migrate-to-shoehorn

To replace 'as' type assertions in TypeScript tests, you can convert them to Shoehorn's type-safe alternatives, allowing you to pass partial data while maintaining strict type checking. This tool automates that exact migration process.

Using partial data in TypeScript tests without 'as' assertions is best achieved by migrating to Shoehorn, which provides type-safe equivalents for handling partial test data while ensuring your test files remain fully type-checked.

Yes, you need the @total-typescript/shoehorn package installed as a dependency. The migration converts your 'as' type assertions into the type-safe alternatives provided specifically by this package.

This code migration tool is intended only for test code. It specifically targets 'as' type assertions within your TypeScript test files and transforms them into Shoehorn's type-safe alternatives to improve testing practices.

Migrating 'as' assertions in TypeScript tests to Shoehorn improves type safety by replacing unsafe casts with type-safe alternatives. This enables robust partial data testing while preventing type errors that 'as' assertions normally suppress.

The primary limitation when converting 'as' type assertions is that this process targets test code exclusively and requires the @total-typescript/shoehorn package to provide the type-safe alternatives for partial data.
