TypeList recursion limit

[kamadorueda]

Describe the bug

Since the upgrade from 7.1.1 to 8.1.0, I'm getting recursion limit errors

error[E0275]: overflow evaluating the requirement `impl TypeList well-formed`

or

reached the recursion limit while instantiating `<(((((..., ...), ...), ...), ...), ...) as TypeList>::for_each::<...>`

(on a crate that depends on a crate with #![recursion_limit = "..."])

To Reproduce

Derive TS on an enum with 130+ fields, for example:

#[derive(Debug, ts_rs::TS)]
#[ts(export)]
pub enum Iso4217CurrencyCode {

if you comment out some variants, it compiles. There is a point where it stops compiling (the default recursion limit is 128)

Expected behavior

8.1.0

Interesting! Well this is going to be inevitable if your type actually has 128+ dependencies (somehow), but in your case, the function dependency_types is trying to build ((), ((), ((), ...))) with a whole lot of empty TypeLists inside of each other, I'll make a PR to fix that

[NyxCode]

😆 I thought we might be reach that limit at some point!

@escritorio-gustavo One way we could tackle this is by generating a custom TypeList, instead of returning e.g ((((((((((), Type1), Type2), ......)))))

fn dependency_types() -> impl TypeList {
  struct List;
  impl TypeList for List {
    fn for_each(self, v: &mut Visitor) {
      v.visit::<Type1>();
      v.visit::<Type2>();
      OtherType::depencency_types().for_each(v);
      ...
    }
  } 
  List
}

    }
  } 
  List
}

Cool! That could be the way to fix the case for > 128 dependencies. The thing is... I barely understand the TypeList currently, so I have no clue how to do that 😅

I'm getting this issue on the 8.0.0 release:

overflow evaluating the requirement impl ts_rs::typelist::TypeList well-formed

[NyxCode]

@dessalines The newly released 9.0.0 should fix this!

Nice, thx!
