// Helper type. Not useful on its own.

/**
|
|
Create a type that has mutually exclusive keys.
|
|
|
|
This type was inspired by [this comment](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14094#issuecomment-373782604).
|
|
|
|
This type works with a helper type, called `Without`. `Without<FirstType, SecondType>` produces a type that has only keys from `FirstType` which are not present on `SecondType` and sets the value type for these keys to `never`. This helper type is then used in `MergeExclusive` to remove keys from either `FirstType` or `SecondType`.
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
```
|
|
import {MergeExclusive} from 'type-fest';
|
|
|
|
interface ExclusiveVariation1 {
|
|
exclusive1: boolean;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
interface ExclusiveVariation2 {
|
|
exclusive2: string;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type ExclusiveOptions = MergeExclusive<ExclusiveVariation1, ExclusiveVariation2>;
|
|
|
|
let exclusiveOptions: ExclusiveOptions;
|
|
|
|
exclusiveOptions = {exclusive1: true};
|
|
//=> Works
|
|
exclusiveOptions = {exclusive2: 'hi'};
|
|
//=> Works
|
|
exclusiveOptions = {exclusive1: true, exclusive2: 'hi'};
|
|
//=> Error
|
|
```
