6 Create a function type with a return type of your choice and the same parameters as the given function type.
8 Use-case: You want to define a wrapped function that returns something different while receiving the same parameters. For example, you might want to wrap a function that can throw an error into one that will return `undefined` instead.
12 import {SetReturnType} from 'type-fest';
14 type MyFunctionThatCanThrow = (foo: SomeType, bar: unknown) => SomeOtherType;
16 type MyWrappedFunction = SetReturnType<MyFunctionThatCanThrow, SomeOtherType | undefined>;
17 //=> type MyWrappedFunction = (foo: SomeType, bar: unknown) => SomeOtherType | undefined;
20 export type SetReturnType<Fn extends (...args: any[]) => any, TypeToReturn> =
21 // Just using `Parameters<Fn>` isn't ideal because it doesn't handle the `this` fake parameter.
22 Fn extends (this: infer ThisArg, ...args: infer Arguments) => any ? (
23 // If a function did not specify the `this` fake parameter, it will be inferred to `unknown`.
24 // We want to detect this situation just to display a friendlier type upon hovering on an IntelliSense-powered IDE.
25 IsUnknown<ThisArg> extends true ? (...args: Arguments) => TypeToReturn : (this: ThisArg, ...args: Arguments) => TypeToReturn
27 // This part should be unreachable, but we make it meaningful just in caseā¦
28 (...args: Parameters<Fn>) => TypeToReturn
