Extracting intent into runtime

Hello! What is the canon way to extract keys from types like these:

const type1 = type({
  intent: '"hello"',
 })

const type2 = type({
  intent: '"hello"',
}).or({
  intent: '"bye"',
})

const type1 = type({
  intent: '"hello"',
 })

const type2 = type({
  intent: '"hello"',
}).or({
  intent: '"bye"',
})

In a way that the resulting object is

{
  intent: {
    hello: 'hello'
  }
}

{
  intent: {
    hello: 'hello',
    bye: 'bye'
  }
}

{
  intent: {
    hello: 'hello'
  }
}

{
  intent: {
    hello: 'hello',
    bye: 'bye'
  }
}

? Would it be achieved with internal.distribute?

Yeah you'd have to write a custom distribute that's not exactly a standard operation

Got it!

const intent2 = type2.in.internal.distribute(
    (branch) => {
        return branch.required().get('intent').unit
    },
    (branches) =>
        branches.reduce((acc, intent) => ({ ...acc, [intent]: intent }), {}),
)

const intent2 = type2.in.internal.distribute(
    (branch) => {
        return branch.required().get('intent').unit
    },
    (branches) =>
        branches.reduce((acc, intent) => ({ ...acc, [intent]: intent }), {}),
)

And the type:

intent: { [I in type.infer.In<def>['intent']]: I }

intent: { [I in type.infer.In<def>['intent']]: I }

Nice! That looks pretty clean 🧹

Is there a key for both required() and optional()? Or is it just [...branch.required(), ...branch.optional()]?

Yeah you should look at StructureNode
