type-safe-monkey-patching

What problem does it solve?

Monkey patching built-in objects at runtime often breaks TypeScript type safety. This guide shows how to model runtime modifications with type-safe techniques instead of casting to any.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Interface augmentation for global properties like Window and Document
• Safe patterns for attaching data to DOM elements and DOM-related globals
• Alternatives for global state management and per-element data without sacrificing type safety
• Guidance for migrating legacy code from unsafe monkey patching to structured approaches

Quick Start

Augment the global Window type with a defined interface and assign typed values safely.
