Overview

TypeBox is a runtime type builder that creates in-memory JSON Schema objects that can be statically inferred as TypeScript types. The schemas produced by this library are designed to match the static type assertion rules of the TypeScript language. TypeBox allows one to create a unified type that can be statically checked by TypeScript and runtime asserted using standard JSON Schema validation.

This library is designed to enable JSON schema to compose with the same flexibility as TypeScript's type system. It can be used as a simple tool to build up complex schemas or integrated into REST or RPC services to help validate data received over the wire.

Usage

The following shows general usage.

import { Static, Type } from '@sinclair/typebox'

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Let's say you have the following type ...
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type T = {
  id: string,
  name: string,
  timestamp: number
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ... you can express this type in the following way.
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

const T = Type.Object({                              // const T = {
  id: Type.String(),                                 //   type: 'object',
  name: Type.String(),                               //   properties: {
  timestamp: Type.Integer()                          //     id: {
})                                                   //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     },
                                                     //     name: {
                                                     //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     },
                                                     //     timestamp: {
                                                     //       type: 'integer'
                                                     //     }
                                                     //   },
                                                     //   required: [
                                                     //     'id',
                                                     //     'name',
                                                     //     'timestamp'
                                                     //   ]
                                                     // }

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ... then infer back to the original static type this way.
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type T = Static<typeof T>                            // type T = {
                                                     //   id: string,
                                                     //   name: string,
                                                     //   timestamp: number
                                                     // }

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// ... then use the type both as JSON schema and as a TypeScript type.
//
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'

function receive(value: T) {                         // ... as a Static Type

  if(Value.Check(T, value)) {                        // ... as a JSON Schema

    // ok...
  }
}

Types

TypeBox types are JSON schema fragments that compose into complex types. Each fragment is structured such that a JSON schema compliant validator can runtime assert a value the same way TypeScript will statically assert a type. TypeBox provides a set of Standard types which are used create JSON schema compliant schematics as well as an Extended type set used to create schematics for constructs native to JavaScript.

Standard Types

The following table lists the Standard TypeBox types. These types are fully compatible with the JSON Schema Draft 7 specification.

Extended Types

TypeBox provides several extended types that can be used to produce schematics for common JavaScript constructs. These types can not be used with standard JSON schema validators; but are useful to help frame schematics for RPC interfaces that may receive JSON validated data. Extended types are prefixed with the [Extended] doc comment for convenience. The following table lists the supported types.

Options

You can pass JSON Schema options on the last argument of any type. Option hints specific to each type are provided for convenience.

// String must be an email
const T = Type.String({                              // const T = {
  format: 'email'                                    //   type: 'string',
})                                                   //   format: 'email'
                                                     // }

// Number must be a multiple of 2
const T = Type.Number({                              // const T = {
  multipleOf: 2                                      //  type: 'number',

Generic Types

Generic types are created with generic functions. All TypeBox types extend the sub type TSchema so it is common to constrain function arguments to this type. The following creates a generic Vector<T> type.

import { Type, Static, TSchema } from '@sinclair/typebox'

const Vector = <T extends TSchema>(t: T) => Type.Object({ x: t, y: t, z: t })

const NumberVector = Vector(Type.Number())           // const NumberVector = {
                                                     //   type: 'object',
                                                     //   required: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
                                                     //   properties: {
                                                     //     x: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //     y: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //     z: { type: 'number' }
                                                     //   }
                                                     // }

type NumberVector = Static<typeof NumberVector>      // type NumberVector = {
                                                     //   x: number,
                                                     //   y: number,
                                                     //   z: number
                                                     // }

Generic types can be used to create aliases for more complex types. The following creates a Nullable<T> type.

const Nullable = <T extends TSchema>(schema: T) => Type.Union([schema, Type.Null()])

const T = Nullable(Type.String())                   // const T = {
                                                    //   anyOf: [
                                                    //     { type: 'string' },
                                                    //     { type: 'null' }
                                                    //   ]
                                                    // }

type T = Static<typeof T>                           // type T = string | null

Reference Types

Reference types are supported with Ref.

const T = Type.String({ $id: 'T' })                  // const T = {
                                                     //   $id: 'T',
                                                     //   type: 'string'
                                                     // }

const R = Type.Ref<typeof T>('T')                    // const R = {
                                                     //   $ref: 'T'
                                                     // }

type R = Static<typeof R>                            // type R = string

Recursive Types

Recursive types are supported with Recursive. Recursive type inference is also supported.

const Node = Type.Recursive(This => Type.Object({    // const Node = {
  id: Type.String(),                                 //   $id: 'Node',
  nodes: Type.Array(This)                            //   type: 'object',
}), { $id: 'Node' })                                 //   properties: {
                                                     //     id: {
                                                     //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     },
                                                     //     nodes: {
                                                     //       type: 'array',
                                                     //       items: {
                                                     //         $ref: 'Node'
                                                     //       }
                                                     //     }
                                                     //   },

                                                     //   ]
                                                     // }

type Node = Static<typeof Node>                      // type Node = {
                                                     //   id: string
                                                     //   nodes: Node[]
                                                     // }

function test(node: Node) {
  const id = node.nodes[0].nodes[0].id               // id is string
}

Conditional Types

TypeBox supports conditional types with Extends. This type performs a structural assignment check against the first two parameters and returns either the true or false type as given from the second two parameters. The conditional types Exclude and Extract are also supported.

// TypeScript

type T0 = string extends number ? true : false       // type T0 = false

type T1 = Extract<(1 | 2 | 3), 1>                    // type T1 = 1

type T2 = Exclude<(1 | 2 | 3), 1>                    // type T2 = 2 | 3

// TypeBox

const T0 = Type.Extends(                             // const T0: TLiteral<false> = {
  Type.String(),                                     //   type: 'boolean',
  Type.Number(),                                     //   const: false
  Type.Literal(true),                                // }
  Type.Literal(false)
)

const T1 = Type.Extract(                             // const T1: TLiteral<1> = {
  Type.Union([                                       //   type: 'number',
    Type.Literal(1),                                 //   const: 1
    Type.Literal(2),                                 // }
    Type.Literal(3) 
  ]), 
  Type.Literal(1)
)

const T2 = Type.Exclude(                            // const T2: TUnion<[
  Type.Union([                                      //   TLiteral<2>,
    Type.Literal(1),                                //   TLiteral<3>
    Type.Literal(2),                                // ]> = {
    Type.Literal(3)                                 //   anyOf: [{
  ]),                                               //     type: 'number',
  Type.Literal(1)                                   //     const: 2
)                                                   //   }, {
                                                    //     type: 'number',
                                                    //     const: 3
                                                    //   }]
                                                    // }

Template Literal Types

TypeBox supports template literal types with TemplateLiteral. This type provides an embedded DSL syntax that is similar to the TypeScript template literal syntax. These type can also be composed by passing a tuple of exterior union and literal types. The following example shows the DSL syntax.

// TypeScript

type T = `option${'A'|'B'|'C'}`                      // type T = 'optionA' | 'optionB' | 'optionC'

type R = Record<T, string>                           // type R = {
                                                     //   optionA: string
                                                     //   optionB: string
                                                     //   optionC: string
                                                     // }

// TypeBox

const T = Type.TemplateLiteral('option${A|B|C}')     // const T = {
                                                     //   pattern: '^option(A|B|C)$',
                                                     //   type: 'string'
                                                     // }

const R = Type.Record(T, Type.String())              // const R = {
                                                     //   type: 'object',
                                                     //   required: ['optionA', 'optionB'],
                                                     //   properties: {
                                                     //     optionA: {
                                                     //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     },
                                                     //     optionB: {
                                                     //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     }
                                                     //     optionC: {
                                                     //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     }
                                                     //   }
                                                     // }

Intrinsic String Types

TypeBox supports a set of intrinsic string mapping functions which can be used on string literals. These functions match the TypeScript string intrinsic types Uppercase, Lowercase, Capitalize and Uncapitalize. These functions are supported for literal strings, template literals and union types. The following shows the literal string usage.

// TypeScript

type A = Uncapitalize<'HELLO'>                      // type A = 'hELLO'

type B = Capitalize<'hello'>                        // type B = 'Hello'

type C = Uppercase<'hello'>                         // type C = 'HELLO'

type D = Lowercase<'HELLO'>                         // type D = 'hello'

// TypeBox

const A = Type.Uncapitalize(Type.Literal('HELLO')) // const A: TLiteral<'hELLO'>

const B = Type.Capitalize(Type.Literal('hello'))   // const B: TLiteral<'Hello'>

const C = Type.Uppercase(Type.Literal('hello'))    // const C: TLiteral<'HELLO'>

const D = Type.Lowercase(Type.Literal('HELLO'))    // const D: TLiteral<'hello'>

Indexed Access Types

TypeBox supports indexed access types using Index. This type provides a consistent way of accessing interior property and array element types without having to extract them from the underlying schema representation. Indexed access types are supported for object, array, tuple, union and intersect types.

const T = Type.Object({                              // const T = {
  x: Type.Number(),                                  //   type: 'object',
  y: Type.String(),                                  //   required: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
  z: Type.Boolean()                                  //   properties: {
})                                                   //     x: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //     y: { type: 'string' },
                                                     //     z: { type: 'string' }
                                                     //   }
                                                     // }

const A = Type.Index(T, ['x'])                       // const A = { type: 'number' }

const B = Type.Index(T, ['x', 'y'])                  // const B = {
                                                     //   anyOf: [
                                                     //     { type: 'number' },
                                                     //     { type: 'string' }
                                                     //   ]
                                                     // }

const C = Type.Index(T, Type.KeyOf(T))               // const C = {
                                                     //   anyOf: [
                                                     //     { type: 'number' },
                                                     //     { type: 'string' },
                                                     //     { type: 'boolean' }
                                                     //   ]
                                                     // }

Negated Types

TypeBox has support for type negation with Not. This type will always infer as unknown.

const T = Type.Not(Type.String())                   // const T = {
                                                    //   not: { type: 'string' }
                                                    // }

type T = Static<typeof T>                           // type T = unknown
                                                    //
                                                    // where T could be any type other than string

Type negation can be useful for certain forms of type narrowing. For example, consider a type that represents a number but not the numbers 1, 2, 3. The example below shows an imaginary TypeScript syntax to express such a type followed by the TypeBox representation.

// TypeScript

type T = number & not (1 | 2 | 3)                    // not actual syntax

// TypeBox

const T = Type.Intersect([                           // const T = {
  Type.Number(),                                     //   allOf: [
  Type.Not(Type.Union([                              //     { type: "number" },
    Type.Literal(1),                                 //     {
    Type.Literal(2),                                 //       not: {
    Type.Literal(3)                                  //         anyOf: [
  ]))                                                //           { const: 1, type: "number" },
])                                                   //           { const: 2, type: "number" },
                                                     //           { const: 3, type: "number" }
                                                     //         ]
                                                     //       }
                                                     //     }
                                                     //   ]
                                                     // }

type T = Static<typeof T>                            // type T = number

This type can be used with constraints to create schematics that would otherwise be difficult to express.

const Even = Type.Number({ multipleOf: 2 })

const Odd = Type.Intersect([Type.Number(), Type.Not(Even)])          

Rest Types

Rest parameters are supported with Rest. This function is used to extract interior type elements from tuples which enables them to compose with the JavaScript spread operator .... This type can be used for tuple concatenation as well function parameter assignment.

// TypeScript

type T = [number, number]                            // type T = [number, number]

type C = [...T, number]                              // type C = [number, number, number]

type F = (...param: C) => void                       // type F = (
                                                     //   param0: number,
                                                     //   param1: number,
                                                     //   param2: number
                                                     // ) => void

// TypeBox

const T = Type.Tuple([                               // const T: TTuple<[
  Type.Number(),                                     //   TNumber,
  Type.Number()                                      //   TNumber
])                                                   // ]>

const C = Type.Tuple([                               // const C: TTuple<[
  ...Type.Rest(T),                                   //   TNumber,
  Type.Number()                                      //   TNumber,
])                                                   //   TNumber
                                                     // ]>

const F = Type.Function(Type.Rest(C), Type.Void())   // const F: TFunction<[
                                                     //   TNumber,
                                                     //   TNumber,
                                                     //   TNumber
                                                     // ], TVoid>

Unsafe Types

TypeBox supports the creation of user defined schematics with user defined inference rules using the Unsafe type.

const T = Type.Unsafe<string>({ type: 'number' })    // const T = {
                                                     //   type: 'number'
                                                     // }

type T = Static<typeof T>                            // type T = string

This type can be useful to create various extended schematics, such as those used by OpenAPI.

import { Type, Static, TSchema } from '@sinclair/typebox'

// Nullable<T>

function Nullable<T extends TSchema>(schema: T) {
  return Type.Unsafe<Static<T> | null>({ ...schema, nullable: true })
}

const T = Nullable(Type.String())                    // const T = {
                                                     //   type: 'string',
                                                     //   nullable: true
                                                     // }

type T = Static<typeof T>                            // type T = string | null

// StringEnum<string[]>

function StringEnum<T extends string[]>(values: [...T]) {
  return Type.Unsafe<T[number]>({ type: 'string', enum: values })
}

const T = StringEnum(['A', 'B', 'C'])                // const T = {
                                                     //   enum: ['A', 'B', 'C']
                                                     // }

type T = Static<typeof T>                            // type T = 'A' | 'B' | 'C'

Type Guards

TypeBox provides a TypeGuard module to assert JavaScript values are valid TypeBox types.

import { Type, Kind, TypeGuard } from '@sinclair/typebox'

const T = { [Kind]: 'String', type: 'string' }

if(TypeGuard.TString(T)) {

  // T is TString
}

Strict

TypeBox types contain various symbol properties that are used for reflection, composition and compilation. These properties are not strictly valid JSON schema; so in some cases it may be desirable to omit them. TypeBox provides a Strict function that will omit these properties if necessary.

const T = Type.Object({                              // const T = {
  name: Type.Optional(Type.String())                 //   [Kind]: 'Object',
})                                                   //   type: 'object',
                                                     //   properties: {
                                                     //     name: {
                                                     //       type: 'string',
                                                     //       [Kind]: 'String',
                                                     //       [Optional]: 'Optional'
                                                     //     }
                                                     //   }
                                                     // }

const U = Type.Strict(T)                             // const U = {
                                                     //   type: 'object',
                                                     //   properties: {

                                                     //       type: 'string'
                                                     //     }
                                                     //   }
                                                     // }

Values

TypeBox provides an optional utility module that can be used to perform common operations on JavaScript values. This module includes functionality to create, check and cast values from types as well as check equality, clone, diff and patch JavaScript values. This module is provided via optional import.

import { Value } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'

Create

Use the Create function to create a value from a type. TypeBox will use default values if specified.

const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number({ default: 42 }) })

const A = Value.Create(T)                            // const A = { x: 0, y: 42 }

Clone

Use the Clone function to deeply clone a value

const A = Value.Clone({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 })          // const A = { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }

Check

Use the Check function to type check a value

const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number() })

const R = Value.Check(T, { x: 1 })                   // const R = true

Convert

Use the Convert function to convert a value into its target type if a reasonable conversion is possible. This function may return an invalid value and should be checked before use. It's return type is unknown.

const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number() })

const R1 = Value.Convert(T, { x: '3.14' })          // const R1 = { x: 3.14 }

const R2 = Value.Convert(T, { x: 'not a number' })  // const R2 = { x: 'not a number' }

Cast

Use the Cast function to cast a value into a type. The cast function will retain as much information as possible from the original value.

const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number() }, { additionalProperties: false })

const X = Value.Cast(T, null)                        // const X = { x: 0, y: 0 }

const Y = Value.Cast(T, { x: 1 })                    // const Y = { x: 1, y: 0 }

const Z = Value.Cast(T, { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 })        // const Z = { x: 1, y: 2 }

Equal

Use the Equal function to deeply check for value equality.

const R = Value.Equal(                               // const R = true
  { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 },
  { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 }
)

Hash

Use the Hash function to create a FNV1A-64 non cryptographic hash of a value.

const A = Value.Hash({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 })          // const A = 2910466848807138541n

const B = Value.Hash({ x: 1, y: 4, z: 3 })          // const B = 1418369778807423581n

Diff

Use the Diff function to produce a sequence of edits to transform one value into another.

const E = Value.Diff(                               // const E = [
  { x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 },                             //   { type: 'update', path: '/y', value: 4 },
  { y: 4, z: 5, w: 6 }                              //   { type: 'update', path: '/z', value: 5 },
)                                                   //   { type: 'insert', path: '/w', value: 6 },
                                                    //   { type: 'delete', path: '/x' }
                                                    // ]

Patch

Use the Patch function to apply edits

const A = { x: 1, y: 2 }

const B = { x: 3 }

const E = Value.Diff(A, B)                           // const E = [
                                                     //   { type: 'update', path: '/x', value: 3 },
                                                     //   { type: 'delete', path: '/y' }
                                                     // ]

const C = Value.Patch<typeof B>(A, E)                // const C = { x: 3 }

Errors

Use the Errors function enumerate validation errors.

const T = Type.Object({ x: Type.Number(), y: Type.Number() })

const R = [...Value.Errors(T, { x: '42' })]          // const R = [{
                                                     //   schema: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //   path: '/x',
                                                     //   value: '42',
                                                     //   message: 'Expected number'
                                                     // }, {
                                                     //   schema: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //   path: '/y',
                                                     //   value: undefined,
                                                     //   message: 'Expected number'
                                                     // }]

Mutate

Use the Mutate function to perform a deep mutable value assignment while retaining internal references.

const Y = { z: 1 }                                   // const Y = { z: 1 }

const X = { y: Y }                                   // const X = { y: { z: 1 } }

const A = { x: X }                                   // const A = { x: { y: { z: 1 } } }


Value.Mutate(A, { x: { y: { z: 2 } } })              // const A' = { x: { y: { z: 2 } } }

const R0 = A.x.y.z === 2                             // const R0 = true

const R1 = A.x.y === Y                               // const R1 = true

const R2 = A.x === X                                 // const R2 = true

Pointer

Use ValuePointer to perform mutable updates on existing values using RFC6901 JSON Pointers.

import { ValuePointer } from '@sinclair/typebox/value'

const A = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }

ValuePointer.Set(A, '/x', 1)                         // const A' = { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }

ValuePointer.Set(A, '/y', 1)                         // const A' = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 0 }

ValuePointer.Set(A, '/z', 1)                         // const A' = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 1 }

TypeCheck

TypeBox types target JSON Schema draft 7 so are compatible with any validator that supports this specification. TypeBox also provides a built in type checking compiler designed specifically for high performance compilation and value assertion.

The following sections detail using Ajv and TypeBox's compiler infrastructure.

Ajv

The following shows the recommended setup for Ajv.

$ npm install ajv ajv-formats --save
import { Type }   from '@sinclair/typebox'
import addFormats from 'ajv-formats'
import Ajv        from 'ajv'

const ajv = addFormats(new Ajv({}), [
  'date-time',
  'time',
  'date',
  'email',
  'hostname',
  'ipv4',
  'ipv6',
  'uri',
  'uri-reference',
  'uuid',
  'uri-template',
  'json-pointer',
  'relative-json-pointer',
  'regex'
])

const C = ajv.compile(Type.Object({
  x: Type.Number(),
  y: Type.Number(),
  z: Type.Number()
}))

const R = C({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 })                    // const R = true

TypeCompiler

The TypeBox TypeCompiler is a high performance JIT compiler that transforms TypeBox types into optimized JavaScript validation routines. The compiler is tuned for fast compilation as well as fast value assertion. It is designed to serve as a validation backend that can be integrated into larger applications; but can also be used as a general purpose validator.

The TypeCompiler is provided as an optional import.

import { TypeCompiler } from '@sinclair/typebox/compiler'

Use the Compile(...) function to compile a type. Note that compilation is an expensive operation that should typically be performed once per type during application start up. TypeBox does not cache previously compiled types, so applications are expected to hold references to each compiled type for the lifetime of the application.

const C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.Object({         // const C: TypeCheck<TObject<{
  x: Type.Number(),                                  //     x: TNumber;
  y: Type.Number(),                                  //     y: TNumber;
  z: Type.Number()                                   //     z: TNumber;
}))                                                  // }>>

const R = C.Check({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 })              // const R = true

Use the Errors(...) function to produce diagnostic errors for a value. The Errors(...) function will return an iterator that if enumerated; will perform an exhaustive check across the entire value and yield any error found. For performance, this function should only be called after failed Check(...). Applications may also choose to yield only the first value to avoid exhaustive error generation.

const C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.Object({         // const C: TypeCheck<TObject<{
  x: Type.Number(),                                  //     x: TNumber;
  y: Type.Number(),                                  //     y: TNumber;
  z: Type.Number()                                   //     z: TNumber;
}))                                                  // }>>

const value = { }

const errors = [...C.Errors(value)]                  // const errors = [{
                                                     //   schema: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //   path: '/x',
                                                     //   value: undefined,
                                                     //   message: 'Expected number'
                                                     // }, {
                                                     //   schema: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //   path: '/y',
                                                     //   value: undefined,
                                                     //   message: 'Expected number'
                                                     // }, {
                                                     //   schema: { type: 'number' },
                                                     //   path: '/z',
                                                     //   value: undefined,
                                                     //   message: 'Expected number'
                                                     // }]

Compiled routines can be inspected with the .Code() function.

const C = TypeCompiler.Compile(Type.String())        // const C: TypeCheck<TString>

console.log(C.Code())                                // return function check(value) {
                                                     //   return (
                                                     //     (typeof value === 'string')
                                                     //   )
                                                     // }

TypeSystem

The TypeBox TypeSystem module provides functionality to define types above and beyond the Standard and Extended type sets as well as control various assertion policies. Configurations made to the TypeSystem module are observed by both TypeCompiler and Value modules.

The TypeSystem module is provided as an optional import.

import { TypeSystem } from '@sinclair/typebox/system'

Types

Use the Type(...) function to create custom types. This function lets you specify custom value assertion logic and will return a type factory function which is used to instance the type. This function accepts two generic arguments, the first is the inference type, the second is options used to constrain the type. The following creates a Vector type.

type VectorOptions = { abs: boolean }

type Vector = { x: number, y: number }

const Vector = TypeSystem.Type<Vector, VectorOptions>('Vector', (options, value) => {
  return (
    typeof value === 'object' && value !== null &&
    'x' in value && typeof value.x === 'number' &&
    'y' in value && typeof value.y === 'number' &&
    (options.abs ? (value.x === Math.abs(value.x) && value.y === Math.abs(value.y)) : true)
  )
})

const T = Vector({ abs: true })

type T = Static<typeof T>                            // type T = Vector

const R1 = Value.Check(T, { x: 1, y: 1 })            // const R1 = true

const R2 = Value.Check(T, { x: 1, y: '1' })          // const R2 = false

const R3 = Value.Check(T, { x: 1, y: -1 })           // const R3 = false

Formats

Use the Format(...) function to create a custom string format. The following creates a format that checks for lowercase strings.

TypeSystem.Format('lowercase', value => value === value.toLowerCase()) // format should be lowercase

const T = Type.String({ format: 'lowercase' })

const A = Value.Check(T, 'Hello')                    // const A = false

const B = Value.Check(T, 'hello')                    // const B = true

Policies

TypeBox validates using standard JSON Schema assertion policies by default. It is possible to override some of these policies to have TypeBox assert inline with TypeScript static assertion rules. The following policy overrides are available.

// Disallow undefined values for optional properties (default is false)
//
// const A: { x?: number } = { x: undefined } - disallowed when enabled

TypeSystem.ExactOptionalPropertyTypes = true

// Allow arrays to validate as object types (default is false)
//
// const A: {} = [] - allowed in TS

TypeSystem.AllowArrayObjects = true

// Allow numeric values to be NaN or + or - Infinity (default is false)
//
// const A: number = NaN - allowed in TS

TypeSystem.AllowNaN = true

TypeBox Transform

TypeBox offers a small web based code generation tool that can be used to convert TypeScript types into TypeBox types as well as a variety of other runtime type representations.
