migrate-to-shoehorn

To replace 'as' type assertions with shoehorn in TypeScript tests, this Skill substitutes 'as Type' and 'as unknown as Type' patterns with fromPartial and fromAny helpers, updating imports and test calls to preserve type safety for partial data.

Using partial data in TypeScript tests without losing type safety is best achieved by migrating to shoehorn's fromPartial helper, which allows shaping test data like Request mocks while avoiding full object construction and unsafe type assertions.

Use fromPartial, fromAny, or fromExact from shoehorn depending on your test data shaping needs: fromPartial for partial fixtures, fromAny for bypassing strict checks, and fromExact for requiring complete data structures during TypeScript test migrations.

Yes, you can migrate existing test suites to shoehorn gradually. This Skill provides an incremental migration workflow, allowing you to replace type assertions with fromPartial and fromAny helpers file by file without breaking your overall test suite.

Shoehorn works effectively for mocking large TypeScript fixtures and Request-like objects. By using fromPartial and fromAny, you can avoid full object construction while maintaining type safety across complex test data requirements.
