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 written to be an advanced type translation system for the [TypeBox](https://github.com/sinclairzx81/typebox) project. It is built to integrate and accelerate remote type libraries on Json Schema compatible infrastructure as well as to integrate TypeBox into remote type library infrastructure via reverse type remapping. 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 a single 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. ### Syntax Use the `Syntax` function to translate types into a Syntax string ```typescript import { Syntax } from '@sinclair/typemap' const S = Syntax('string[]') // const S: 'string[]' (Syntax) const T = Syntax(t.Number()) // const T: 'number' (TypeBox) const V = Syntax(v.string()) // const V: 'string' (Valibot) const Z = Syntax(z.boolean()) // const Z: 'boolean' (Zod) ``` ### 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. ### 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+cAZlBCHAOQACAzsAHYDGANgIbBQD0M6GIbMJQBQwphAa14yOAF4UfHLgAUlJLgBccAIyFKASjhHjJ02aNcuccZOlbkAeQBGAKwxMYAHiTDzf-wGB5pbGmigAMsAwGFBsLJ7aAHy+QalpQSEEyWISUnAAynIKmEqqAIQVBumpITZ5+fYAchgAbjFwALQFqAwwbPgAolBkUEA)) ```typescript import { TypeBox } from '@sinclair/typemap' const T = TypeBox('{ x: 1 }') // const T: TObject<{ // x: TLiteral<1> // }> const S = TypeBox('!!!') // const S: TNever - Syntax Error ``` ### 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 takes TypeBox, Valibot and Zod on as peer dependencies. If bundling for browser environments, it is recommended to import specific functions to handle specific translations. For example, the following imports a Zod to TypeBox translation. By doing this it will by-pass other library imports cause Valibot to be omitted from the bundle. ```typescript import { TypeBoxFromZod } from '@sinclair/typemap' // Include 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.
