How to default export an object of an interface type in TS

[balmy shuttle]

module.exports = { ... }
export default { ... }

since you're using ts, you should be using esm-like syntax

[pallid blade]

ik how to do that

[balmy shuttle]

cjs imports/exports will be generated upon compilation

[pallid blade]

but how do I make the type of my interface type

like make module.exports Command type

[balmy shuttle]

you don't really need to do that

ts is structurally typed

you could do one of these

const command: Command = { ... };
export default command;
``````ts
export default { ... } satisfies Command;

I have seen the first one

long but could work

but what is the second one?

satisfies?

[balmy shuttle]

it's relatively new

[pallid blade]

ah

should I use 1 or 2 then?

[balmy shuttle]

up to you

[pallid blade]

since 2 is newer I assume 1

[balmy shuttle]

what pattern do you like more

[pallid blade]

ahhhh

[pallid blade]

tbh the second one is short but confusing

[balmy shuttle]

not really a concern with ts, since compatibility isn't a big concern with devDependencies

[pallid blade]

but the first one is simple but longer

[balmy shuttle]

i don't think it's really confusing, satisfies is really useful
i'd guess it's just confusing now since that's new to you

but again, up to you

if you prefer the former, go ahead

[pallid blade]

oh I see

[pallid blade]

I want to hear what you would recommed

since I want this to go into a repo

[balmy shuttle]

i wouldn't recommend either over the other without context tbh

i personally would use a class

[pallid blade]

for commands?

[balmy shuttle]

yeah

[pallid blade]

this is what I am using it for

[balmy shuttle]

that's specific to me though, i use java as well so the patterns leak through in my mind

[pallid blade]

I tried the class I spent days writing classes and got no where

[pallid blade]

same

but since I started using TS I realized there are faster ways

[balmy shuttle]

i have a public repo that i use for bots that kinda has a framework (im working on separating out the framework, but i haven't had time)
you could try checking that out if you want to use classes

[pallid blade]

oooh

[balmy shuttle]

only other thing i can really recommend you is the ts server for more opinions

[pallid blade]

could you send a link?

[pallid blade]

I already am in so many servers

besides for me this is a very nitty gritty scenario

like I have never had such specific things needed

development has slowed down a lot so some stuff might not be up to spec

i don't have enough free time lmao

[pallid blade]

oh ok

[pallid blade]

relatable

[balmy shuttle]

(both the repos that are referenced in the main readme are currently local, those will yield 404s)

[pallid blade]

ooh gotcha
