### Runtime code vs static type declarations

This project uses **manual type declarations** ([docs](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/type-declarations.html#dts-files)) that are kept separately from the runtime code. `index.d.ts` contains **type declarations**, and `index.js` contains **runtime code**. The most important code lives in `index.d.ts` because this library exists to provide correct type inference. `index.js`, is far less important, and is only doing bare-minimum work to support the API as efficiently as possible.

### CI
25

In most projects, **this is not recommended practice** as the two can (and will) diverge, and you’re left with types that “lie” to you about what the runtime is doing. So this project does have that liability. However, due to the unique nature of this project implementing complex type inference from user-provided schemas, the type inference itself is so complex it was interfering with readable, maintainable, runtime code. By separating the two we won’t have the more complex parts of TypeScript interfering with the optimal runtime code. This would not be tenable in a larger project, but is perfect for a small codebase like this with minimal surface area.

When writing code, it’s tempting to ignore `index.d.ts`and only make runtime updates, since that is generally simpler. But **please don’t!** We write tests in `*.test.ts` files intentionally so that the type inference can be typechecked as well as the runtime. Whenever you make a change to `index.js`, you probably need to also make a chance to `index.d.ts`, too. And **testing type correctness in tests is just as important as testing the runtime!**

This library uses [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/) for testing. There’s a great [VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ZixuanChen.vitest-explorer) you can optionally use if you’d like in-editor debugging tools.

#### TypeScript tests

**Don’t neglect writing TS tests!** In the test suite, you’ll see `// @ts-expect-error` comments. These are critical tests in and of themselves—they are asserting that TypeScript throws an error when it should be throwing an error (the test suite will actually fail in places if a TS error is _not_ raised).
54
+
55
+
As this is just a minimal fetch wrapper meant to provide deep type inference for API schemas, **testing TS types** is arguably more important than testing the runtime. So please make liberal use of `// @ts-expect-error`, and as a general rule of thumb, write more **unwanted** output tests than _wanted_ output tests.
