Merge union?
How would I merge a union to have more options seeing as union doesnt have merge method?
Base Union
const payment_methods = type("'credit_card' | 'debit_card' | 'eft' | 'apple_pay' | 'samsung_pay' | 'visa_checkout'")
Extended Union
const payment_methods_south_africa = payment_methods.merge("'zapper' | 'capitec_pay' | 'mobicred' | 'mukuru_pay' | 'snap_scan'")5 Replies
I mean presumably you can do
.or()Not really an 'or' though
It is?
type(a | b).or(c | d) is functionally the same as type(a | b | c | d)There's also this https://github.com/arktypeio/arktype/blob/cf9dfcfbc7cb05e6c299d7c4a7ac8eacf4748065/ark/type/__tests__/union.test.ts#L45-L49

Ahh you are correct
the OR is the answer here, i thought it would be a different type to what is created. thanks
Solution is to use OR:
type(a | b).or(c | d)
