question: the types i could find suggest that averageIntensity.data[device.country?.toUpperCase()] will always be a number, so parseFloat is unnecessary. are there cases where that could be a string?

return JSON.parse(jsonBuffer);
// TODO (simon) should we check that the parsed JSON is a list of strings?

question: typescript itself can't guarantee that what comes out of JSON.parse is actually a list of strings. would it be worth adding some runtime checking to validate?

* @template {Record<string, number>} EnergyObject
* @param {EnergyObject} energyByComponent - energy grouped by the four system components
* // TODO (simon) check on this type for carbonIntensity
* @param {(number | boolean)=} carbonIntensity - carbon intensity to apply to the datacentre values

question: it looks like this param is being used as a boolean but is initialized to a number when not provided. i'm wondering if it should be initialized to false instead?

question: is this change correct? typescript doesn't recognize that there is a domain property of a URL instance, but it's possible it's inferring the wrong URL type

@fershad / @mrchrisadams i think this is ready for a first look from you. i tried to hit the right balance between getting some maintainable types without adding too much complex typescript logic that might be a barrier to entry for contributors. but of course i'll defer to you on what that balance should be, so let me know if i should lean more toward the "fancy" typescript features or go in the other direction and make everything more explicit.

specifically the "fancy" stuff i'm referring to is in the utility types at the bottom of types.js, which i think are helpful in encapsulating some repeated patterns i found in mapping between different values, but their inner workings are probably not very approachable to a typescript beginner.

in terms of leaning toward more complex typescript logic, what i had in mind was for methods like perByte and perVisit where the return type can be different depending on the arguments to the method or to the class constructor. in theory i think we could encode that into the type system itself, which would be nice for consumers of the library since they would be able to statically infer the return type in their own code, but would involve some relatively complex typescript logic.

@sfishel18 sfishel18 force-pushed the just-enough-typescript branch 2 times, most recently from c3b4a2e to fbbeabf Compare April 14, 2024 02:22
