migrate-to-shoehorn

To replace 'as' assertions in TypeScript tests, use the migrate-to-shoehorn skill to automatically convert them into type-safe Shoehorn alternatives, eliminating manual target type specifications and double-as patterns.

Using 'as' in TypeScript tests causes type safety issues by requiring manual target type specifications and double-as assertions for intentional type mismatches. Shoehorn resolves this by providing type-safe alternatives for partial data handling.

Yes, you need the Shoehorn library installed as a dependency before migrating TypeScript test assertions. The migrate-to-shoehorn skill requires @total-typescript/shoehorn to implement the type-safe alternatives replacing 'as' assertions.

The best way to handle partial test data in TypeScript without losing type safety is migrating 'as' assertions to Shoehorn. Shoehorn allows passing partial data in tests while maintaining strict type checking and avoiding intentional type mismatches.

Yes, you can use Shoehorn for intentional type mismatches in test environments. The migrate-to-shoehorn skill replaces double-as patterns with Shoehorn alternatives, ensuring partial data handling and intentional wrong data remain type-safe.
