Hey Fam 👋
I struggled with using typescript and ramda for a long time and figured I would brain dump a little. Maybe it will help some one else! Specifically, I struggled with how typescript can't always infer generics that ramda defines. The result is writing verbose types that are not really necessary, or forcing types with as and !.
Generics are super weird when getting into them, that coupled with ramda being a monster and typescript not being able to readily infer everything is a perfect shitstorm.
Whenever I work with ramda, my workflow is:
- Do a thing and assign it to a variable.
- If the variable isn't the type I expect, jump to the definition of the function in ramda
