Event status types

[weak marsh]

I understand this, but my question is where will that generic parameter be filled in?

[jagged gale]

I thought that by setting the type of the status property it would get it from there wouldn't it?

that's the part I'm not sure about which is why I asked you

[weak marsh]

Are you saying that specific gateway events would return GuildScheduledEvent<Type>

[jagged gale]

that could also be a thing but for other events I thought that if the status property is of type Status, then you could use that to determine what types are accepted in the method

I'm gonna ask in TS support

[weak marsh]

You can, but it needs to be set at some point

Like the generic parameter needs to be a specific event at some point, before runtime

At most you can check if event.status === 'ACTIVE' and then it asserts that its an active event that can be only completed. You can't infer the type at runtime

[jagged gale]

then we could have this type parameter and use that for our own checks right?

it'd be useless

but sure

realistically you could

but you'd need isX: this is Event<aaa>

[jagged gale]

do we need typeguards? Can't we just do the strict equality check?

cuz doing typeguards for a property is quite stupid lol

Do be able to use the strict equality you need to define GuildScheduledEvent as an union of the 3 possible states

[jagged gale]

aight let's scrap that idea then

I mean it's doable! It's how in -types, checking by audit log key name automatically types the old/new values
