ```typescript import { Valibot } from '@sinclair/typemap' const S = Valibot('string[]') // const S: v.ArraySchema<...> (Syntax) const T = Valibot(t.Number()) // const T: v.NumberSchema (TypeBox) const V = Valibot(v.string()) // const V: v.StringSchema (Valibot) const Z = Valibot(z.boolean()) // const Z: v.BooleanSchema (Zod) ``` ### Zod Use the `Zod` function to translate types and syntax into Zod types. ```typescript import { Zod } from '@sinclair/typemap' const S = Zod('string[]') // const S: z.ZodArray<...> (Syntax) const T = Zod(t.Number()) // const T: z.ZodNumber (TypeBox) const V = Zod(v.string()) // const V: z.ZodString (Valibot) const Z = Zod(z.boolean()) // const Z: z.ZodBoolean (Zod) ``` ## Syntax TypeMap provides a TypeScript syntax parser that can be used to create library types. TypeScript parsing is implemented at runtime as well as in the TypeScript type system. It offers a convenient means of creating cross library types without having to author across multiple type builder API. Please be mindful using this feature, while syntax parsing has the potential to dramatically improve developer experience, advanced DX mapping in the type system usually has an inference overhead, and parsing in the type system may significantly reduce inference performance. Use with consideration. Technical Reference [ParseBox](https://github.com/sinclairzx81/parsebox) > [Syntax Types](https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox?tab=readme-ov-file#syntax) ### Types Syntax types can be created by passing a string parameter to any library mapping function. TypeMap supports most TypeScript annotation syntax. If the string contains a syntax error, the function will return a `never` type. ([Example](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgFQJ5gKYCEIA84C+cAZlBCHAOQACAzsAHYDGANgIbBQD0M6GIbMJQBQwphAa14yOAF4UfHLgAUlJLgBccAIyFKASjhHjJ02aNcucQCjkgeD+44ydK3IA8gCMAVhiYwAPEjC5sEhoWHmlsaaKAAywDAYUGwsftoAfEHhWdnhkQQZYhJScADKcgqYSqoAhLUGOVmRgDLkDkXwJS4AchgAbolAA)) ```typescript import { TypeBox } from '@sinclair/typemap' const T = TypeBox('{ x: 1 }') // const T: TObject<{ // x: TLiteral<1> // }> const S = TypeBox('!!!') // const S: TNever ``` ### Options Options can be passed on the last parameter of a type. TypeMap will translate known Json Schema keywords into appropriate runtime representations if possible. ([Example](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgFQJ5gKYCEIA8A0cAWhACZwC+cAZlBCHAOQACAzsAHYDGANgIbAoAehjoMIPmEYAoaUKFwuEDq3jIAXCgDKMKJwDmcALyI4ozJsaq9HfY0LVoEmJfECejSrKUq1xlGI4uAAUVroG9qaOUM6uEsAelACUsvKKyqpwWv4AXgB0EABGAFYYXDDBSLia+RwAriCFGFDBScl51sDlrd4Z8NkmJKShVZr1jc2UkUh8pKTAMMDKfDwACnSYsMAYrJrUK6wYyUA)) ```typescript import { TypeBox, Zod } from '@sinclair/typemap' const T = TypeBox('string', { // const T: TString = { format: 'email' // type: 'string', }) // format: 'email' // } const S = Zod('{ x: number }', { // const S = z.object({ additionalProperties: false // x: z.number() }) // }).strict() ``` ### Parameters Types can be parameterized to accept exterior types. ([Example](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgNQIYBtgCMIwDRwBaEAJnAL5wBmUEIcA5AAIDOwAdgMbqrBQD0MAJ5gApiFRgGAKGmcI7FvAAqcALwoM2XAAoG7AK4gsoqAwCUcK9f784AUQAeMU8GhxlI0bPmL4AZXUiUh0kVXICAAMkRwAuDwpIy1tgkgB5LAArUU4YAB4Y+OISADkjEygKAiQAOjqKAD4gA)) ```typescript import { Valibot, Zod } from '@sinclair/typemap' const T = Valibot('number') // const T: NumberSchema // Parameter T auto remapped to target library const S = Zod({ T }, `{ x: T }`) // const S: ZodObject<{ // x: ZodNumber // }, { ... }> ``` ### Generics Use parameterized types with functions to create generic types ([Example](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgFQJ5gKYCEIA8A0cAagIYA2wARhDIQFoQAmcAvnAGZQQhwDkAAgGdgAOwDGZEsCgB6GOgwgSYXgChVMmXADiGERijAxKBerEQRg+EQxiY0OAF44AHmRwMuGHsaC4ESgArWxgAPgAKZAAuFABKJ1CTTBxccKR3FkIAAyRVODhcGORCPLhUIpL8gC8iuFUWLNj1TTgASUsYEnEMZjRMQTMLKxQnYhDocNIKahhw3hEAVxBKA15Y+PzNre38lvMOlCKAeSCQlwRSnavrm9vblvzClAA5JZWoSruv75+4B7Kiq9lgZ8JdfuCIX8tNVAW8QWDIYi7i0WKFBgcAMqjGx2CYMRhzKyGEQAczWG0ReyG8Axx1OdnOCKRzJ2-yeyAxMGJJM+LL523+5RQnO5oP54s2-xqwq5oh5TIlSJRoSAA)) ```typescript import { TypeBox, Valibot, Zod } from '@sinclair/typemap' // Generic Type const Vector = (T: T) => TypeBox({ T }, `{ x: T, y: T, z: T }`) // Instanced Types const T = Vector(Valibot('number')) // const T: TObject<{ // x: TNumber, // y: TNumber, // z: TNumber, // }> const S = Vector(Zod('string')) // const S: TObject<{ // x: TString, // y: TString, // z: TString, // }> ``` ## Static Use Static to infer for library and syntax types ```typescript import { type Static } from '@sinclair/typemap' const T = t.Number() // TypeBox const V = v.string() // Valibot const Z = z.boolean() // Zod const S = 'string[]' // Syntax type S = Static // string[] type T = Static // number type V = Static // string type Z = Static // boolean ``` ## TreeShake TypeMap exports the top-level TypeBox, Valibot, and Zod functions, which broadly translate any type. However, applications are most likely going to be interested in translating between two libraries (at most) and in one specific direction (e.g., Zod to TypeBox). TypeMap provides specific functions that perform only a particular translation. Using these specific mapping functions allows bundlers to tree-shake unused type libraries. ```typescript import { TypeBoxFromZod } from '@sinclair/typemap' // Bundle TypeBox | Zod, Tree Shake Valibot import * as z from 'zod' const T = TypeBoxFromZod(z.object({ // const T: TObject<{ x: z.number(), // x: TNumber; y: z.number(), // y: TNumber; z: z.number() // z: TNumber; })) // }> ``` ## Compile Use the `Compile` function to compile Zod and Valibot on TypeBox validation infrastructure. ([Example](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?moduleResolution=99&module=199#code/JYWwDg9gTgLgBAbzgYQuYAbApgGjgLQgBM4BfOAMyjTgHIABAZ2ADsBjDAQ2CgHoYAnmCwhOYWgCgJvXijRhMWOABUhWKWwgtG8AGpwAvHPTYAFISKmABgglx7ADwBccFgFcQAIyxQcd+wIu7l4+fvZwAF5BHt5QEqRWAJSJUjIqagCyYi7IABZYbADWcABibuwwwFpwpiWcOikSmtrwAEoAjIZwugB0eQWFpkjOcO14gXAATHhRcADMZI1pAMownCxEnFAky2z5oi66nBjAmzBKZRVVLDV1DRpaOnCtk126ANq0AH4665vbtAAuj0AG7HU6cc5DOAjMZwCbTSIuBakRJAA)) ```typescript import { Compile, Zod } from '@sinclair/typemap' // Compile Validator From Zod const validator = Compile(Zod(`{ x: number, y: number, z: number }`)) const R1 = validator.Check({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) // Standard Schema // // ... which should have been named 'Standard Validator' const R2 = validator['~standard'].validate({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }) ``` ## Benchmark This project manages a small benchmark that compares validation performance using Zod, Valibot, and TypeBox validators. For more comprehensive community benchmarks, refer to the [runtime-type-benchmarks](https://github.com/moltar/typescript-runtime-type-benchmarks) project. ### Test Benchmarks are run for the following type. ```typescript type T = { x: number, y: string, z: boolean } ``` ### Results Results show the approximate elapsed time to complete the given iterations ```typescript ┌─────────┬────────────────┬────────────────────┬────────────┬────────────┐ │ (index) │ library │ using │ iterations │ elapsed │ ├─────────┼────────────────┼────────────────────┼────────────┼────────────┤ │ 0 │ 'valibot ' │ 'valibot ' │ 10000000 │ '1534 ms ' │ │ 1 │ 'valibot ' │ 'typebox:value ' │ 10000000 │ '1377 ms ' │ │ 2 │ 'valibot ' │ 'typebox:compile ' │ 10000000 │ '46 ms ' │ └─────────┴────────────────┴────────────────────┴────────────┴────────────┘ ┌─────────┬────────────────┬────────────────────┬────────────┬────────────┐ │ (index) │ library │ using │ iterations │ elapsed │ ├─────────┼────────────────┼────────────────────┼────────────┼────────────┤ │ 0 │ 'zod ' │ 'zod ' │ 10000000 │ '4669 ms ' │ │ 1 │ 'zod ' │ 'typebox:value ' │ 10000000 │ '1359 ms ' │ │ 2 │ 'zod ' │ 'typebox:compile ' │ 10000000 │ '47 ms ' │ └─────────┴────────────────┴────────────────────┴────────────┴────────────┘ ``` ## Contribute This project is open to community contributions.
