migrate-to-shoehorn

Replace unsafe as type assertions in TypeScript test files by using the @total-typescript/shoehorn utility functions to ensure type-safe test data. This eliminates manual type specification and reduces boilerplate while maintaining type checking compliance.

The best way to pass partial test data for large TypeScript interfaces is using the fromPartial() function. It replaces as Type assertions, allowing you to define only required properties without faking unused fields in test setup.

Handle intentionally incorrect type data in TypeScript tests without double casting by using the fromAny() function. It replaces the unsafe as unknown as Type pattern for error case testing while retaining autocomplete support.

Faking all properties for large objects makes test code hard to maintain because it requires manual type specification and unnecessary property faking. This creates brittle tests that break when interfaces change, even when only a subset of properties is needed.

Yes, you can use shoehorn functions to reduce boilerplate in test setup for large interfaces. The utility replaces unsafe type assertions, eliminating the need to manually define all unused properties when a test only requires a subset of fields.

Yes, migrate-to-shoehorn works with test suites requiring intentionally wrong data for error cases. It replaces double as unknown as Type casts with the fromAny() function, retaining autocomplete support while ensuring type-safe incorrect data handling.
