FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate TypeScript tests from as type assertions to shoehorn?▼

Migrate TypeScript tests by replacing `as Type` with `fromPartial` and `as unknown as Type` with `fromAny`, then add the required shoehorn imports to ensure type-safety and readability.

What is the difference between fromPartial and fromAny in shoehorn test migrations?▼

`fromPartial` replaces `as Type` for partial test data, while `fromAny` replaces `as unknown as Type` to preserve autocomplete when testing edge cases with intentional type mismatches.

How do I handle intentional type mismatches when migrating tests to shoehorn?▼

Handle intentional type mismatches during shoehorn migration by replacing `as unknown as Type` wrappers with `fromAny`, which preserves autocomplete while safely testing edge cases.

Can I use shoehorn migrations for production code instead of just test files?▼

Shoehorn migration targets TypeScript test suites using `as` assertions and encourages safe testing patterns, explicitly avoiding production usage to maintain strict type-safety boundaries.

Does migrate-to-shoehorn work with TypeScript test suites using unknown as wrappers?▼

Yes, the migration applies to TypeScript test suites using `as` assertions or `unknown as` wrappers, converting them to `fromPartial` and `fromAny` usage with corresponding imports.
