This automates the migration from `as` type assertions to shoehorn in your test files. It's specifically for cleaning up tests where you're faking large objects but only care about a few properties, or intentionally passing bad data to test error paths. The skill installs the shoehorn package, searches for `as` assertions in test files, and replaces them with `fromPartial()` or `fromAny()` depending on whether you're passing partial valid data or deliberately wrong types. It's a focused refactor that makes test setup less brittle without changing runtime behavior. Only applies to test code, which is the right call since shoehorn should never touch production.

迁移到 Shoehorn

为什么用 shoehorn?

shoehorn 允许你在 tests 中传入 partial data,同时保持 TypeScript 满意。它用 type-safe alternatives 替换 as assertions。

只用于 test code。 永远不要在 production code 中使用 shoehorn。

Tests 中 as 的问题:

  • 经过训练,不去使用它
  • 必须手动指定 target type
  • 对故意错误的数据需要 double-as(as unknown as Type)

安装

npm i @total-typescript/shoehorn

迁移模式

只需要少数属性的大型 objects

Before:

type Request = {
  body: { id: string };
  headers: Record<string, string>;
  cookies: Record<string, string>;
  // ...20 more properties
};

it("gets user by id", () => {
  // Only care about body.id but must fake entire Request
  getUser({
    body: { id: "123" },
    headers: {},
    cookies: {},
    // ...fake all 20 properties
  });
});

After:

import { fromPartial } from "@total-typescript/shoehorn";

it("gets user by id", () => {
  getUser(
    fromPartial({
      body: { id: "123" },
    }),
  );
});

as Type → fromPartial()

Before:

getUser({ body: { id: "123" } } as Request);

After:

import { fromPartial } from "@total-typescript/shoehorn";

getUser(fromPartial({ body: { id: "123" } }));

as unknown as Type → fromAny()

Before:
