Recursive type problem:

Hello, I'm trying to define a recursive type with the library, but without success, i have the error remoteFieldSchema is unresolvable. What can i do:

const recTypes = type.module({
    remoteFieldSchema: {
        arguments: type({ "[string]": "string" }),
            field: type({ "[string]": "remoteFieldSchema" }).optional(),
    },
});

thanks in advance.

Don't wrap your definitions in type- that will try to parse them using the default scope Just pass them directly to type.module and use "field?" to make the key optional I meant to add a gotcha about this to the Scope docs, so this is a good reminder thank you 🙂 Here's the new warning: Even if you reference it as part of your scope definition, the global type parser only knows about builtin keywords.

const badScope = scope({
    id: "string",
    // ❌ wrapping this definition in `type` will fail
    badEntity: type({
        // TypeScript: 'id' is unresolvable
        id: "id"
    }),
    // ✅ reference scoped definitions directly instead of wrapping them
    goodEntity: {
        id: "id"
    }
})

const badScope = scope({
    id: "string",
    // ❌ wrapping this definition in `type` will fail
    badEntity: type({
        // TypeScript: 'id' is unresolvable
        id: "id"
    }),
    // ✅ reference scoped definitions directly instead of wrapping them
    goodEntity: {
        id: "id"
    }
})

If you need access to fluent syntax from within a scope, see thunks.
