migrate-to-shoehorn

To replace type assertions in TypeScript tests, migrate explicit 'as Type' expressions to shoehorn helpers like fromPartial(...) for safer partial data, or fromAny() for intentionally incorrect data, then add the required imports to ensure tests compile safely.

The best way to handle 'as unknown as Type' patterns is to convert them to fromAny(), which preserves autocomplete while ensuring type checks. This migration to shoehorn helpers improves type-safety and maintainability in tests.

Yes, migrating tests to shoehorn requires installing the @total-typescript/shoehorn package and adding the appropriate imports to your test files. This ensures fromPartial, fromAny, or fromExact compile correctly.

Use fromPartial when replacing 'as Type' for safer partial object payloads in tests. Use fromAny when converting 'as unknown as Type' patterns to preserve autocomplete while ensuring type checks for intentionally incorrect data.

Yes, shoehorn migration specifically applies to tests that heavily use object literals, partial payloads, or intentionally incorrect data. It replaces risky type assertions with safer helpers to improve overall type-safety.

Using explicit 'as' in TypeScript tests poses a maintenance risk because it bypasses type checking. Migrating to shoehorn helpers like fromPartial ensures type safety and provides minimal production risk during test data construction.
